Not sure what you mean by"Does this car have a key remote FOB" I have to keyless remotes. One is nearly two years old (Toyota replacement Genuine) and the other is original.

The problem only occurred when stationary.

I don't know what the cars does if i'm away from it, i'm not there so i can't witness those events unless it is only when i'm present for example the keyless remote possibly being a cause?????

The 2 back doors aren't used very much, the drivers door is the most used followed by the passenger from door.

I know I have a drivers electric window problem which has been for nearly two years because its too expensive to repair. It conks out going down or up and can take many attempts to get it to work again. It has a sick sound compared to the others. Possibility being a cause? Even thought he locking, indicators flashing and horn thing is only past two or so weeks.

 

You state the system triggers when you do nothing, you approach the car or when the door is closed.

What triggers this, a problem button on the FOB, stuck door switch, etc? Or a random system malfunction in which case your actions do not cause the malfunction, you are just present when it malfunctions. It would have malfunctioned if you were not there.

Hence is it is something you are doing like carrying a FOB with a defective button that triggers something, a stuck door switch, etc.

 

Sorry,

it started when you lock the car after a few moments it would then make a unlock sound, then indicators flash, horn sounds.

It them became more frequent.

It then has started after unlocking, opening the door, getting in, closing the door, then locking me in, and the indicators flash, horn sounds.

It has once or twice during all this just walking up to the car doing nothing, not even locking or unlocking, it would unlock, indicators flash, horn sounds.

Illegally as a temp i've disconnected the horn, because I think it'll be driving the neighbours round the bend.

I did a test, i took the keyless remote that I use, walk to the car, around it, back to the house, not touching the remote, and nothing, quite as a mouse. so i went back, unlocked it, locked it, walked away, and nothing. All normal. So I then went back upstairs, and put that remote away, got the other remote, walked down stairs and straight away from just unlocking it just did the deed. So I think it is the keyless remote. I just need to pop in to Toyota grab a new remote (about $90) and that should hopefully solve it, I'll have to get them to set it up because i had so much trouble trying to do it the last time i replaced a remote. I will try that as a firth thing anyway, its a start, but it sounds as if it is the problem. Its the first car I ever had with keyless entry and the first time i had this sort of problem.

 

You are right I also faced the same problem When I had the 2004 camry. Due to that and after some more problem I buy a new one .

Thanks for posting back with the findings.

 

it turned out the problem was the keyless remote was being the cause, I smashed it and threw it away and no problem since. Never had a keyless remote car before this one so I wasn't aware. I was gonna buy a new remote but they are rather expensive.

 

Is there any universal remote that can be use for that?

 

You can purchase remotes for Toyotas from the dealer or from Ebay. Here is a Youtube link on how to program a new remote yourself.

Now your problem with your remote is not the same as the original posters problems with his locks. You can tell the difference of a problem between the remote and the car computer fairly easily. Just sit in the car and hit the unlock button on the drivers door arm rest. If only the drivers door unlocks, it is a problem with the car computer. If all doors unlock, then try to use your remote control and with the second push of the button all the doors should unlock. If not, you either have a weak battery in your remote Fob or a intermittent remote Fob.

I still actively sell a bypass module to fix the doorlock problem that involves the Computer. I have sold many of them and have excellent feedback on Ebay about my product and how easy it is to install.

 

My 2005 Cambry locks the doors on its own. Since it was new, if the keys are out of the ignition and the trunk is open, it'll lock the doors. Intermittently, not every time. Recently it started locking the doors without the trunk being open. Any body ever heard of that.

 

This is my specific problem. Do you know what the part is that burns out?

Does continuing to use auto-doorlocks after this event have any threat of burning out the individual actuators?

Does anyone know if Toyota issued a recall for this one?
