Okay, that controller is for the doors and locks. The trunk works off the body control module.

I attached the location for you. Left side in the front under the dash.

All right thank you Roy. Now that I have a multi meter should I check to see it gives 12 volts or not? So that way I can replace the BCM?

Thank you once again. I noticed that the BCM has many fuses connected to it. Which one specifically I should take out to find to test the trunk voltage?

Not a fuse, the wire to the trunk release.

Hi Roy. I’m currently shopping online to get an Autel can scan but I don’t know which one to get. Can you give me an opinion on this one?

No, not good enough. You need one that will read the Body control module.

That one will cost you $500.00 to $1,000.00.

Good morning Roy. I found this one online.
Is this a good one to purchase to check the BCM?

Yes, that looks good as it accesses the body system.

Yes, I would. You need one that will read live data from the BCM.

Hey Roy. Sorry for not updating you. Turns out that the scanner I bought doesn’t have it the BCM feature so I called their number and they mention that I need to take it to the dealership. Since Toyota has their own scanner that reads BCM data.

No, you do not need a dealer. Anyone with an advanced scanner can access the body control module.

They will also be substantially cheaper than a dealer.
