Anyone had this problem before?
We have a 2008 200 series sahara turbo diesel. 2 months ago it would not start. the remote key would open door but the start stop switch would not recognise the key. Thought flat battery and tried to jump start but nothing. 2 hours later it started fine.
The next day it stopped again so I put a new battery in the key remote. We had NRMA come out and check batteries and thought the relay. After some time it started again. 0ne week later it did it again
We then had it towed to local toyota dealer who replaced the relay and wanted to replace the batteries. We advised they were tested and still under warranty. They had battery supplier out to replace and they tested and advised all ok. It then started working fine but 4 weeks later the problem has come back.
Have tried new battery on the spare key fob and same problem.
Have it towed again to toyota who apparently checked fuses, relay and battery but it worked fine for them.
Several weeks later, it has done it again and stuck on driveway. Next day it started fine but now today it wont start again and car is stuck at a friends house.
I have tried both keys and both appear to have the problem.
The remote buttons unlock the car every time.
Went to auto electrician also who advised I would need to go to toyota as he did not have specialised scanning equipment.
Thanks in advance.
