Without sounding condescending - are you sure that all doors and boot are fully closed.

The central locking won't lock if one is ajar....

Worth opening & closing every door & boot and then trying again...

lol yeah i checked all that. thats the 1st thing i checked. i just find it strange to have happend to both sets of keys......

what year/model is it?

I know with the older yaris, some people encountered central locking signal "blackspots" where the remote signal just wouldn't work. has it worked before in this location/does it work perfectly fine in other areas?

I've got the exact dame problem! It's not to do with black spots or Battery or re programming or Doors left open! I am trying to find out also what is causing it and it's a pain! The light flashes to unlock car on remote but doesn't when I press lock! It's the same on all my brand new keys I've spent 100s on remotes still the problem is there! I have found that yoy can lock mine but only by pressing the unlock button 1st then very quickly pressing the lock button, that works even tho the car is already unlocked it wants me to press unlock then within 2 secs press lock and bang... The light flashes and it locks!! It's just so irratating tho having to do that as I have to check it actually locked b4 I walk away! Just wish it would work how it is supposed to!!! Think it's a ghost in the machine!! Haha any luck with the prob please let me know b4 i drive myself nuts!! Haha :-( x
