Let me first introduce myself. After several different cars (Audi, BMW, Renault, Alfa and Saab) i just purchase my first Toyota. it's a 2004 Prius Gen 2, Silver, and as far as I can see its a non SKS version. I bought the car with first of all knowing about the 299.999km problem, and this issue is going to be solved soon. Other issue is something that is keeping me busy for the last 2 days. After purchasing the car, I notice that my keyfob didn't loch the car. But soon after doing some research I found out that you could program it your self. Having NON SKS in my car (at least, that is what I think), i did the non SKS version of programming. VErystep works great after the lock and unlocking of the car twice. After that I need to press both lock and unlock button , and then press the lock only. But nothing happens. Door does not react at all. Red light flashes but thats all. If I try the SKS version, nothing happens again. After several attempts I had enough of it s I locked the car using the metal key to go home. But then I notice that only the driver door is locked. Rest of the doors stay unlock. No idea if both issues are related. Wonder if anybody can give me a push in the right direction
No, the issues are not related, that is how it works. If you want all doors locked, you need to lock them with the lock button on the armrest. You then lock the driver's door with the metal key.
Thanks dolj...Good to know that this is the way it should work. Now figure out why i am not able to program none of my keys (have 2 of them).
If you turn the metal key to lock twice, all the doors will lock. Or to unlock for a passenger turn twice to the unlock direction.
In some markets I've heard that the locks can programmed to do that when you press the lock (or unlock) fob button once it locks (or unlocks) only the driver's door, and when you press the lock (or unlock) button on the fob twice in quick succession it locks (or unlocks) all doors. I've never heard of it behaving this way when the metal key is used, but maybe that's because I've never heard of that as a feature. Presumably, you are confirming that it works this way in the NA market. In the UK, if you press the lock button on the fob twice, it double locks the doors. That is, when the doors are double locked, none of the m can be unlocked from the inside using the door unlock switch. This is a theft deterrent to prevent unlocking the car by breaking a window. None of these additional functions are available in the Australian or NZ market Gen 2 Prius.
