2000 Toyota Tundra Key Wont Turn

The problem with my 2000 Sienna began as a zero response when turning the key to start the van.

2000 toyota tundra key wont turn. 2000 Toyota Tundra will not turn over. Once its there I can turn the key enough to unlock the steering wheel but cant turn it farther to start the engine. Ive tried alcohol lock de-icer electronics cleaner and graphite with no success.

This isnt unusual in higher end vehicles which frequently use more complex electronic ignition systems. Key wont turn in ignition. Not really hard but firmly.

Then check the voltage at the starter when you turn the key to the start position. Of the time its. This problem just started at random today.

Im starting to think this is an electronic problem as the door lock is actually what Toyota calls an electromagnetic system. Feels like it is hitting a stop of some sort. I bought a new cylinder with key but in order to eject the old part out it needs to rotate to ACC.

The steering wheel is not locked either and the key won t even turn out of the ACC position. For 1999-2004 Toyota Tacoma Intermediate Pipe Walker 69748GS 2002 2003 2001 2000. The lights flash and the horn sounds when someone tries to break in the vehicle or start the vehicle without the programmed key for the vehicle.

The Toyota Tundra has a factory alarm that acts as a deterrent to protect your vehicle from burglary. If the cars battery is dead you will often notice that the key wont turn. Asked by 5mendezlm in Tucson AZ on May 06 2018.
