The 2000–2003 ES uses the same key setup, so everything on this page applies to those years too. The full picture is on the Lexus ES key guide.

Same key system as the 2000–2003 ES

Lexus kept the ES's key system unchanged across 2000–2003, so everything about replacing a 2002 key — blanks, programming, and what happens if every key is lost — matches the rest of that run. The full year-by-year breakdown lives in our Lexus ES key guide.

What drives the price is the key type, whether you still have a working key, and where the car is parked. There's more on Lexus programming in general on our Lexus key page.
