greenejf Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 I bought a 1997 Toyota 4 Runner without the remote control that activates/deactivtes the anti-theft system (Immobilizer). This wan't a problem because the system wasn't active. However, after major engine repairs, it seems the system has become activated, i.e. the car starts but the engine cuts off after 20-30 seconds. Does anyone know of a solution, e.g. how to get a new control, a schematic of the anti-theft system, or other remedy. Thanks much, James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leighcm Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 If it's a factory installed system, you can get a new remote from any Toyota dealer for about $50-60 and program it to your car. It seems like there was something with those old alarms that you could get in the car, turn the key to accessory and back 5 times, and it would deactivate the alarm and engine kill switch.
