    This is for a 2008 NL packaged prius. Bought car used, with one remote...

    Anyway, I accidentally pushed the key button and now the sks functions don't work. Car still (un)locks by pushing buttons on key fob. Car still starts by inserting fob into slot.

    How do I reprogram if this fob's sks functions has been cleared or deleted from car's memory?

    NL is like level 3 of packages offered....

    And the key button I'm referring to is the one in the lower dash area, under the steering column. Next to the tire pressure reset switch....

    You use the switch to turn off SKS when letting the vehicle sit unused for a long time so it won't run down the 12v battery.

    Don't worry if you don't remember it will be a self-correcting problem. ;) And Welcome!
