Do later 3rd Generations have the key immobilizer?

I bought mine new in '00 and don't recall the key immobilzer being any type of option then (it possibly was on the Limited or Lexus then) but I'd find it really hard to believe for a 97. It could be something with the lock electronics though. I rarely ever use the key, but if you do insert it into the lock, you can control "all doors locked" or "all doors unlocked" (like the keyless) but turning & holding the key to the left or right for a few secs. So the key might be physically cut or worn, but it also might be some sort of short with electronic portion of the lock you could look at.
