Well Im sitting here stuck at work because the supra want crank. It want even try to turn over. Earlier I was messing with the door locks, and tried opening the door. The alarm went off, and I have no wireless key fob. I opened the door inserted the key in the ignition and it went off. Went back to work and now Im trying to leave and the battery is new, all lights are on but it want even turn over. Anybody know what to do fast? Im stuck at work as this is my only means of tranportation home.

Thanks!

k think i can help. Manually un-lock the driver and passenger side doors with the key from the outside. Should deactivate the starter-kill function.

Lock the doors then unlock them They are both unlocked...

Yeah I would do that. I know it sounds simple but that is what I read to do to deactivate the starter kill-switch.

Yep, try that. Close the door, lock it with the key, unlock, then start. If that doesn't work. lock the doors using the lock button on the inside, close them, then unlock again with the key. My old, original supra key ALWAYS sets off the alarm, I had a new key made for the car when I bought it as the original is pretty rough looking... Never had an issue with the new copy...

Man, I tried locking and unlocking both doors, and nothing seems to work... Any other suggestions? Can I just pull a fuse or something?

Did you try either way that I suggested?

I guess if those methods dont work(which they should) then you could always push start it...

I tried both first, I rolled down the windows, locked the DS door with the key then unlock with the key. Tried to start and nothing. Did the same process on the pass side and nothing. Then locked them using the switch and unlocked with the key and still nothing.

Would push starting it work?

Not a thing... Cant push start cause if that doesnt work Im stuck in the hwy with no where to go...

Ok, is there anyway you can push the car around and try push starting in a different direction? If it was a simple, "I set the car alarm off, now car won't start" then the key trick would work. Sounds like your problem may be elsewhere...

Might want to check that the starter plug is plugged in. On mine and my buddy's, it would come off surprisingly frequently. Just stick your arm down there, see if you can feel it still plugged in.

Z'mnypit
05-21-2007, 04:07 PM
Ill check the plug on the starter. If I new it would start and not get stuck in the highway I would be I cant! Thats all ive done is lock the doors, the alarm goes off and now nothing. This sucks majorly. I can lock the door with the key watch the security light come on then then unlock. It goes off then does nothing when i try to spin it over....

Nothing! Battery is good. The windows roll up and down, and lights come on and all...

It's gotta be in the factory alarm, check and see if there is a thread on here on how to bypass it.

Roll your windows up. Shut the doors. Go to the passenger door. Using your key in the door lock, twist the key to lock the doors twice. Now wait for 20-30 seconds. Now unlock the passenger door twice but do not open it. Now go to the drv door. Unlock it, get in and try to start it.

No go... Same results... If I unhook the PCM and plug everything back in would that help? Maybe like reseting it or something?

Forgot to mention... Make sure your hood and your hatch are closed before you try to reset the alarm using the procedure I gave you.

It was... I locked the pass door, then turned the key in the same direction again. Waited 1min, unlocked the pass door, turned the key in the unlock direction a 2nd time then unlocked the drivers side door. Then tried to start. Nothing!

Took the pink wire off the hood latch and jumped it with the white/black wire and tried to start and nothing..

Removed the ECU, reinstalled the ECU and tried to start and nothing. I honestly have no clue what the hell is going on with this car....

The Anti-Theft system has it's own computer so that wouldn't help you.

Okay. If you can not work on it where it is then get it home by either push start, jumper the starter or flatbed. Then...

Start here:
http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?Section=BE&Page=85

Read the entire section (pages BE85 to BE102) then use the flow charts and diagnostic trees to track down your problem, assuming this is an alarm issue and everything else is okay. Let us know

I'm sticking by the statement saying that if the problem is actually in your antitheft system, then a push start WILL start the car! Get the damn thing started by pushing start, and go straight home, if you need to stop for gas, don't turn it off!

Z'mnypit
05-22-2007, 09:41 AM
LOL, Thanks guys. Ill try to push start later. Ive got shaeff's directions on getting rid of the theft system. Im going to give that a shot first.

But first Im going to try the radio fuse. Read 86-88's would disarm the system by removing the radio fuse..

Got rid of the theft system by grounding the blue/orange wire on the theft ecu harness and it turns over now. Thank the lord! Dont know what I'd do if I never found this forum. Thanks!

So, was it a grounding issue or what? I'm not sure exactly what you did or if that wire's suppost to be grounded in stock form...
