Toyota Corolla 2020 Hybrid ID-Box Reset & Smart System Synchronization after replacement using AVDI

Hello Friends,

Hope you're all having a good day!
I'm very happy to share with you the latest car I got the chance to work on- a 2020 Toyota Corolla Hybrid where its keys were lost.
Abrites have released a new function that allows the Toyota ID- Code Box to be reset and the Smart System replaced.

The reset of the ID Code Box opens up many possibilities for those working on Toyota vehicles, mainly due to its location and the long time it takes for the vehicle to be dismantled until the ID Code Box is removed. These include:

Key programming situations - for vehicles manufactured after 2018, where key programming requires a new set comprising an ID Code Box, Smart System and keys, users can use also used Smart systems (with available keys) as a plug and play solution once the ID Code Box has been reset.

Smart system defect - in this case, just like in key programming situations all modules would have to be replaced. The reset of the ID Code Box allows you to exchange only the Smart system and the keys and both new and second hand Smart systems can be used (second hand smart systems need to have keys available).

Let me get to the good part- the procedure I followed was quite simple, what may be tricky is finding the LIN BUS communication channel (K-Line). For this task I use the electrical wiring diagram of the Toyota Factory Repair Manual that can be found on the Toyota website.

You have two possibilities here to connect to the LIN BUS of the car:

1. Use the ZN051 Distribution Box
or
2. Use the CB012 Cable Set

Both methods work flawlessly, I can't say which one I find easier to apply because they're both easy.
