2017 4x4 6MT

I’m pretty sure it flashes when the transponder isn’t present then goes solid when it is

if the key isn’t communicating with the immobilizer everything will work but the truck will crank endlessly and not start

Usually that’s not something that just happens unless something changed

 

Scan tool shows zero codes

 

thats what it is doing. Should this throw a code though?

 

I know you said its stock when someone asked for aftermarket alarm . Does it have the factory installed alarm ? If it does, there may be something wrong with it or maybe hopefully not, rodents chewing some wires. Dealer time maybe

 

Yes it has the factory Toyota security system.

 

Do you have to press on the clutch for it to start? Just wondering. Its been more than 30 years since I last have a manual

 

yes you do. Or you can press the clutch start cancel button and start it without the clutch. I’ve tried both no luck

 

Wow. Hope it gets fixed soon. Please update with a fix.

 

There doesn’t happen to be a fuel rest button like on the old Ford’s does there ?

 

have you ruled out battery? Jump in with another car just to make sure, if its a 2017 with original battery i might still be bad or have a bad cell. Just cause the alarm, lights, dash come on, doesn't mean it has the capacity to crank

 

Worse case, its a manual, find a big fucking hill and bump start that mother fucker.

 

I’ve jumped it and it still has the same issue. I thought about trying to bump start it but I’m thinking that’s unlikely it cranks over very strong just won’t fire.

 

If you can hear the fuel pump turn on, then maybe you have a bad crank position sensor. Some 2016 and 2017s had issues with them.

 

Next thing I would do is pull negative battery terminal, let the ECU/ system alarm reset itself. Maybe it got tripped up and locked itself out.

 

I dont believe the 2017 6mt were part of it, or as least mine wasn't---but still a possibility

 

I left the battery unhooked for about an hour no change. I thought about the crank sensor but thought that would throw a code.

 

Tried a different key? DO you have a spare?

 

yes I have two keys. Both crank no fire

 

Cranking with no fire sounds to me like a fuel delivery issue then.

 

Would I have a code for the bad crank sensor? Or since it won’t even start and I can only scan it in the run position would there be no code ?
