Good morning all

I have a 2010 4x2 D4D which I lent to a friend now I had to tow it back because the immobilizer light won't switch off it means the bakkie is only cranking but won't start, please help I miss my Toyota now.
Regards Daniel

Had a similar problem with my Rav4 ... was completely stumped, but then tried the spare key and walla, it started. The battery that powers the transponder in the key had gone flat, fitted a new battery and that one worked as well.

It could be that your problem has a simple solution like that, so that's what I would try first.
