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.....

QUOTE(guanteik @ Jun 12 2011, 09:35 PM) 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. Added on June 12, 2011, 9:37 pmHope this helps, please try it and inform us the outcome. Yes, i always in P mode, but i nvr notice and knwon about tis method. But hw come after i unplug the batt connecter(means reset ecu) then everythings works fine bck..??

QUOTE(guanteik @ Jun 12 2011, 09:52 PM) 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. [attachmentid=2269921] Yes, i knw is not good to reset the ecu, but at tat moment, i just need try ways to start up my car, if not it gonna spend me $$ to call sum1 come. Tats y after today incident, i looking for ideas n solution for my cars by posting at forums. Anyway, i m glad to hear from ur experience, tis is the 2nd time i face the problem for many months bck, hopefully it won't happen again, if yes i'll try ur method..... Very thanks......

QUOTE(kyheng @ Jun 12 2011, 10:12 PM) Why want to worry on ECU settings? As far as I know, newer Toyota ECU do have the abilities to learn..... So wat u mean is safe to reset the ECU setting by unplug the batt connector...??
