Consulted every forum post, Facebook group, and two people at my local dealer, none could tell me why the light was doing this or why I couldn’t get new keys to program in my 2006 4Runner. I’ve had the issue for two years. started this video and gave up originally since my security light is not the same. Fixed easily through your technique. Can’t thank you enough!
Thank you for your help today you have saved me $180.00 I went to the dealership they told me that I had to pay just for a technician just to look at my vehicle It would cost me $180.00. But then you showed me how to fix my problem. If there’s a guardian angel of cars you’re it.
Man, I just brought back my RAV4 from mechanic who worked on fixing ECU & immobilizer as the car wasn’t starting. It worked but was having this issue as we speak. As soon as I watched this video, I went to the car and did exactly what you did, the second attempt, it went back to normal mode . Thank you so much 🙏 Subbed
Tried a million times last night after programming new key and had to reset my immobilizer. Tried it this morning and got it first time! 2008 Tundra. Thanks a million!
Thank you very much for this wonderful Video! Same here, I spent more than $500 at Canadian Tire replaced the starter weeks ago, but it did not solve the problem. Car won't start again yesterday morning. And the strearing wheel is locked, I knew it was anti theft system problem, just have no idea how to reset it. I spend 2-3 hours online and thanks God I found this video! I tried keeping my key at on position and waited few minitues, it started! Thanks a million!
Worked on my 2011 Toyota Camry. After I bought a new key today, it started blinking while driving. After watching your video it worked on the first try! Thank you soooo much
Dear DIY autoworksNG....I am extremely greatful for your very informative video. Ive had a similar problem with the remote start feature not working on my Toyota Tacoma truck for the longest time and NOBODY ELSE before you could tell me about the "learning mode" which you talked about. I did exactly what you stated to do about turning the key to the ON position 5 times in a very short time and IT WORKED !! Its out of learning mode now ! I am one happy man!! thankyou thankyou thankyou sir !!
This video helped me with my 2000 Toyota Camry Solara. All of a sudden, the alarm would go off intermittently after getting out of the car and setting the alarm. This was irritating and unacceptable. I tried the second part of ths video about 3 times before it finally worked -- let the key sit in the on position for 10 mnts for the system to recognize the key again. Not sure what I was doing wrrong but it finally worked. I thought I was going to have to take the car to a locksmith or the dealer but the thrid try was a charm. Thank you for posting the video!
We had a guy trying to program an extra key (and he failed) for our 2011 RAV4, the light was blinking while driving afterward. Your explanation was so helpful, thank you. All is good now.
OMG. Mannnnn you saved my ass. I have a Corolla 2013, was removing the radio to prep for an aftermarket upgrade. I just wanted to disconnect the radio to look at the harnesses- plugged the factory radio back in. Then the radio shut down power in the ‘ON’ position and I was confused. i tried starting the car and just got nothing but rapid clicks and started freaking out. I was like, no fucking way the car got damaged by a radio replacement. I searched the internet, alot of immediate assumptions about the starter or ECM then saw a comment from a forum saying it had to do with the security system. A few more searches, found your video. Followed the easy instructions on how to deactivate security and the car turned! I was so fucking happy lol. Apparently the security system shuts down power to the starter in the event your radio gets stolen. I mean its a very smart system, but obviously sucks if you are replacing your radio and have no idea it is doing that. Some other guy was saying it was the ECM and you might need an expert to fix it. Didn’t need an expert, just needed your video. Thank you!
Oh my God this is the first lead that I have, I have searched the internet pretty thoroughly and could not find out why in my 2006 Toyota Sienna SE, all I did was disconnect the Factory subwoofer in the back of the van because it was blown and took it out and replaced it with a brand new one and hook the wiring harness backup just the way it was and I went to start the van and it would not start it will just keep turning over and keep turning over and it just won't start. And I don't understand how just doing that would make my vehicle not start, until now! Thank you so much for your comment, you really helped me out so much at least I know it's possible for or in theory still because it was just a subwoofer I replaced I didn't disconnect the radio harness I didn't even take the radio out, but hopefully it's what you said happened to your vehicle, because it makes perfect sense I don't know why they made Vehicles like that but I guess it's kind of cool if your radio gets stolen or messed with but it's kind of irritating when you just replace a subwoofer and this happens. I'm just hoping that this is it and I'm going to try doing everything that you've done to hopefully get it to run perfectly like it did before. I know the fuel rail pressure whenever I test it under the hood has none whatsoever, and I thought oh my gosh what a freaking coincidence I go to put in a new subwoofer and my fuel pump goes out, but this van has had nothing wrong with the way it runs or operates in any way shape or form until I did that. It didn't make no sense whatsoever, I checked all the relays, they are good, fuses are good, but there is a red light on my dashboard no it's got a picture of a car and in the middle of it as a lock oh, and I guess that is the security system, maybe it isn't lemon mode, fingers crossed on fixing to go outside and do what you'll have done hopefully it works for me. It sucks having a perfectly running vehicle, and then just doing this simple upgrade to the subwoofer made my van not start, it is very saddening and irritating and just plain out sad, especially when you don't have money to put it in the shop right away common it's your only vehicle to get back and forth to work, and you're stuck asking friends and family for rides to get to and from work and to the grocery store when needed. It's been about a little over a week and a half since this happened and this is the first hope that I've had this whole time of researching of what could have happened because I haven't read anywhere else on the internet, by replacing anything to do with the radio, or subwoofer could disable my van. So I just want to get the shout out to you and to the guy that made the video, at least I got something to go on now. And I will add another updated comment after this morning after I try your guys's reset. Thank you God bless and I hope you guys have a wonderful day!
It is a Sunday morning here we shared this video in community tab so we can keep watching it over and over again, this a very comprehensive video. You earned a new sub brother from another mother. We will try it
Thanks so much. For some reason my Toyota Highlander 2008 key light was flashing and the car was not coming on. I came online hoping there might be a solution, cos the mechanic was taking forever. Anyway, using the 1st method described in the video, the car powered on and the flashing light went off. Great!
i have the same problem with my 2002 toyota highlander car when i am in the car the security light flashes again and the car will not start. thank you very much i will try this tomorrow.
Since your car doesn't start, did you try the 2nd procedure I showed in the video of leaving the key in the ignition in the key on, engine off position?
@DIYAutoworksNG Hello, great video and easy to understand. My 2007 Sienna has the same problem, the light is steady when engine is off. Car starts fine but blinks while key in the on position or driving. No error code in immobilizer (using XTOOL7), I tried two methods that you described in the video, I tried 5 times on and off (first method) and 10-15 min left in on position (second) method. No luck so far, Is there other way to get out of the learning mode ? May be using scanner XTOOL7 ?
Try the 5 times one again, this time do it 6 - 7 times... Thanks for the compliment! I'm not sure if the exiting learning mode can be done through the scanner.
thanks for the video. i have camry 2007 LE where the mechanical key is not working only the remote key is working? The key is flashing when i close the car. Is this has anything to do with why the mechanical keys are not working? thx
Hello, my car is a 2022 rav4 hybrid. The smart computer ecu was stolen from it. What are the appropriate steps to solve the problem and operate the car? For information, smart key fob its available
You'll have to buy a replacement ECU with the exact same part number. A scan tool with the replace ECU function will be required, after doing that step, the smart fobs will then be programmed to the car. I can't say what scan tool supports these functions on the 2022 Rav4 though.
Hi. I have recently bought toyota corolla 2003. Previous owner installed third party immobiliser. Now when I start the engine, the security light keeps on blinking and also the hazard lights blinks simultaneously. This goes for couple of kms before the hazard lights turn off. Previous owner said that they lost 1of the original key and now they have 1 original key and 1 duplicate key. My main concern is the hazard lights blinking when driving for few kms. Kindly help. TIA
Thanks for sharing. While it could be a sticky hazard light relay, since there's an aftermarket immobilizer in play, it would be difficult to provide virtual assistance. I advise engagement of someone who can remove the part and restore the car to factory state (if it turns out it's not the relay).
Hi there! Usually it flashes every 5 seconds while parked, but today I noticed that the same LED flashes constantly, every 0.5 seconds - no matter if the engine is running or parked.. The engine starts with no problem. Any idea how to reset it or what could be wrong? I could not find any information in the car manual. Toyota Yaris 2014, 1.3 Gasoline
Help please 03 Corolla battery went dead over the winter and it was sitting. Battery is charged up the car does not have a key fob it is manual door locks . No key fob . Has aftermarket key . It worked before . Now the car won't even engage the starter with key . what to do ? Security light flashes and parking lights flash .. I open the door with the key and unlocked the door. I also left the key on the run position for 15 minutes still did not fix anything
The 03 corolla does not have a chip key nor immobilizer. Do you actually have a security light? 100% the battery is properly charged? Do the dash lights come on? No crank? Also rule out rodent activity since you said its been sitting for a while.
@@DIYAutoworksNG yes charged battery full. So I believe I fixed it . It has a red small security light that flashes to left of steering wheel . . I was looking around there and there is a small chrome PC knob that sticks out on the left kick panel by your foot it has two wires going to it. I assume it's too security I was messing with that. The security light went off and then it started so that is the issue .I think it's fixed ? Thanks for your response . Btw it's a base model Corolla
Hi, I have an issue related to the security indicator. my vehicle model is 2022 RAV4, which I do not need to/cannot physically insert the key to turn of the vehicle. My issus is slightly different, I connected a OBD2 cable to my vehilce, and turn on the parking mode on my dash cam, the dash cam continues to record after engine is off. However, I realize that the security indicator flashes (nor sure whether the frequency is normal or not), then the car lock/unlock buttons, the proximity buttons to lock/unlock the car starr to malfunction, which I have to use the key fog to lock or unlock the vehicle. Do you have any ideas, whether this is related to the car security system, which could be resolved similarly (turn on/off the vehicle 5 times)?
The procedure shared here to the best of my knowledge is for Toyotas of certain years with a key blade. I don't know if it works on smart entry units. Regarding your issue, can you share more on what you did after you connected the OBD2 device. What scanner was that? Did you modify any settings in the immobilizer or configure any ECU's?
I tried and tried and tried this today and it hasn't helped so far. I did have to jump start the car and run it for a while to make sure if I stopped at the store, I wouldn't have to jump it again in a parking lot. I'll try it again tomorrow, I hope it works.
Hi I’m Tj need help I did remove the battery and put + to -, to reset codes, the car won’t start anymore, dash board is blinking, my car is Toyota Avalon 2004
My 98 toyota lexus es300 doesn't have key fob but when I unlock car from out side it alarms only way off is to stick keep in ignition and turn it does effect starting just can't get it to stop from outside till I open the door and put in ignition and turn and today did it when I open the hood ?? How to stop this? Very sensitive seems?
The shock sensors may have gone overly sensitive. It could also be a low/weak car battery/corroded terminals, broken micro switch, etc. Is it an aftermarket alarm? Also, try leaving the key in the ignition with the car in the key on, engine off position. Allow as much as 10-15 mins. It could help recode the chip to the anti-theft system.
Mine is a Toyota Unser King with the Cobra Alarm(?) Left the car few minutes for an ATM. Suddenly, the car couldn't start. The security light is off, and the one for the touch key is also off. But the car still can't start. Any solution? :Already changed the starter 2 months ago:
This video is based on a stock setup, so this may not apply to a Toyota with an aftermarket antitheft system. May have to do with the Cobra alarm. Does the car crank? Also be sure it's not a dead battery.
Mine used to blink but now it doesn’t is there a way to fix that? Also what is that think just to the right of the security button? It’s also next to your dash dimmer and I for the life of me have never figured out its purpose.
@@DIYAutoworksNG in the past, it would slow blink red when the car was off but it doesn’t seem to do that anymore. Idk if there’s a wire not working or if there’s a trick or if the light can stop working? Idk.
I have a 2013 Toyota Corolla. Same issue the security light stays solid when car is off and doors locked. Once I enter my key it starts flashing. I am able to start my car with my key but the FOB part of it no longer locks/unlocks my doors anymore. I tried cycling the ignition 5 times like in the video but nothing changes. Any suggestions?
@DIYAutoworksNG so today I had an issue where I put my key in, dash lit up fine, but no start. There's a small toggle by the break pedal, my buddy flicked it a few times and car started up fine. But then I drove home, and it didn't start again after checking on it. He said it could be the theft system, that's why I was looking at videos. I'm gonna try this trick mabye it will work
Hi! I have a Toyota Corolla 2003. I've tried both the methods but my car won't start. Also am noticing the security light flashing. Usually I insert the anti-theft fob thing in the pointer and car starts. But now it is not recognizing it so the car won't start. Please help!
4 things I suggest you do, and in this order... 1. Rule out a dead battery 2. Confirm if car starts in Neutral. If it does, it's the transmission range switch that needs cleaning/replacement. 3. Try starting while someone taps on the starter motor. If it starts, starter motor is the culprit. 4. If none of the above work try to have the car immobilizer unit scanned. Hit should have a code if its lost memory of your key. In this case, the key would need to be reprogrammed. If I think of anything else, I'll update. Just to be clear, with the key in the ignition, the security light continues to blink?
@DIYAutoworksNG The battery is good actually because the headliggt are not dim. Yes. with the key in ignition, the security light rapidly flashes, which it has never done before.
I have a Camry 2005 GCC car, ten days ago, suddenly it stopped starting, the engine rotates, but it does not start. I went to the electric mechanic and it turned out that there was a problem with the car key. After 10 days, the car stopped and did not start, the same problem came back, and the red security light was not normal, like the case in the video. When it was examined on the scanner, the code B2795 appeared on it. What should I do in this case????? 💔
Follow the 2nd procedure I talked about in the video for if your car doesn't start. You will leave the ignition on until the security light goes off. If it doesn't go off after 15mins and you followed the procedure correctly, the key will need to be reprogrammed. I hope you don't have a weak car battery?
For some reason, I've never come across a Toyota Avenger. If you tried the procedures in the video and they don't work, I'm afraid I may not be of much help.
i did this and it works but when i turn the key the car doesnt crank, the starter moves but no crank, even the fuel pump doesnt make noise but all the fuses are good and the fuel pump receives power when the key is in the on position , I even swapped the fuel pump with a spare one and both dont turn on and hum when i switch to the on position, its a 2000 1.4 toyota corolla
hello sir ! i am having this problem now . i tried to do like videos you make but it does not work. My car is camry 2007 LE, when the key is in , it not show the security light , but it showed when i take off the key.
I lost the key for my Toyota camry 2003 and got new one ….after getting new one security light is keep on blinking all the time but my car runs fine. How to erase that security light pls tell
Mine doesnt flash when the key is in the ignition but it wont start either do i have the same issue, i have a 2006 toyota matrix i tried your technique but it didnt work.
(Sorry for my bad english) Hi, I have a 2007 Corolla and the security light stills on when I close the car with the remote control, but when I close it with the key, the light flash normally. What can I do? Thank you so much. Edit: the engine always starts correctly
@@DIYAutoworksNG Thanks for answer! When I close the car with the remote control, the light stays steady. But, if I close it whit the key, the light flash. Although when I get in the car and put the key to start it, it turns off and stops blinking, and the engine starts normally
Seems like normal operation. There may be some slight variation in the way the security light works depending on the region the car is made for. I am not sure though, but the fact that it starts blinking when you lock the car with the remote, and goes off with the key in the ignition sounds normal though different from the Matrix in the video and some others which start blinking once the key is out of the ignition.
Hii. Good day! Is it normal that the light flashes when I turn the engine off and lock the car? The car doesn't seem to do this before, or I just didn't noticed. The light stops flashing once I unlock the car. I have a toyota fortuner. Thank you very much!
I tried this with my 2013 Toyota Corolla and it won’t work. When my doors are closed and locked the security light stays solid l, as soon as I put my key in or start the car the lights start flashing. Tried doing the off/ on key trick 5 times no luck. Any suggestions?
Hello. I'm trying to understand your query better. Are you saying the security light is blinking? When does it do this? If it only blinks after you remove the key that is normal. If it blinks with the key in the ignition or while driving, that's abnormal. Which one is it?
This just help me reset my es330 security anti theft system. The anti theft light stayed on b4 now. Thank you man. You just made my day
I'm delighted it worked for you! Toyota being the owner of Lexus implements similar security protocols.
@@DIYAutoworksNG is this going to work for Toyota Revo Gasoline 2004 matic?

It works on my land cruiser 120 2009
Glad it worked!
thanks for the video. i have camry 2007 LE where the mechanical key is not working only the remote key is working? The key is flashing when i close the car. Is this has anything to do with why the mechanical keys are not working? thx
Try the 2nd procedure I mentioned in the video. If it fails, key programming will need to be done for the car.
Thank 😊 you worked perfectly
Great to know!
Hello, my car is a 2022 rav4 hybrid. The smart computer ecu was stolen from it. What are the appropriate steps to solve the problem and operate the car? For information, smart key fob its available
You'll have to buy a replacement ECU with the exact same part number. A scan tool with the replace ECU function will be required, after doing that step, the smart fobs will then be programmed to the car. I can't say what scan tool supports these functions on the 2022 Rav4 though.
@@DIYAutoworksNG okay thanks you mean buy a new part same number not used same number and program it
You are amazing. Worked once
Glad it helped!
Very interesting. I never knew this.
Glad to help
Can you tell me where this location THEFT WARNING Module in corrolla car didn't find module.

Do you program the engine ecu
As part of this procedure or otherwise?
Hi. I have recently bought toyota corolla 2003. Previous owner installed third party immobiliser. Now when I start the engine, the security light keeps on blinking and also the hazard lights blinks simultaneously. This goes for couple of kms before the hazard lights turn off. Previous owner said that they lost 1of the original key and now they have 1 original key and 1 duplicate key.
My main concern is the hazard lights blinking when driving for few kms. Kindly help. TIA
Thanks for sharing. While it could be a sticky hazard light relay, since there's an aftermarket immobilizer in play, it would be difficult to provide virtual assistance. I advise engagement of someone who can remove the part and restore the car to factory state (if it turns out it's not the relay).
You are very good. Thanks
Thanks and welcome!
Hi there! Usually it flashes every 5 seconds while parked, but today I noticed that the same LED flashes constantly, every 0.5 seconds - no matter if the engine is running or parked.. The engine starts with no problem. Any idea how to reset it or what could be wrong? I could not find any information in the car manual.
Toyota Yaris 2014, 1.3 Gasoline
Did you try the procedure in the video?
i love you brother!, you saved my tail!.
Glad I could help
Help please 03 Corolla battery went dead over the winter and it was sitting. Battery is charged up the car does not have a key fob it is manual door locks . No key fob . Has aftermarket key . It worked before . Now the car won't even engage the starter with key . what to do ? Security light flashes and parking lights flash .. I open the door with the key and unlocked the door. I also left the key on the run position for 15 minutes still did not fix anything
The 03 corolla does not have a chip key nor immobilizer. Do you actually have a security light? 100% the battery is properly charged? Do the dash lights come on? No crank? Also rule out rodent activity since you said its been sitting for a while.
@@DIYAutoworksNG yes charged battery full. So I believe I fixed it . It has a red small security light that flashes to left of steering wheel . . I was looking around there and there is a small chrome PC knob that sticks out on the left kick panel by your foot it has two wires going to it. I assume it's too security I was messing with that. The security light went off and then it started so that is the issue .I think it's fixed ? Thanks for your response . Btw it's a base model Corolla
Happy you sorted it!
@@DIYAutoworksNG I hope so . Thanks for your quick response . take care
Thank you for the info. This was very helpful.
Glad it was helpful
Nice one bro, God bless.
Thanks!
Hi, I have an issue related to the security indicator.
my vehicle model is 2022 RAV4, which I do not need to/cannot physically insert the key to turn of the vehicle.
My issus is slightly different, I connected a OBD2 cable to my vehilce, and turn on the parking mode on my dash cam, the dash cam continues to record after engine is off.
However, I realize that the security indicator flashes (nor sure whether the frequency is normal or not), then the car lock/unlock buttons, the proximity buttons to lock/unlock the car starr to malfunction, which I have to use the key fog to lock or unlock the vehicle.
Do you have any ideas, whether this is related to the car security system, which could be resolved similarly (turn on/off the vehicle 5 times)?
The procedure shared here to the best of my knowledge is for Toyotas of certain years with a key blade. I don't know if it works on smart entry units.
Regarding your issue, can you share more on what you did after you connected the OBD2 device. What scanner was that? Did you modify any settings in the immobilizer or configure any ECU's?
Anyone know how to do this with a keyless start (push to start). I’ve tried the door lock method where you hold the key for 30 seconds.
I haven't come across this, but I'm looking. I'll let you know if I find
Wow, they just ate my 35k right now because of this😂😂😂😂. This is the second time. Thanks. 😂😂😂😂😂
😂 Follow for more. Lol
I tried and tried and tried this today and it hasn't helped so far. I did have to jump start the car and run it for a while to make sure if I stopped at the store, I wouldn't have to jump it again in a parking lot. I'll try it again tomorrow, I hope it works.
What car?
Will this work on a 99 Lexus?
Not sure, but you could try.
Hi I’m Tj need help
I did remove the battery and put + to -, to reset codes, the car won’t start anymore, dash board is blinking, my car is Toyota Avalon 2004
Can you explain by the dash is blinking? Is your battery good? When you turn on the headlights, are the beams strong or appear weak?
@@DIYAutoworksNG all dashboard lights are blinking
Thank you so much bro.
Always welcome
My 98 toyota lexus es300 doesn't have key fob but when I unlock car from out side it alarms only way off is to stick keep in ignition and turn it does effect starting just can't get it to stop from outside till I open the door and put in ignition and turn and today did it when I open the hood ?? How to stop this? Very sensitive seems?
The shock sensors may have gone overly sensitive. It could also be a low/weak car battery/corroded terminals, broken micro switch, etc. Is it an aftermarket alarm?
Also, try leaving the key in the ignition with the car in the key on, engine off position. Allow as much as 10-15 mins. It could help recode the chip to the anti-theft system.
@@DIYAutoworksNG so turn like to start and don't start it and waitv19b15 minutes then pull key out then start it?
10 to 15 minutes sorry auto corrected
Yes. Does the red light blink when the key is in the ignition?
@@DIYAutoworksNG no it don't?
Mine is a Toyota Unser King with the Cobra Alarm(?)
Left the car few minutes for an ATM. Suddenly, the car couldn't start.
The security light is off, and the one for the touch key is also off. But the car still can't start. Any solution?
:Already changed the starter 2 months ago:
This video is based on a stock setup, so this may not apply to a Toyota with an aftermarket antitheft system. May have to do with the Cobra alarm.
Does the car crank? Also be sure it's not a dead battery.
Thank you so much 🙏🏻
You’re welcome 😊
@@DIYAutoworksNG
Do you have WhatsApp in case I can ask any questions if possible?
None that I can share publicly. However, feel free to reach me any time via a comment!
Mine used to blink but now it doesn’t is there a way to fix that? Also what is that think just to the right of the security button? It’s also next to your dash dimmer and I for the life of me have never figured out its purpose.
You mean the light never turns on or it never goes off?
I haven't found out the purpose of that funny thing either. Lol
@@DIYAutoworksNG in the past, it would slow blink red when the car was off but it doesn’t seem to do that anymore. Idk if there’s a wire not working or if there’s a trick or if the light can stop working? Idk.
It's possible. That security light can burn out or the wire to it have a short. I would consider this if the light doesn't come on at all.
Buenas tardes ami toyota tundra 2007 le pasa lo mismo me podria ayudar
Just follow the steps in the video, it should work.
hello I did the process all right but when I remove the key it stays blinking sienna 2005

It should blink when you remove the key. That is what tells you that the security is armed. It's staying solid that's a problem.
You saved my life bro
Good it worked for you.
Hi can you tell me how to turn off completely alarm system is it possible?
Not possible except you manually disable the buzzer.
@@DIYAutoworksNG ok thanks
I have a 2013 Toyota Corolla. Same issue the security light stays solid when car is off and doors locked. Once I enter my key it starts flashing. I am able to start my car with my key but the FOB part of it no longer locks/unlocks my doors anymore. I tried cycling the ignition 5 times like in the video but nothing changes. Any suggestions?
Forgot to note, I only have one key! I am able to open the trunk with it so I dont think it's a valet key.
Checked the battery? You may need a scanner to get it out of learning mode since its fairly recent.
Will this work on a 95 camry
I doubt a 95 camry has an immobilizer. Could be wrong though. No immobilizer, no need for the procedure.
@DIYAutoworksNG so today I had an issue where I put my key in, dash lit up fine, but no start. There's a small toggle by the break pedal, my buddy flicked it a few times and car started up fine. But then I drove home, and it didn't start again after checking on it. He said it could be the theft system, that's why I was looking at videos. I'm gonna try this trick mabye it will work
Thank you!! Thank you!!!
You're welcome!
My problem is that the light won’t come on and it dosent activate the panic mode without the fob on my 03 Corolla
Do you know if this works for most cars before 2006 ?
Yes.
Hi! I have a Toyota Corolla 2003. I've tried both the methods but my car won't start. Also am noticing the security light flashing. Usually I insert the anti-theft fob thing in the pointer and car starts. But now it is not recognizing it so the car won't start. Please help!
4 things I suggest you do, and in this order...
1. Rule out a dead battery
2. Confirm if car starts in Neutral. If it does, it's the transmission range switch that needs cleaning/replacement.
3. Try starting while someone taps on the starter motor. If it starts, starter motor is the culprit.
4. If none of the above work try to have the car immobilizer unit scanned. Hit should have a code if its lost memory of your key. In this case, the key would need to be reprogrammed.
If I think of anything else, I'll update. Just to be clear, with the key in the ignition, the security light continues to blink?
@DIYAutoworksNG The battery is good actually because the headliggt are not dim. Yes. with the key in ignition, the security light rapidly flashes, which it has never done before.
I have a Camry 2005 GCC car, ten days ago, suddenly it stopped starting, the engine rotates, but it does not start. I went to the electric mechanic and it turned out that there was a problem with the car key. After 10 days, the car stopped and did not start, the same problem came back, and the red security light was not normal, like the case in the video. When it was examined on the scanner, the code B2795 appeared on it. What should I do in this case????? 💔
Follow the 2nd procedure I talked about in the video for if your car doesn't start. You will leave the ignition on until the security light goes off. If it doesn't go off after 15mins and you followed the procedure correctly, the key will need to be reprogrammed. I hope you don't have a weak car battery?
@@DIYAutoworksNG what you mean reprogram key?
Program the key again to the car. The key record in the immobilizer may have become corrupt.
can someone help me... I bought a rav4 2001 and I want to know whats the point of the security system? What should it do?
Sound the alarm in the event of a break in. If it has a chip key, the immobilizer will also prevent the from starting if hot-wired.
Is the light also a button?
No
Does anyone know how to do this on a MK7 GTI 😢I had a stereo installed and my LED on the left front door is solid (not blinking) ever since
Unfortunately, never scanned or worked on a VW! No leads from online search?
Is it okay? If it was blink after I lock & come out from the car
Yes, it's normal.
I have a 2012 Avenger please help sir😢
For some reason, I've never come across a Toyota Avenger. If you tried the procedures in the video and they don't work, I'm afraid I may not be of much help.
i did this and it works but when i turn the key the car doesnt crank, the starter moves but no crank, even the fuel pump doesnt make noise but all the fuses are good and the fuel pump receives power when the key is in the on position , I even swapped the fuel pump with a spare one and both dont turn on and hum when i switch to the on position, its a 2000 1.4 toyota corolla
Do program reset
Jump pin 4 on top and pin 13 bottom row on OBD2
Ignition has to be on for this might take 35 minutes.
hello sir ! i am having this problem now . i tried to do like videos you make but it does not work. My car is camry 2007 LE, when the key is in , it not show the security light , but it showed when i take off the key.
Your car is working well. Its not supposed to show the security light when your key is in the ignition. Should only blink when you remove the key.
truly a hero
Lol
Does that works for mazda 3 also?
This is a Toyota procedure.
Shop will charge you $400 and mark module and sensor replacements ... So consider paying yourself $400 if this fixed your issue.
🤣 Evil stealerships.
I lost the key for my Toyota camry 2003 and got new one ….after getting new one security light is keep on blinking all the time but my car runs fine. How to erase that security light pls tell
Just rewatch the video
is this going to work for Toyota Revo Gasoline 2004 matic?
Haven't checked on that car specifically, but this works on a lot of Toyota
What about vehicles with push to start?
Can really say
Mine doesnt flash when the key is in the ignition but it wont start either do i have the same issue, i have a 2006 toyota matrix i tried your technique but it didnt work.
Does it crank at all? If there's no crank, it's likely a starter issue you have.
(Sorry for my bad english)
Hi, I have a 2007 Corolla and the security light stills on when I close the car with the remote control, but when I close it with the key, the light flash normally. What can I do? Thank you so much.
Edit: the engine always starts correctly
Does the security light blink when you close the door or it stays steady? If it stays steady, you can just do the procedure I did in the video.
@@DIYAutoworksNG Thanks for answer! When I close the car with the remote control, the light stays steady. But, if I close it whit the key, the light flash. Although when I get in the car and put the key to start it, it turns off and stops blinking, and the engine starts normally
Seems like normal operation. There may be some slight variation in the way the security light works depending on the region the car is made for. I am not sure though, but the fact that it starts blinking when you lock the car with the remote, and goes off with the key in the ignition sounds normal though different from the Matrix in the video and some others which start blinking once the key is out of the ignition.
Hii. Good day! Is it normal that the light flashes when I turn the engine off and lock the car? The car doesn't seem to do this before, or I just didn't noticed. The light stops flashing once I unlock the car. I have a toyota fortuner. Thank you very much!
Sounds normal!
I tried this with my 2013 Toyota Corolla and it won’t work. When my doors are closed and locked the security light stays solid l, as soon as I put my key in or start the car the lights start flashing. Tried doing the off/ on key trick 5 times no luck. Any suggestions?
Have you tried leaving the key in the ignition for about 5 mins without turning on the ignition? Also try doing the on for 6 turns.
Good job
Thanks!
Thank you so much sir
You're welcome!
Works fantastic!!!!
My car is a Toyota Corolla 2013. I did the 5 times on/off ignition with the key and the light security light goes off now when I run my car
Great stuff. Glad yours is off as well!
Hi, My Toyota Corolla 2003
Battery died and it happened but the security light is blinking and the coder blinking what should I do?
Hello. I'm trying to understand your query better. Are you saying the security light is blinking? When does it do this? If it only blinks after you remove the key that is normal. If it blinks with the key in the ignition or while driving, that's abnormal. Which one is it?
