Last time my Corolla also showed this C1433 trouble code, and it took me quite a while to figure it out. Basically, it means the key lost communication with the vehicle's anti-theft module, which commonly happens after replacing a new key or disconnecting the battery. For manual pairing, first don't step on the brake, quickly press the start button twice to light up the dashboard; then within 30 seconds, hold the unlock button, followed by the lock button, each for 5 seconds. Wait for the hazard lights to flash once, which means the synchronization is successful. If the car doesn't respond, check if the key battery is dead or if there's any foreign object stuck in the key slot. Once, my key case was too thick, causing a weak signal—removing it fixed the issue. If all else fails, you'll need to use a diagnostic tool to reprogram the system. Trying to fix it yourself might accidentally trigger the anti-theft lockout.
