Hello, I purchased this car about 2 months ago. The problem is the original remote key fob which I only have one, worked okay for about a month then it started working sometimes then not at all. I checked the battery, it read 3.6v okay, next I bought a new remote key fob online with matching numbers on the old one, when I put the car in program mode and followed program instructions the door locks cycle (lock/unlock 2 times) it did not pair. So, I changed the door control receiver module which I got the same results not pairing what could the problem?
Question 2.
if I install a Car Security System Alarm with Keyless Entry, will the new system Keyless Entry use its own signal to lock and unlock doors, or does it use signal from the Toyota system?

Hi,

There was a technical service bulletin that indicates two of the steps need to be reversed on the Avalon.

I've attached the most updated TSB that I could find. Take a look through it and let me know if it helps.

Take care,

Joe

Hi,

No problem whatsoever, and you are very welcome. Has the problem been resolved? I'm interested in knowing if that took care of the issue.

Hello Joe, we have returned the new key fobs and decided to install a Car Security System Alarm with Keyless Entry and bypass the Toyota Keyless Entry system hoping this will solve the problem. Do you have a car alarm-wiring-diagram for the Avalon?

Hi,

Yep, I have them. Please sit down before reviewing the schematics. LOL

The first 2 pics are for the anti-theft immobilizer and pics 3 and 4 are the forced entry schematics.

Let me know what I can do to help.
