Inspection Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Toyota Corolla. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. EMERGENCY ENGINE START CONTROL 
    1. If there is a malfunction in the stop light switch or STOP fuse, their signals may not be correctly transmitted to the main body ECU (instrument panel junction block). This may result in the engine not starting even if the engine switch is pressed while the brake pedal is depressed and the shift lever is in P.

      To activate the starter:

      1. Turn the engine switch from off to on (ACC).
      2. Hold pressing and hold the engine switch for 15 seconds.

    HINT: 

    After the main body ECU (instrument panel junction block), certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly), steering lock ECU, ID code box (immobilizer code ECU) and/or ECM are/is replaced, perform the registration procedures for the engine immobilizer system. Refer to REGISTRATION .
