New starter installed and it started to start without the key in the start position

Does the starter wire not need to be hooked up again?

No, that is just to the solenoid. The issue is you have no power to that wire with the key in the start position.

Roy

What is this and it it suppose to have power?

Looks like it plugs into the connector next to it.

Roy

Can I use a obd scanner on my car if I had a adapter? And if they even make them.

Snap on makes a scanner that does obd 1 and obd 2. it has the Toyota connector you need as well. the only thing is, it will not read starter signal.

Roy

Okay, did you receive my picture? It is on the fire .

Well, what is next boss?

did you plug the connector in??

did you do the tests I suggested a while ago looking for power to the solenoid wire???

Roy

Yes I did and there was no power.

Okay, thanks.

Did you remove that connector when you removed the upper manifold??

Let me check the wiring diagram.

does the reverse lights work when you put it in reverse??

Roy

I cannot remember, which connection are you talking about.

The picture you sent me with the open connector.

Roy

No, pretty sure I did not.

But I cannot say anything because I am not one hundred percent. why is it important?

Can you recheck that connector? I am very curious about that. it looks like it needs to be connected somewhere.

Roy

I got one picture. and it looks like they are both female connectors. that means there are two connectors that go in there from the upper intake you have off.

Roy

I pulled them apart.

what did they hook up to?

I just connected them.

The closet one to the fire wall is female.

Each other.

ok, check for power to the starter wire now.

Will it be power in the on position or the crank position?

crank position only.

Roy

No, I just checked the fuse box and there is no power in the starter when cranked over.

did you check the wire out at the starter solenoid??

I am so discussed and I am pretty sure that you are to, is it in the ignition somewhere if so how do I check that?

I know. you are doing good.

the little wire that goes on the solenoid is what I want you to check. that needs voltage with the key in start position so the solenoid will engage.

Roy

I have these Lexus keys but there not my master key i lost it somewhere, and I thought maybe the alarm system might have something to do with it.

yes it would. did the car start with those keys before?

Roy

That question you asked me about my back up lights they are on?

Okay.

I just got them about three week's ago, and I do not think so.

Because I was using my Master key up till my starter went out

they have to be programmed in order to work.

Roy

How do I do that?

procedure below

Set initial conditions:

- Key out of ignition

- Driver's door open and unlocked

- All other doors closed and locked

Registration Procedure:

NOTE: Perform all steps with no more than a five second interval between steps.

1. Insert key into ignition for 1 second and remove.

2. Cycle (lock and unlock = 1 cycle) the driver's interior power door lock switch 5 times (1 second in each position).

3. Close and reopen driver's door.

4. Cycle the driver's interior power door lock switch 5 times (1 second in each position).

5. Insert key into ignition and cycle the ignition on and off:

- One time to add a new code.

- Two times to add a new code and erase all previously stored codes.

- Three times to check how many codes are currently registered.

6. Remove key from ignition. Receiver should respond by cycling the door locks a corresponding number of times:

- One time to add a new code.

- Two times to add a new code and erase all previously stored codes.

- One to four times (slowly) to indicate how many codes are registered (end).

NOTE: If no response is given, start over at the beginning of this procedure.

7. Press the transmitter button (any button on fob type transmitters) for 1 second.

NOTE: Receiver should respond by cycling door locks once. If no response is given, start over at the beginning of this procedure.

8. Close and reopen driver's door.

9. Press the transmitter button for 1 second. Receiver should respond by cycling door locks:

- One time to confirm operation is complete.

- Two times to signal that the code is already registered.

How can I be sure that the key is the only problem before I go ahead and put it back together again?

Hey, it is me again. I still have not gotten my car started. Can you please tell me what this is?
