I have 1998 LS400 and I bought a new key from Ebay.
Now when I tried to program the key to the car, wireless part was no problem but actually to be able to start the car with the new key, no luck.
I followed instructions from service manual but still nothing.
When I enter to to the programming mode, the security light blinks once and after that nothing. Even I wait for 2-3 minutes, the key does not get programmed but also the security light does not blink more than once. If I stop the programming sequence, then when entering the new key to the ignition, security light blinks and if I enter the master key, security light stops blinking.
But what is so strange here is that the new keys opens the doors without any errors.
Does anyone know why in programming mode the light only blinks once, since it is supposed to be doing blinking all the time untill key is programmed.
