Thanks a million CTScoot!
Had to go through the procedure a couple of times until i realized that the door had to stay open between some of the steps

Hi,

I just bought a 2007 Toyota Yaris liftback...

I have a remote car starter but the lock/unlock function doesn't work. It makes the lights flash but it doesn't unlock the doors.

I have tried to reprogram it by following CTScott's post, but the doors dont lock/unlock at the end of the procedure.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Kim

Do you have a separate remote for the remote starter and the genuine Toyota keyless entry remote?

I have only one remote and it's not a genuine Toyota keyless entry remote (FCC ID : EZSNAH1501).

Do you think they could have only installed the remote car starter and "forgot" or purposely decided not to install the lock/unlock feature? Cuz when I press on that button it makes the car lights flash instead of locking/unlocking the doors.

First off, if it is not a genuine Toyota remote, the procedure above would never work.

It is very possible/likely that they did not hook up the lock/unlock. Does your car have power locks?

OK. In that case I would pop open the cover under the steering wheel and see if you can find the module for the remote starter to see what is and is not connected to it.

Does this look like a remote car starter module?

That is definitely it. Now you need to find the make and read the model number off it, then you can find the manual for it and see what wires are for the lock/unlock.

kimouette · 04-19-2015, 10:32 AM

I cant find the brand name on the module.
Here's a photo of what I see :

Unfortunately with these information I cant find any manual!

This may help and here is a recall on that model.

It is definitely an AutoStart brand one, bu the OB-2481 model number does not seem to be a current one. You could try calling them to see if they can give you any info on it:

Ok so I found the wiring plan : http://autostart.ca/asdocs/2W_FM_LED..._en_h50s44.pdf

Which confirms the lock/unlock is simply not wired. Who would do that?? I mean break his back wiring a remote start and stop for a coffee and say "hmm lets call it a day".

Would you recommend a newbie like me to buy the wires and plug them in? Or should I leave that to a professional and pay the price?
