There are three door lock programs you can choose for ur camry. The one you are using is lock once leaving the park and does nothing when shift back to park. Check you owner's handbook and it will teach you how you can reprogram it

 

yeah the manual should have it. btw, i didn't want it to unlock when i shift it into park. what if someone tries to run up on my car! >_<

 

WTF, they could prolly run faster then rollin on ur car, they would need 2 push it.

 

ARGH THE FAT JOKES! wish i had a 2000 lb car with the 1MZ-FE engine

 

I have a 2005 Camry Se V6 and when i shift the car into Drive the doors automatically lock but when i shift it into park the doors do not unlock automatically. I know that the 2005 Camry Le opens automatically when shifted into park

Where did you hear that from? Gen 5 - 5.5 camrys don't automatically unlock whenever you put the car into Park. I know this because I have both Gen 5 and Gen 5.5 camrys, and yes, they're both LEs and they don't unlock by themselves. But like they say, it could be the program your computer is set in. But most of the them don't unlock themselves. My $0.02

 

^ they don't automatically unlock when you shift into park unless you SET THE KEYLESS ENTRY that way.

Keyless Entry has three settings. I believe the factory setting only locks when you shift into drive. nothing more.

 

Mode 1:Automatic locking linked with the shift position.
All doors locked when moved out of P. With ignition On and doors closed

Mode 2:Functions Canceled
Automatic functions do not activate

Mode 3:Automatic locking and unlocking linked with shift position
All doors locked when moved out of P. With ignition On and doors closed
All doors unlocked when moved to the P. With ignition switch ON

Mode 4:Automatic locking and unlocking linked with shift position and ignotion switch
All doors locked when moved out of P. With ignition On and doors closed
All doors unlock when the key is turned from ON to ACC or Lock

on my 2000 camry, it automatically unlocks when you pull out the key.
not when it is in P.
try that and see.

 

Nice info Chevelle. I didn't know the prgm info was in the owner's manual. FYI, my dad's '02 doesn't unlock when in "P". In for l8tr

 

what does that mean "Push the power door lock on the rear side to unlock the doors"

 

On the drivers side the door lock switch, if you push the rear part it unlocks the doors the forward part locks them. Easy to do hard to explain. I quoted the manual.

 

Still not working according to a mechaninc at a Toyota Dealership it has to be set with teh computer

Necromonging!


Anyone figure this out?


Working on my Camry 2005 LE over here. Tried the above steps...does not work. Tell me I don't have to take it to the dealer!

 

Solved.

Listed directions work and confirmed word for word from my manual.- Thanks Chevelle


The key is to pay attention to door ajar light in the dash. Like an idiot I thought I should pay attention to the dome light for some odd reason.
-To clarify and answer what Corolla_Dude was asking.. it just means you unlock the doors, then push to lock all the doors after turning the key to "On". Then keep your eyes on the door ajar light in the dash...will flash the number of times the mode the car is in.
