I had just been working on my granddaughters car that she just bought .she had given me spare keys and took the main key..car would not start. I called her and she bought me the manufacturer key..started right up...So thank you so much...This video was a huge help...

Thank You Very Much. I lost my original key. Had a new one made. 250 bucks house call. Found the original later and carried it for back up, actually used it to get to the store today no prob. Came out after a 40 minute wait getting my prescription filled. Used the original back up key again and it did nothing. Just cranked. I'm sitting there in 10 degree weather pissed. Called a tow company. 65 bucks for tow. Told him I would try again and call back if needed. Got on you tube 2009 Toyota Corolla cranks but doesn't start. Watched your video and proceeded to use my other key. The one I had made. Bingo...started right up. Don't know why my original key started my car at first and then failed at the store...maybe the temps....but I'm sure glad I came across your video. Thanks for helping people out here. God Bless

Bro... Thank you man! I had switched my keys when I rented a car... I took off my Toyota key (so I wouldn't lose it) and placed it my small utility drawer. But my spare was in there too! When I came back from returning the car rental, I grabbed my key from my drawer not knowing I grabbed the spare! I went and got and Bam! The car turned on. I can't believe I bought a fuel pump and did all of this and didn't check that I had my spare, lol! Well, at least I learned how to change fuel pump AND found like $6 of change under my seat! But Thank you so much !!!

I had same problem today 03-18021 and worked on it all day until I saw your clip. Boom issue cleared. Great!!

I can confirm that this is Legit. I had the same problem and thanks to this video I saved myself about $300 in a mechanic to come and look at the car and saved myself $150 from the dealership to program the key. I called a private locksmith and he charged me only $70 so thank you! Thank you for sharing this information and for saving me some money! God bless you and I can confirm that this is legit. I had a key made without a chip and the car will crank and crank and crank but no run. I went ahead and programmed a key. Car started without an issue! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Thank you for sharing this problem, it’s really saved me a lot of time and headache.

I just watched this video 6/24/2023. I have a 2004 Sienna with three duplicate keys. My son drove it and later it would not start. Same thing, it cranks but wouldn't start. We had it towed home and it's been sitting for about 4 months. I've just exhaustedly watched every video on troubleshooting this crank but no start issue and was hesitatingly ready to embark on a long possible journey to try and solve this through process of elimination. I was ready to start checking every fuse then spark plugs, ignition coils, fuel pump, blah, blah, blah! I had a hunch that the key immobilizer could be a possible problem and basically typed in, " IMMOBILIZER NO START", and saw this video. I quickly went in my spare key drawer and found the other 2 keys and went outside to start it with them and they both started right away!!! The bad key that we originally was using wouldn't start but I tried again the 2 duplicate spares and again they both worked! This video saved me SO much hassles and future frustrations!!! WOW! I'm blown away and ecstatic! I have my car back and never would've known that it was this SIMPLE solution!!!!! BAD KEY IMMOBILIZER!

Thanks! I had the security light issue and just flipped my key around and it was able to start. Thanks again for the video!

This replacement key issue solved our no start condition. Thank you for sharing! Scenario: Son left for basic training and didn't leave keys. Hired a locksmith to create new keys that worked so we could move car. Son returns home later, tried starting for 30 min using original key and it wouldn't work. Watched this video, tried starting with new replacement key and it started no problem. 😁👍

I have a 2014 Toyota Corolla and no security light, but that this was the solution. Thank you

Thank u for posting this I was so confused ....after watching your video I figured out what was wrong with my car. Thanks again

I was having issues with starting my car with aftermarket keys… I’m glad I saw this video before ordering random parts…

That doesn't make sense. The orginal key is lost. I get a new key cut from the dealership. It's programmed to the car. But the orginal key doesn't work?

Had the same problem with a neighbors car. new key and it works. Thank you

Thank you my key was the problem , and because of you explaining the blinking light once the key was inserted I got a new key cut with the correct chip it started rt up every time, thanks

Many thanks for your findings! Sure this is going to help and warn many drivers out there. many thanks for your video.

Thanks for sharing! I’m having exactly the same problem! I just changed the water pump and cleaned the crank sensor too!

Thank you for it saved me a lot of money .I was about to replace fuel pump

!Muchas gracias!! You're a real hero, Brother!!

Just something to try, but turn the ignition to the on position, but not far enough to try and crank the engine on. Leave the key in it like that for about 10 minutes. The system is suppose to be relearning that particular key, which takes a while. And afterwards, it may again recognize the key so that it will start the car again.

In my opinion car would not start with the extra key because it did not match the resistance of the original. You can make a new key with the right resistance sn it will work. No programming needed. The remote is a defferent story. By the way Mister KZfaqr if you have to make a new key for this car as you state in your video you have to reprogram it to the car how would you do that? How do you program a key that does not have buttons or in other words it's not a key fob?

Dude thanks! This was exactly our problem, tried everything and this was the thing that worked!

thank you. much appreciated. glad it’s not my trans

The car came in for a water pump replacement?

Thanks keep up your good works god knows we need it.

Walmart can copy keys with an immobilizer. Just had it done for my 2007 Corolla. Cost about $60. Of course you'll need a functional key for them to copy. Anyway great video.

So, what did you do as far as the other keys, is there a way to get them to work without going to the dealer?

Thank you so much! Fixed my problem on an '05. Original key only one that works...

Just happened to me Locked the steering wheel and try again and it worked

Thanks for the video. It helped me fix my problem.

Thank you for the video very helpful.

Dude thanks man I had the same issue but it wasn’t cranking at all and it turns out I bent the key because I kept pushing it in

Great mate well done mike

Please I have a key that already works.. I bought a spare, it cranks but doesn't start the car. Help

Thank for video Life saving

haha i spent 6 hours trying to figure this out. What do you know! This worked!

I had actually lost my originally key so I bought a a new one so I can have a means to getting to work. The problem I am currently having is car starts 90% of the time but the other 10% it just cranks and it happens in the most random times. I noticed that it starts easily under cooler weather conditions before the sun is out. Do you have any idea what could possibly be the issue?

Wow I had no idea. Thanks.

I have a 98 Lexus Toyota ES300 and the alarm goes off when I put the key in the door to unlock it I don't have the key fob it's just a regular key how can you make this stop happening only way I can is when I get in and put it in the ignition and turn it then it'll stop but how do you get it to stop when you're on the outside of the car and it's alarming alarming any ideas?

Thanks for the helpful video , it saved the day

This may help EXCEPT... i got no crank. Light blinking as in video but it is not cranking either. By the way On another vehicle I had an extra key made. (For another driver) Both keys worked but then the new one was not used for awhile and it stopped working.

Thank you very much man 🙏🙏. This video is gold.

Thank you very much....very usual 😍

What about if your security light doesn't blink before you stick key in to start and you have no start condition?

Thanks a lot it worked

Thanks! Now i think whats was wrong with my corolla

This happens to me only when it's cold the key works just fine during the day but stops working at night when it gets colder

Thank you sir for learning

iam having that problem but not every time but most off the time the fuse keeps blowing >15 fuse to start back up,idk why

Q ? CHK ENGINE light ..'replace # 2 cylinder' ...so Recently replaced coils and spark plugs ..3 months ago. cleared chk engine. then chk engine returned..again code reader indicated change coils NOW at # 3 cylinder; besides take a longer time to warm up. Anyone with similar ......?

Thanks so much

My 2005 corolla dont have the original key but i can start the car and drive it but the light never turn off what can i do???

Thank you for the tip I had lost my original key and they had a copy and want not wanna turn on my car as well so I found my keys and it turned on.👍👍

Thanks so much for the video. So I had a new key made not from Toyota two days ago. The key was working fine for a couple of day. Than yesterday exact the starting issue in your video. So my question is does this only happen intermittently with the newly made key. Was that customer unable to use the key to start the car always or intermittently?

My altis 2006 also cannot start & no blink lights. How to fix it?

Thanks alot it solved my problem

Dude I owe you a huge thank you!

???? WHAT Created the 'No Start'? WAS Working before, yes? Did person Grab Different Key at home to use? Makes No sense to have "Spare" that is Useless. Did Disconnecting Battery have something to do with this?

Thank u !

Cómo fue tuvo que Aser otra llaves

What shall i do. I only have one original key. This security problem gives me a stressfull days already

Will I be able to get my key reprogrammed from ace hardware? or should I go to the toyota dealer?
