Intermittent failure of power locks
My son tells me that his passenger door sometimes fails to lock and/or unlock when he uses either the key fob or the power lock button on the driver's door. He has a 2009 Yaris Sedan that he bought new in March 2009.
Anyone hearing of such problems? Any TSBs out there that anyone knows of? Tom |

this is the second button press where the problem occurs ? or is it programmed to open all on one press ? the computer can be reprogrammed on the unlock sequence from a keyfob, maybe it needs to be reprogrammed. |

probably a mechanical issue in one of the relays. Some times relays will get stuck.

Hitting things with hammers from my experience usually breaks them than more than fixes them.

I called the dealer, and the bumper to bumper warranty is good for 3 yrs/36,000. I'll just tell my son to take it in and let them fix it.
