Driver Side Door Entry Lock Function does not Operate: Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Toyota 4Runner. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
If the driver side door entry lock function does not operate but the entry unlock function operates, the communication between the vehicle and electrical key transmitter is normal. The malfunctioning part may be an entry lock sensor circuit (front door outside handle assembly [for driver side] → certification ECU).
