Okay here's is a real ball buster. A buddy of mine bough a LC probably sight unseen for cheap. It has 295k miles on it. It is a 2000 Land Cruiser The issue is the following.
1. No Center console So No view of security light - It does not have center console as it is ripped out. There was different console in the truck likely that replaced the original one. So It only has a bunch of connectors. There is no way to control the AC/Radio/ and most importantly No view of the Security light. So we are blind here not knowing what we have in terms of security light when we put in the key.
2. We have one broken key 3key (4c transponder key) B/c we cannot see security light we do not know if it is a Master key or valet key.
3. I was able to hook up techstream to the LC but I was not able to talk with the immobilizer cpu or other cpu units (engine) to do anything. So does this say anything?
4. They current key is a non transponder key that we have taped the broken transponder key to it.
ADDEDE NEW forgot to mention
5 - Initially was able to get Techstream talking to immobiliser and it got a "B2796 code - "No Communication in Immobiliser system"
I think this is a very tall order.. is there any way we can even remotely try to start this car? Is there a way to reset the ecu to get it working with the existing key that I have. I saw some videos to fully reset the ecu using the 4/13 pin paper clip reset for 30 min. Not sure if resetting the ecu will allow us to do anything. Any help with this matter would he helpful.
Thanks
