It takes two clicks on the remote to open the other locks. If that is not the problem, you may need a new battery in the remote.

JOhn

 

I tried the two clicks. I also changed the batteries on the remote. Nothing. The lock/unlock button on the door won't work either

 

I think there is something in the user manual:

I have tried using the user manual to program the door unlock function, but it doesn't seem to work. There must be another problem.
Is there a fuse for the drivers side door and a separate one for the rest of the doors. I can't seem to find more than one fuse. But then when you think of it all of the doors lock so the fuse must be ok.

 

there is no way there is a separate fuse for lock and unlock functions, it will be the same

 

You are right. It would not make sense to have different fuses for lock / unlock. And then different fuses also for the drivers door and then the rest of the doors. When I hit the lock/unlock rocker button on my door, or the passenger door the only door that will unlock is the drivers side door. If i 'manually' unlock all of the doors and hit the the lock/unlock rocker all of the doors will lock. But if I hit it again they will not unlock. I have to go to each door and 'manually' unlock them. Is it possible there is some sort of control in the passenger door that ties all of the rear doors to the passenger door? If you double click the key pad it causes the passenger door as well as the rear doors to unlock. If it fails they all fail. I have to get some sort of a schematic for the passenger side door.

 

Have yo tried reseting the lock/unlock feature via the dash LCD display function or is that what you mean by trying tpo reprogram?


One other method is to disconnect the battery for awhile and see if it resets to a default condition??

 

I don't have the multi information tft display. I tried the part in the manual that tells you to shift into P and hold the unlock button for 5 seconds. It did not work. I might try to disconnect the battery after work and see how that goes.

 

Why not just bring it in to dealer as your Venza is still under warranty?

 

I have just made an appointment to go to a dealer this evening. I am a little apprehensive when it comes to going to the dealer. They always seem to find ways to charge you for repairs. I will post what the problem was when they let me know.

 

Went to the dealer. After two hours they told me there was a wire that had come loose from the Security System ECU. They tightened the wire, and everything works fine. No charge for the 'repair'.

 

Glad to hear you got it fixed and thanks for posting the solution. IMHO once you have tried the obvious troubleshooting checks in the owner's manual it is better to let the dealer check it out. If you try to fix something on your own that is covered by the warranty they may accuse you of causing the problem and not cover the cost.

 

Good news Happy for you.

 

Believe it or not the problem is back. Late yesterday i was going out with my son and the passenger doors did not unlock once again.

 

sounds like that ECU wire wiggled loose again...

did they actually show you were it came out at? i'd have them at least show you next time if you go back to the dealer

 

Brought the car to the aftermarket alarm guy and he fixed the problem. It was the after market Prestige alarm (by Audiovox). Now after 2 years the problem is back. I guess I need to go to my alarm guy again.

 

Smart key issues.

I have a 2011 Venza with push start. Sometimes I can't lock or unlock the doors with either the key fob or the finger on the door handle. Sometimes I can start the car and then it'll say "key not detected (it's in my pocket) then drive and the message goes away.Got in the car this am but it wouldn't start (key not detected), put key by button and started. Went to store and locked and unlocked fine and started no problem. I tried new battery in the remote and the dealer has since gotten me a new key. Bringing the car in Tuesday for them to try it for the day. Anyone have any similar problems with theirs?

This seems to be a problem with Toyota Venzas unfortunately. I have a 2009 model and it does the exact same thing described here. I've taken it into the dealer who replaced the battery and gave me a new fob when it was under warranty. Nothing has worked. I now have two fobs that do this. So, I keep a set of batteries on hand and pray this thing does not leave me stranded somewhere.

 

I'm having that same problem. I have had all of the door actuators changed, as this has happened before, but my car is now out of warranty. Any one have an idea on how to fix it?

 

The only way to unlock them is to manually flick the switch that is on that particular door above the door handle.

There is also a lock/unlock toggle switch on the driver's door panel. Try that as well. If there is a loose wire it will not work. If it does there is a problem with your fob. 2 clicks opens the doors. Does the rear hatch button work?

 

rear hatch works fine. both drivers side doors will not lock/unlock with fob or lock/unlock button in car. passengers side rear will unlock, but not lock, but even that is intermittent. sucks to have to use the hard key from the fob every time to open the car.

 

I have the same problem with 2012 Highlander?

I have the same problem with my 2012 Highlander? I'd like to know where the loose wire was?
Thanks,

I found my answer and it started happening since I installed led tail/stop bulbs. With the lights on or your foot on the brake, the bulbs/leds must interfere with the radio signal of the key.

 

My car has same issues and it's not under warranty. Do you know where this wire is located?

 

gmantikas, any update to this problem? My wife's Venza just started doing exactly what you described. No smart key, no TFT display. Suddenly will only open drivers door with remote or button.

 

Venza doorlock issues

Hello guys I am new to this forum


I have a 2011 Venza regular key no TFT screen and experience the same issues with my doors not unlocking only the driver side and trunk works, but will lock all doors it sometimes works sometimes it wont. I checked all my wirings with my aftermarket viper remote start that I installed about a year ago. I started having this problem maybe a month ago when I added the smart start could be a coincidence. Did anybody get their issues resolved that is not in the forums.


I am a Government Certified Automotive Electronic Accessory Technician so please don't tell me that the issues are from my aftermarket product.


Thank you

 

hi did you get it fix? i have the same problem. what is the solution ? thanks
