Frustrated Due To Damaged Immobilizer/brainbox by olalarry2000: 11:25am On Jan 26, 2023 |
My 2008 toyota camry immobilizer was diagnosed damaged when my car wouldn't start. I was advised to do a bypass by converting my brainbox to freecode. It actually worked. The car began to start but whenever it's hot, it will be misbehaving. It won't run slow in traffic and will eventually trigger off by itself. if I remove the key, it will not start again until i leave the ignition on, remove the cap of the brainbox and slot it back, then crank it to start again. Very frustrating. I have changed brain box 2times now and Its still same. I have a feeling its more than the brainbox. Gurus in d house, kindly advise pls. 7 Likes 1 Share |

olalarry2000:By passing 2008 Toyota Camry is a mistake,find a good Technician to return back to factory settings and solve the problem. It might involves, immobilizer located close to evaporator (the dashboard needs to be removed)Key ring on the key cylinder and the the chip inside your key.Does your key blink when this problem occur? 21 Likes 1 Share |

There is nothing wrong with doing an immo off , the problem is u have not actually solved the main problem that caused the immobilizer to be damaged and that is what is causing the ecu to malfunction. It might be a wiring issue or partial contact issue or a bad module, u need to scan the car at the point of failure and post the codes 12 Likes 1 Share |

Since you have converted the brainbox tell your technician to disconnect the immobilizer ecu itself from its socket. If they don't u will keep having issues. 5 Likes |

See, just buy fairly used brainbox, with the key and the transponder also the bcm, then look for a good electrician to check the wire harness for any alternation. And your car will be on the road again. 1 Like |

kingbee90: I doubt if uve ever driven any. If u knw what he's talking abt, u won't talk like this. I suffered from my Nissan Almera. I did all the possibilities nt until the brain box was changed thrice to a codeless one before a perfect match cld be got. Just carry the car to Ladipo, kip testrunning diff brain boxes until a suitable one is found or better still, get another coded one, cut a new key and reprogram, dnt reprogram with the former key. Though either ways, it wld still reoccur later mayb after some yrs. My best advice is to keep searching for perfect codeless one. |
