Hi guys! Just wanna ask n share some experience on my vios 05.
Remember few month bck around March, after like normal day driving to office, after finnish work when i plan to go home, i was unable to start my car, i was shock, coz everythings seems ok, fuel still half tank, no warning light appears on my meter panel prev. So i call up my foreman, he cm n chk, he also hv no idea about it, so he just reset the ecu by unplug the batt connector for 5 mins, then everythings works fine bck, he got mention mayb my batt quite old dy need to be replaced, so on tat day itself i straight away go change it and i assume tat is the batt problem.
So here comes today after for 3-4 month, this problems occurs again, i was unable to start my car, i try did wat the prev foreman do and everythings works fine bck.
I really curious about tis matter, does anybody face tis kind of problem...?? Or do u guys hv any solution or ideas to share about it.....

Hello blueworm, I am assuming you are trying to start your car with gear mode = P (park). This is a very common problem for Toyota VIOS 05/06 model. This was what happened to me, I need to push the gearbox from the P position and makes sure it touches the top of the gear. You got what I mean? Just makes sure the gear is in P mode and push it abit up (12 o'clock). There is a connection between the gearbox and the immobilizer, when we try to start our car, sometimes we are not able to because of this problem.

It's not recommended to reset your car settings by plugging out the battery connector. Highly not recommended! Try the way I told... and see if it works.

Why want to worry on ECU settings? As far as I know, newer Toyota ECU do have the abilities to learn.....

No need, just unplug the fuse to the ECU are good enough.....
