2004 Toyota 4runner Transponder Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
A woman in North Park called me about her 2004 4Runner. It had been starting fine for about ten days after another locksmith cut and programmed a replacement key, and then it started acting up. Mornings were fine. By evening, nothing. Crank, run for two seconds, die. She was convinced something was wrong with the wiring or the fuel system.
I drove out to her spot near the laundromat off 30th. She showed me the key - visually it looked right. But I plugged in and read the chip, and the transponder that had been used was the wrong generation for this vehicle. The 2004 4Runner's immobilizer is not forgiving about that. What happens sometimes with a mismatched chip is it passes the initial enrollment check but fails the deeper rolling verification the system runs over several drive cycles. So the truck starts, the owner thinks the job is done, and a week later they're stranded.
I programmed a correct, generation-matched transponder key on site. Tested it through several start cycles before I left. She asked me what the other locksmith had charged her. I told her what I charge. She did the math out loud.
The difference between a key that works and one that works for a week is matching the right chip to the right system. That's not a shortcut I take.

From lost keys to happy customers
“I needed two keys made for my Honda Element. Friendly, fast, fair pricing, and far better than any other locksmith I have used in the area. Best service by far.”
“I lost my Honda Passport key and called EZ Car Keyz. He came out and made a new key in under five minutes. Legendary service.”
“They responded instantly, showed up within an hour, and arrived exactly when they said they would. Made a copy and programmed a fob for my 2014 car with a worn ignition in about 15 minutes. The new key works perfectly and feels like a dealer key.”
