Hello everyone,
So I'm not sure why I didn't realize this all last winter, or it is a possibility that it was not working correctly then, but it's finally cold weather where I live again, requiring a short warm-up before I leave for work. Started the runner to let it heat up. Came back outside, and I was locked out. LOL Now, on all my bmw's, and VW's I've owned over the years you can change codings with a scan tool to turn on/off features like this, and even my old Jeeps were smart enough to not lock the doors running in park, unless you physically hit the switch, or put it in drive.

So my question is, does the Toyota dealer have the ability to turn off that feature with the factory scan tool, or do I have something in the ignition switch, or whatever module(s) controls the locking functions failing?

Also, it's a '97 limited W/ E-locker. It could have remote entry, but the previous owner only gave me 1 key, and no remotes.... so I'm not sure, but there is a little raised "button" with two small metal circles on it in the center console that says "security" on it as well. (Just trying to give you guys all the details.) Any info is greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!!
