It could be a lot of other things.. I am a girl mechanic. . Don't start laughing yet honey.. Put the key in the drivers door with the window rolled down reach inside and lock all doors.. now turn the key in the door to the unlock position and hold it there for 15 or more seconds.. now turn the key in the door to the lock position for 15 seconds or more. Now open the door and get in.. put your foot on the brake and hold it while you turn the ignition to the on position without starting the vehicle.. now there is a trip/odometer reset button in the dash cluster.. make sure it is set to Trip and not complete vehicle mileage.. turn the key back off when it is set on Trip.. with the key off hold the trip reset button in the dash instrument cluster and turn the key into the on position but do not start the vehicle.. hold for 30 or more seconds (all this time you should have been holding the brake pedal down normally).. now turn the key back off and release the button in the instrument cluster.. note.. do not release the trip reset button until the key is in the off position. All security "engine immobilization" "anti-theft" and even engine maintenance warnings have now been reset. Take the key out of the ignition. The anti theft light in the dash instrument cluster should blink slowly when the key is not in the ignition. Now insert the key back into the ignition and turn it to the on position without starting the vehicle.. wiggle the steering wheel to make sure it is not caught in a bind as this will prevent the key from performing as it should. With the key in the ignition wait 10 minutes and turn it off and leave the key in the ignition In the off position (this is a lightweight ECM/key program.. make sure all keys that will be used with the vehicle are in the area of the driver when all of this is performed.) After waiting 5 minutes with the key In the ignition and the position of the key being off. . Try to start your vehicle. If you get a no crank or no start there is one more thing you can do.. (never remove remove a battery cable with the key in the ignition) under the drivers side dash board, located in the vicinity of the steering column will be a white plug with 16 pin holes in the end of it.. you will need a paper clip or a short piece of wire to do a hard reset of the ECM/ECU/engine immobilization security feature. The white plug has a shape that only allows it to be plugged Into something one way.. it also has also feature on it that locks together with anything you plug into it.. looks like a small hump about a quarter of an inch long in the middle of one long side of the plug.. hold the plug with that hump facing down. . 8 pins across the top and 8 pins across the bottom. In the top row count over 4 pin holes and in the bottom row count over 5 pin holes.. these are the holes that you will place the paperclip or wire into while the Ignition is off. If looking a diagram it's pins 4/13.. now with the paper clip in the top row #4 pinhole and in the bottom row #5 pinhole.. turn the Ignition on for a few minutes (do not hold the paperclip and make sure it doesn't touch metal) after a few minutes turn the Ignition off and remove the paperclip. ECM/ECU and engine immobilizer has now been Hard Reset. If the vehicle still does not start.. make sure your insurance policy Is up to date and roll, drag, push the vehicle into the river lol no I'm just kidding.. maybe ha! Seriously though geez.. OK a door lock actuator may be the problem. Check to make sure all doors lock. If not replace the actuator for that door. Start from the top of this list again and at the end of It if the vehicle still does not start.. try putting the gear shifter into neutral while holding the brakes and try to start the vehicle in neutral.. if it starts in neutral it means you have have a bad neutral switch located near the gear shifter or on/in the transmission. The last thing you want to do is disconnect the battery and let it sit over night.. but if you do that.. you will have to perform all of the above plus.. another set of tricks to reset the TPS (throttle position sensor.). I'm not even gonna go there.. OK OK I will geez lol reconnect battery. Sit in drivers seat. With the key out of the ignition press the gas pedal all the way down and release it. Now insert the key and turn it to the on position with out starting the vehicle. Now leave the key on and very.. very very slowly.. slower! Very slowly press the gas pedal all the way to the floor.. slowly I said dang.. lol :) hold it to the floor for just a few seconds and then slowly.. very.. very.. slowly release the gas pedal.. Slower!!! Slowly.. oh yeah.. that's it.. Mommy likes It like that lol once the gas pedal reaches the top remove your big Ole foot and no turn the ignition off. Wait 5 minutes. The throttle position sensor (TPS) had now been reprogrammed in the ECM/ECU. Try to start the vehicle. If it doesn't start don't ask me what to do.. I'm just a 24 year old girl lol hope it helps someone though.. "p.s. My dad and uncles, brothers are all shade tree mechanics and that's just a little of what they have taught me about vehicles..

@@jennylaws6572 Awesome Sauce Sis!! Saved some money! Now take a fraction of that money and feed a homeless person. Tell the person our story and tell them God loves them too ok :)
This is based on the immobilizer being the problem correct? What if it clicks but the starter does not spin the engine? New battery with 12.6 volts. Now if I jiggle the key and keep trying every once in awhile it will start. Still the starter or maybe the ignition switch. I was thinking starter because if the solenoid click the key is making the circuit and the relay is pulling in. Whatta ya think? NW Bama here.
From what I understand, because the starters location is under the intake manifold, replacing the starter at an auto repair shop costs around $2,000 and up. This is where you bite the bullet and purchase a original Toyota part, you don’t want to keep replacing an aftermarket part every few years. Even if you do the work yourself, it’s a lot of work and very frustrating if you have to keep tearing everything apart every few years. Check some videos on RU-vid, you should be replacing some other parts under the manifold as long as you got it torn apart.
No, it doesn't cost 2000....prob around 500 at most....with the part if you get an honest mechanic....2000 is reserved for timing belt and nonserviceable parts....
Way too much rambling like a woman. Long story short, he / she got it towed to Toyota and It was the starter that was the problem. Saved you the pain of this 6 minute story.
Bro same issue here turns out the fuckn E clip that clips at the steering wheel to the shifter came off. Only reason I noticed is because I tried to put the alarm n it wouldn't lock my doors so I to the housing off n there it was it was popped off so I popped it back on n shifted it to park it started back up
@@amberjohnson6969 I called our warranty service dealer. I got sold a used Toyota with a bad battery. Mechanic came out with his battery pack and it started after the charge. Tried to start it again with no pack and nothing. The mechanic told me to leave it running and drive it to the nearest battery store. I got my new battery with no installation charge.
I have a few things to check for anyone else who still needs help..
