Just picked up a 2006 and the current ECU programming has the auto lock/auto unlock function turned on and is set to lock all 5 locks (4 doors and the rear hatch) when the shifter is moved out of the P position. Also, when the driver moves the shifter back into the P position the car auto unlocks all 5 locks.
I simply want to turn this function(s) off and have searched the mud posts and read where other users have tried several times but usually are usually successful in the end. Personally thus far I have not been successful at following the instruction in the owners manual.
The following is verbatim from the owners manual for a 2006 Land Cruiser:
"You can set or cancel the automatic door locking functions: Be sure to apply the parking brake when performing the following operations. To select the locking linked with the shift position:
1. Close all doors and turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position.
2. Shift the selector lever to the “P” position.
3. Within 10 seconds of turning the ignition switch to the “ON” position, press and hold the driver’s side power door lock switch in the lock position for 5 seconds and then release. The doors will be locked and unlocked to indicate that the function is set.
To cancel the function, do the above operation again."
"You can set or cancel the automatic unlocking functions: Be sure to apply the parking brake when performing the following operations. To select the unlocking linked with the ignition switch:
1. Close all doors and turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position.
2. Shift the selector lever from “P” to the “N” position.
3. Within 10 seconds of turning the ignition switch to the “ON” position, press and hold the driver’s side power door lock switch in the unlock position for 5 seconds and then release. The doors will be locked and unlocked to indicate that the function is set."
To cancel the function, do the above operation again."
I understand the dealer can access the OBDII and use techstream to program these functions but I am trying to avoid the stealership as much as possible. Anybody want to take a stab at what I may be doing wrong? The verbage in the instructions leaves a few important factors up the imagination of the user and really I can follow instrutions but need some clarity.
