brand new truck won't start!

i remote started the truck this morning and when i went to get in it stayed on ( usually shuts off)....the defrost vents were on full blast....i thought this strange so i turned it off and when i tried to restart... nothing!....lights and blowers come on with " check charging system ".... won't let me control climate system either....truck has 2k miles on it...

 

Check fuses.

 

Is it an aftermarket remote start? To the best of my knowledge, if its faulty you'll have to remove it to get the truck to start since it acts as a go-between with the ignition and the ignition switch

 

now im locked out of it....fml

 

factory remote start....push lock button 3 times and hold 2021 or....

 

You can still unlock the car door with the physical key that's in the starter fob. Push the little tab on the side and it should slide out

 

just checked battery has 12v....

 

got in with hard key and it randomly started

 

Under 2k miles...let warranty deal with it, or at least take it in and have a record of it going in with this issue

 

If it happens again I would take it in

 

This must be a software bug. Happened to me recently on a new 2021.

Same thing, opened door after remote start by grabbing handle and it didn't shutoff (weird), then trying to start would only go into something like accessory mode and off. I think it tripped the immobilizer or something. Both keys behaved the same. Finally got out, locked, unlocked, got in and started normally. The computer apparently needed to get back to the right sequence to be happy.

 

This is likely to be one of those things that the dealer cannot replicate if you take it in for this issue.

 

Remote started mine maybe 20x and it only happened once. Thought I stumbled on a new feature and Toyota listened that others don't kill the engine after remote start, but no this is some factory system glitch.

 

If you have recently added any electrical doodads (even unrelated) definitely go back and check those, after that, I'd take it in.

 

i did replace the stereo and added a sub....but everything is wired correctly and there os good voltage at battery..... just wondering why the check charging system light?

 

To properly check a battery, it is tested under load. Visit a shop or auto parts store, they'll do it.

 

I have a 19 with aftermarket remote start that randomly does the same thing. It's only done it twice in 2 years but each time the engine didn't turn off when I opened the door. It died with the brake and wouldn't restart.

To fix it each time I get out and cycle the door locks and wait a few minutes and starts like normal. It's a glitch so I've just left it be.

 

damn dude..... that's crazy......it wasn't horrible because i was at my house.... would have been a different story if i would have been out somewhere and got locked out or whatever

 

It might be a bug with the Toyota Remote Connect issue with the 2021's. I've remote started about 200-300 times in the last year on my 2020 and no issues so far. I'd take it in if it happens again. They'll have to escalate it and possibly check the logs.

 

Uninstall and reinstall key fob battery...
