Slight update, both the lock and unlock button are simply interment, though unlock seems a little more reliable (if you call the current status reliable). I may just need to take it into a shop. Doesn’t appear to be something I can diagnose without time and possibly a computer, and I have neither.

Tried searching the forum so apologies if this specifically has been addressed (feel free to redirect me). it looks like the keyless entry stopped working, and it’s both keys so definitely not a battery issue. Yesterday morning it was working like normal. But yesterday afternoon neither the...

Did you try an ac recharge?

Unfortunately, the fix may have been a very weird coincidence. Similar issue today, though slightly different (display was blurry black boxes, fading at the top, but buttons and radio seemed to work). I tried pushing on the screen again and banging above the hazard button. Neither worked...

Update: Happened again. There were weird characters on the screen and most of the buttons didn’t work. At least this time I could switch between aux and radio. Fix: I pushed slightly on the screen and it fixed the problem… at least for now. the fix doesn’t make sense to me, but there it is...

Having the same problem. Seems to be a common one but no solutions. Even found a video with a good example of the problem. (But not how to fix it) some suggestions that if you hit on top of the radio, just above the hazard button, or push slightly on the display, it seems to solve the problem...

Thanks for posting this thread OP! mom droving a 2010 base model and just now hitting 100k miles, so trying to figure out what needs to be done. I’m interested in why some people are saying not to do a tranny flush while others are recommending it. Where does that discrepancy come from? Is it...

Update: Solved! gedster, thanks again for your input, and steering me away from the (incorrect) PCM conclusion. i took it to Toyota and after a full day of investigating, the determined the steering sensor went bad. They also said it looked like the spiral cable assembly was chewed on and will...

thanks again. I’ve read more and talked to some other people. It’s so uncommon for the pcm to go up that I’m thinking if it is actually bad it has to be the result of something else, and thinking just putting in a new one would fail soon anyway. I cleaned up the terminals this weekend and got...

thanks. I will definitely clean up the battery tomorrow or this weekend when I get a chance. If that doesn’t clear it up I’ll inspect the cables then look into a new battery. Auto zone should be able to test it for me to make sure. I’ll report back if I’m still having issues, before I move ahead...

This is very helpful and thanks for the quick reply. there is a good bit of corrosion on the battery. The mechanic suggested pouring some coke on it to clean it up. I asked about replacing the battery and he said the battery was still good and holding a charge fine (especially considering the...

I have a 2010 carolla with just shy of 100k miles. yesterday afternoon My dashboard greeted me with a flurry of activity. The ABS, Brake, airbag, and power steering lights were all on. Also, the RPM gauge and speedometer we unresponsive and stayed at zero. Finally the left side dash display...
