I have a 2007 Camry. I came out and found the battery had died. Looked like I had left the lights on but I'm not sure. In any case, I replaced the battery and still won't start. The car has a push button starter; the light goes from amber to green when I press the brake pedal but still won't start. The dealer said to replace the remote battery-still doesn't work. The remote does nothing-doors won't lock or unlock. Lights do turn on and the GPS system screen lights. Battery light and engine service lights on. Car is otherwise dead!

You sure its not coming from the security system? SES On

Have the computer scanned for code/s-you have a problem within the engine management system that caused the CEL to turn on-This is your starting point of diagnosis,finding out what's going on.
