Automatic Locks
Hey Ya'll
So I have been baffled with this for quite some time. I have a 2009 base hatchback. I do not have keyless entry (whether it is installed or not is beyond me). When I first bought my Yaris, I would always have to manually lock/unlock my locks - not surprising for a base model haha. One day I started my car just like I would normally, and the driver and passenger doors automatically locked when I shifted out of park (wtf?!?!). I know there are sequences of events that can program locking/unlocking with a key fob, but I don't have one. I thought that maybe I accidentally programmed the car to do this. I played around with different sequences and somehow undid the feature. After that, my doors wouldn't automatically lock for a while. Two days ago, I ran into a similar occurrence. When I started the car, my driver's door locked (not passengers); I did not shift the Yaris out of park. Now I know the first occurrence wasn't a fluke and that there has to be a way to program lock/unlocking without a key fob. Anybody know how? Otherwise I think my car is possessed! |

I also do not have buttons in the car that can automatically lock the doors.

Do you have power locks? Or power windows? I'd think more crossed/stripped wires than anything good.

The 09 Yaris did not have that as a feature of the OEM power locks / keyless entry, so I would bet that your Yaris has an aftermarket keyless entry system installed. Take a look under the dash, below the steering column, for the aftermarket module.

It appears to me that the problem is controlled rather than intermittent, I just don't know how it was induced/started. If it was due to shorted/stripped wires, wouldn't I see it more as an intermittent issue in the beginning rather than it happening consistently all the time like I'm seeing right now? Thanks! I would be surprised if an aftermarket keyless entry system was installed. I bought the car new from the dealer with ~20 miles on it. When I installed foglights a few months back, I didn't come across any wires or assemblies that seemed out of place or any that appeared to be aftermarket. Do you know off-hand if the newer/older models have that as feature? If so, which ones? Thanks! |

I don't believe that any of the Yaris do it. I know for sure that 06-11 do not. You can also pop one of the door panels off to see if aftermarket door lock actuators have been installed.

I know this is for a 2007 and not a 2009, but it says that the door lock feature that I am experiencing is a customization parameter for the 2007 year. I suppose it's possible they kept that feature for the 2009 model. I'm not sure what it's referring to in the first column "Display (Item)." Any thoughts? |

Actually, I'm re-reading the pdf, and it's talking about doors locking/unlocking through the door key cylinder and not through interfacing with starting the motor. I guess I'm still stuck haha

Exactly. I still think you have some aftermarket stuff in there. Dealers sometimes add keyless entry locally to try to increase the value or marketability of a car. Sometimes if the buyer doesn't want it they just don't give them the key fob, rather than removing the whole thing.

I am not aware of a way of doing it, other than by using the Toyota service tool.

I just wish mine would honk the horn when I hit the lock button on my remote.

I have had a dozen cars with remote entry, and this is the only one that does not give you a horn chirp when locking. I'm getting old and I'm too lazy to look back at the car to see if the if the lights blinked to confirm the "lock". |
