2001 Sequoia parking and instrument lights come and stay on one or 2 minutes after turning engine off
Turn engine off and remove key from ignition, close door, but don't lock it. a minute or so later parking & instrument lights come on, and will not go off even if headlight switch is turned on-off or car is locked-unlocked with remote key-less entry. Only way to get 'em go off is to put key in ignition and turn. When in this funny mode, if I turn engine off and lock door by remote (parking lights are suppose to flash once - or ON-OFF once), parking and instrument lights come on and stay on till battery dies. Intermittent problem once every 2-3 weeks, funny mode can last a few minutes or till batteries die. Seems to go away easier if I disconnect the battery, of course comes back after a few days.
Everything on this truck is Toyota original equipment, including the remote keyless, alarm, the engine immobilizer, and everything else. The problem was intermitted, and it is now almost there al the times (or better say 90%). - I turn off the engine and remove the keys and close the door, but do not lock it. with in 2 minutes the parking lights come on and stay on (90% of the time). - If parking lights do not come on, then when I use the remote to lock the car, the parking lights come and stay on (do not flash once to indicate car is locked). - if the pronlem has not happened and the car is locked and parking lights are not on, if I unlock the car with the remote, then parking lights come on and stay one (they are supposed to flash twice). - When the parking lights get into this situation of staying on, the only thing that will make them go off is putting the key into the ignition and turnning the key so the radio can come on, or engine comes on.
My own suspicion: It is the Body ECU that controls the lights. It sells for $588 in Canada, and US$499. It is the only part that Toyota marks up 20% compared to the USA, almost most other Toyota parts are marked up 50% to 80% in Canada.Everything on this truck is Toyota original equipment, including the remote keyless, alarm, the engine immobilizer, and everything else.

I had a wire connector on the front of the engine that had so much tension, the wires broke. I didn't notice until a wet day when the car wouldn't start (and the Check Engine light was on). (The error code was related to an Emissions error.) The connector is located on the engine, front, just left of center. Hope this helps!
is it aftermarket or factory remote if it factory no if its aftermarket no but they could have tapped power from somwhere they shouldnt have causing the lights to stay on

Sounds like the anti theft system is active m try this process. Turn the key on. Do not attempt to start. Wait 10 minutes. Turn key off. Turn key on. Wit for theft light to go off. Now attempt to start.
Each tire has a module and the receiving unit in the car typically under the dash. To reset it:
1. Park the vehicle in a safe place and turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" position.
2. Adjust the pressure of all installed tires to the specified cold tire inflation pressure level.
3. Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position.
4. Push and hold the tire pressure warning reset switch until the tire pressure warning light blinks slowly three times.
5. Leave the system with the ignition switch in "ON" position for a few minutes, and then turn the ignition key to the "LOCK" position.
TO REMOVE IGNITION.FIRST TURN OFF RADIO.TO KEEP FROM LOCKING IT OUT.REMOVE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE.WAIT 20 MINUTES.THIS WILL DISABLE AIRBAGS.ALLOW THEM TO DISCHARGE.NOW YOU HAVE TO REMOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER.REMOVE THE TWO SCREWS SECURING THE IGNITION SWITCH.PUSH THE SWITCH ABOUT 1 INCH STRAIGHT BACK TO CLEAR THE MOUNTING BRACKET THEN LIFT IT UP AND OUT FROM BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL.DISCONNECT THE IGNITION SWITCH ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS AND THE IGNITION INTERLOCK CABLE.USING THE KEY TURN THE LOCK CYLINDER TO RUN AND PRESS IN THE PIN TO RELEASE THE CYLINDER THEN WITHDRAW THE CYLINDER WITH THE KEY.THE CYLINDER MUST BE REMOVED TO REPLACE IGNITION SWITCH BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO DISCONNECT WIRE TO THE IGNITION SWITCH. IN ORDER FOR CAR TO START YOU HAVE TO REPROGRAM NEW IGNITION SWITCH TO THE BCM AND PCM.TO DO THIS.TURN IGNITION SWITCH TO THE ON POSITION WITH ENGINE OFF FOR 10 MINUTES WATCH THE SECURITY LIGHT. WHEN SECURITY LIGHT EXTINGUISH.TURN OFF SWITCH FOR 5 SECONDS THEN START THE ENGINE.IF STILL DONT WORK TRY THIS PROCEDURE TWO MORE TIMES.IF YOU GET CAR RUNNING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURN ON CHECK FOR CODES P1630 P1631 P1632 USE CODE SCAN TO ERASE CODES IF CODES REMAIN LET DEALERSHIP CHECK IT OUT.THEY WILL HAVE TO ERASE CODES AND REPROGRAM THEFT SECURITY SYSTEM.
I think you need to try this in park not neutral-keep your foot on the brake, and put the shifter in park, then try turning the wheel slightly, and turn the ignition key.
have you got a an answer? you just need to keep a hand on the key to turn and the other hand on the steering wheel move it both ways (left and right) gently!
if problem stays, means you need to change the switch assemb. may be a kid inserted some thing in it!! or theft trial!
Remove battery cable for a minute, then put it back on. The light will go out.
If there is a fault in the system that hasn't been repaired properly, the light will eventually come back on. Fixing the problem is usually the best solution.
Add Duplicate Key (PK3 or PK3+ key)
1. Insert an existing key into the ignition cylinder. 2. Turn the ignition cylinder to ON (RUN) and back to OFF. 3. Remove the existing key and, within fifteen seconds, insert the new key and turn it to ON (RUN). 4. The security light will light up for two seconds to indicate success in programming the key into the vehicle. Originate New Master Key (PK3 or PK3+ key)
1. Insert new key into ignition cylinder and turn it to the ON (RUN) position. The security light on the dash will illuminate and stay on for ten minutes. 2. When the security light goes out, you have one minute to start the next step. Turn the ignition cylinder to OFF and then back to the ON (RUN) position. The security light on the dash will illuminate and stay on for ten more minutes. 3. When the security light goes out, you have one minute to start the next step. Turn the ignition cylinder to OFF and then back on the ON (RUN) position. The security light on the dash will illuminate and stay on for ten more minutes. 4. After the security light has gone off the third time, the key has been programmed into the vehicle’s computer and will operate the car. It has replaced ALL the previous electronic key codes and is the ONLY key programmed into the vehicle’s computer.

1. Put the newly cut Master key into the keyway and turn it to the ON (RUN) position. A "security" indicator light on the dashboard will stay on for 10 minutes. 2. Within 1 minute after the indicator light goes off, turn the ignition to "OFF", then return to the ON (RUN) position. The indicator light again will stay on for 10 minutes (Do not remove the key.) 3. Again, within 1 minute after the indicator light goes off, turn the ignition to "OFF", then return to the ON (RUN) position. The indicator light again will stay on for 10 minutes. (Do not remove the key.) 4. When the light goes off the third time, the new key is programmed into the computer and will start the car. Remove the key and then re-insert it into the ignition lock and start the car. All previously stored codes will be erased. To stop the process at any time, simply remove the key and use an existing key to start the car.
I have 07 Pontiac Grand Prix, the wrong key was inserted into the ignition the other day. Now when I try to use the correct key it will not insert completly in the ignition, goes in until last 1/4in of key. Im stuck, I bought the new lock cylinder but how do I get the old one out? I cant get the key to insert all the way so I cant get it to the "On" position, it will not turn at all. The key that was inserted in error is whole and nothing is missing it seems like there is something stuck. Any help would be appreciated...
