Electronic key not working / car not starting
Hello there,
New to these parts / and also DIY car maintainence so really hoping for some inspiration / help if that is ok! I went to open my Yaris yesterday and the electronic key was dead. I opened it manually but when I went to turn over the ignition there was nothing. Tried lights - nothing. I am thinking initially that it may be the battery - but then wondered if some connection between key not working and the car not turning over at all. Could this be that I need to reset key or electrics? Id appreciate any help you can offer - Id love to be able to try a few things out before having to try getting it to garage. Thanks in advance, Jo |

Most probably a dead battery.
You can hold your FOB in front of the start button.. i think the light will flash and you will be able to start your car. |

With the engine immobilizer the starter will still crank, even when the transponder key is not recognized, so it does sound like a dead battery.

Cheers!
Hoping to get a jump start to get me to the garage or find a cheap battery charger to get me out the blocks so I can go get it fixed. Thanks |
