If I recall correctly there are two separate sequences for key programming: i) programming the door locks; and ii) programming the starting. I'm not at a fast connection right now but if you search the FAQ there is an immobilizer sequence, from memory: sit in the driver's seat with all doors...
Yes. I have an 05LC and ran into this problem. The function to unlock is separate from running the vehicle. I purchase new keys from Remoteremotes and was able to program without issues. It is my opinion that the transponder to talk with the immobilizer was broken.
As a 2005 owner I'm biased. I bought mine at 155k mi and it has been relatively trouble free. I recently had the TB and WP replaced (now 180k). My biggest like of the 05 vs the 07 is the lack of TPMS. I was recently helping a friend troubleshoot the TPMS as one of the sensors quit sending, it...
I had a Tacoma where the PO was a smoker and the smell would linger. One day I decided to pull the ash tray and soak it in soapy water. The solution turned black. It may be something to look at if you haven't already.
@desert80 Great idea. I have the same U on the doner LC100 let and was considering the ways to keep it from sliding. However, I've been less than successful in the programming department. I got the locks to work but the starting part is a no-go.
I'm having a problem with this on y '05 LC. New key cut, and it will unlock door, turn ignition, etc. The ECU will take the fob programming for the remote unlock/lock/panic buttons but, it will not take for turning the motor. After trying the master reprogramming multiple times I'm confident the...
This is great! When I fist bought my LC I heard the whistle and it irritated me the +100 mile drive home. I've since added some attachments to the factory roof rack (awning and top case) and have not heard the noise. But, now that I know it is the air flowing over the crossbars I'll remember the...
Just to follow this... If O2 sensors are anything like thermal couples I've worked with in the past, you don't want to splice conductors. The computer expects ohms or volts to be within a specified range. Any deviation and the computer will read incorrectly and report errors.
Edit: tl;dr see if...
