Replying to: steve326a (Aug 30, 2006 4:54 pm) The universal meaning of FOB is "free on board" and refers to when ownership of purchase goods happens (i.e., FOB factory means that the purchaser "owns" the goods at the factory and takes responsibility for the goods from that point onward). FOB can also mean the remote unit, commonly referred to as a "key fob." This usually means a chain that attaches to a key or a pocket watch.

Replying to: whilst (Sep 15, 2006 6:57 pm) You may wanna check the battery terminals including the clamps that hold the wires on the connectors. They have a history of corrosion. Right now, it may just be passing enough juice to power your locks but that is all. Also have your battery and alternator system checked.   Hope this helps, Steve Replies to this message: whilst (Nov 09, 2006 6:12 pm)

#78 of 92 '06 Ltd - Enable door lock @ 12mph - HELP by henryat1140 Nov 02, 2006 (4:21 pm)
Has anyone with a Limited been able to change the door lock behavior so that the doors don't lock until the veh. speed is 12mph? This is SUPPOSED to be owner programmable.   I've read the manual and tried to change it per the instructions in the manual AND on the Toyota animated guide, but it can't work they way they describe.   In particular they say turn the ignition on and then move the gear selector to drive. Problem is you cannot move the lever UNLESS the engine is started. IOW there is no 'turn the ignition on' in the limited;- nothing happens in the car unless you put your foot on the brake - at that point the green light comes on and the engine starts (normal behavior).   If you start the engine, it APPEARS as though you cannot complete the rest of the procedure. I've tried it more than once.   Is this a glitch (Toyota never imagined the combination of BOTH the smart key and the desire to make the programming change)?   OR am I completely mis reading the procedure?   Anyone else tried or solved this problem?   Thanks in advance,   Henry Replies to this message: jdre86 (Nov 02, 2006 10:48 pm) henryat1140 (Nov 09, 2006 2:07 pm) tomaz (Dec 05, 2006 5:43 pm) and 1 more...

Replying to: henryat1140 (Nov 02, 2006 4:21 pm) Henry, you can move the gear selector out of park without the engine on. First you have to put the ignition in the "on" mode without the engine on. To do this, push the "START" button twice (WITHOUT your foot on the brake pedal). The light on the Engine Start/Stop button will be orange. Then put your foot on the brake pedal and shift out of park.   Pushing the button twice is the same as turning the key to the "on" position but not starting it in a car without the Smart Key System.   Let me know if this helps you.

Replying to: jdre86 (Nov 02, 2006 10:48 pm) Thank you for the response. I'll give that method a try AS SOON AS MY CAR COMES OUT OF THE BODY SHOP ARGHHHHHHHH!!!!!   Just after posing my message unfortunately I was involved in a deer-car collision. Actually, not even my fault. The deer bolted from a hedge into the path of the car in the oncoming lane - he clipped the deer and punted it squarely into my Avalon. There was no time to react - just a brown flash and big thud. Most of the structure below the hood is damaged. I'm waiting for the body shop to assess the damage.   So, like I say as soon as I can I'll try your method. Meanwhile I'm fretting. My car NEVER spent a night out of the garage, and here is is out in the weather.   Grumble Grumble   Henry Replies to this message: tomaz (Dec 05, 2006 5:43 pm) avalonfan1 (Dec 16, 2007 2:33 am)

Replying to: henryat1140 (Nov 09, 2006 2:07 pm) I tried the procedure and still can't get the locks on my 2007 Avalon to program for the 12 mph speed lock. Any other suggestions?   Tom Replies to this message: avalonfan1 (Dec 16, 2007 2:33 am)
