2001 TOYOTA PRIUS IGNITION SWITCH

Electrical problem
2001 Toyota Prius 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

The ignition switch on my Classic Toyota Prius went bad and had to be replaced. I took my car to a dealership who wants to replace the ECU (immobilizer) along with my ignition switch, thus needing a new set of keys and having to have two keys--one for the ignition and the old one for the locks.

Is that the best way to go about it? Could they just replace the ignition switch, cut a key blank to match my old key, and re-pin the tumbler for the ignition? I know that I am not out of master keys to be reprogramed to the ECU

Hi prsnow,

Thank you for the donation.

If the ignition switch is bad, replacing it would do, why does the dealership want you to replace the lock as well?
