tvss you can add additional remotes, also behind security brace on the alarm ECU there are about 5 green slide switches, i would have to look up on what each switch does though

See on another 1994 RAV; there's a problem with the alarm/immobiliser..... on unlocking the car with the key fob, one has to start the car immediately otherwise it goes into immobilisation mode and won't start. If it doesn't start, one has to jump out, lock with the remote, then open with the remote and jump back in and quickly start the car. Once started it seems to run ok.

I've not seen the car yet, so don't know if its an original T alarm.... is it a problem or is there a time delay switch that can be altered??? Cheers.

ps - this is NOT a wind-up!! Just that the car has to travel 370 miles this week.

Проблема сейчас состоит в том, что даже механик Тойоты не имеет представления в чем дело и отказался от дальнейших попыток что-либо сделать. Даже после того, как есму показали, где может находится блок управления двигателем он чисал затылок и ничего не мог сделать.

Очень плохой знак для Сервисцетра Тойота!!!! Любые подсказки и мысли по этому поводу будут очень полезны, так как жена меня уже запилила.

And that's just the beginning............all hell has broken loose now!!!! Wife with Rav in Garage not working.......not good.

Just for Bothwell_Buyer to show that there are facilities to accomodate all manner of written English!!!!!! Slightly off topic, apologies, and it's me that needs the help 'Guv.

FOREIGN LANGUAGE ISSUES

Never mind taking on folk from Eastern Europe when there is a ready supply on the East side of the Pennines.

Recruiting from Yorkshire is good for business; lots of the starving unemployed eager to work for a pittance of pay and daring not to complain or they'll be out on the street with their dozens of screaming bairns, and their benefits cut for six months.

Research has shown that Yorkshire Folk aren't as thick as they make out. They just can't grasp the meaning of modern English.

That's why you need a new software package . . .

Word for Yorkshire!

The installation process automatically modifies their Windows start button

All the usual Word menu options are there, but in a language your Yorkshire employees can understand

Even the warning messages have changed

And if all else fails, they will have a help facility that folks from Barnsley and Bradford can understand

Great New Translating Tool!

With this little beauty you can have your employee’s type in their own language:

Testimonial

But don't just take our word for it.

Here are some of the great things people have been saying about Yorkshire Word:

"Before we installed Yorkshire Word onto the PC's of all our journalists, no-one outside of the West Riding of Yorkshire would buy our paper. Now even Saath Landoners can understand it!" Editor, Telegraph & Argus

"Thank you for creating such an excellent product! Now my employees can use Yorkshire Word to write out their CV's, as I am making them all redundant next week!" Manager, ***** & Greedy Ltd Wakefield

"Phew, what a God-send! Now I can dismiss all the monkeys working in our typing pool, and employ Yorkshire Girls instead at a much cheaper rate!" N.Other Manager, Screwthepoor & Sons

"Is't tha tekking ***** or summat? Ah'll come ovar there and give thee such a clout that <cut>" Fred Hardcastle Slaithwaite

Actually all joking aside, as we appear to have trundled off topic, my wife's alarm if you open the doors with the remote but do not enter the car for about 2 minutes it automatically re-locks the doors, but that;s another issue......................I have still not been able to resolve this bl**dy issue with the alarm and it is driving me crazy now.

By the way the Russian is as follows:

Проблема сейчас состоит в том, что даже механик Тойоты не имеет представления в чем дело и отказался от дальнейших попыток что-либо сделать. Даже после того, как есму показали, где может находится блок управления двигателем он чисал затылок и ничего не мог сделать.

Очень плохой знак для Сервисцетра Тойота!!!! Любые подсказки и мысли по этому поводу будут очень полезны, так как жена меня уже запилила.

"The problem now is even the Toyota mechanic has given up and has no idea, even after showing him (translated all of the options as to where the ECU might be, but even when finding it he still kind of scratches his head and whistles.

A worrying sight from a Toyota Service Centre!!!!!!!..........................Any other additional clues would be extremely helpful as my ears are taking a serious pounding from the wife."

So you see my predicament at this time???????

[bothwell_buyer]

The 2nd RAV 3 door '94 I have just bought is being driven up here by my daughter...

she has reported that she can open the doors with the alarm fob, then has a VERY short time to start the car. Any delay means the immobiliser kicks in and the car won't start. The process then is to get out of the car; lock with alarm fob; unlock; and quickly start engine. Once engine has started all is well. So it seems like the exact same problem??

I won't have the car until this weekend, then I'll have a look.

I know from my existing RAV that the central locking works, even if you disconnect the alarm control unit. the remote doesn't work. When I say disconnect the alarm unit, I mean stripping out the gubbins that sits below the dash as described above...a previous garage kindly did this after they lost the alarm fob!

By the way, which Moscow do you live in....or which country???

[Rav in Moscow]

Thanks I'll wait for your comments on the '94, and I actually live in Moscow, Russia which during this time surprisingly enough has not caused any other problems to my wife's Rav as we drove it here the same as I did with my Harrier from the UK and since then both cars have been to Finland, Ukraine, down to the Black Sea and good old Latvia, to name a few places.

The Rav has just hit 120,000 miles and "touch wood" we have had no problems with it except it's first clutch change at 95,000 miles (this car if sold can proudly announce 1 careful Lady owner--------it's just when I get into the car it comes ALIVE, especially 2 years ago when I was working out at the airport and the only road was a dirt track that during the summer was fine but during the winter with 3 feet of snow on it it was brilliant!!!!!!)

I will have the Rav back tonight so tomorrow will set about ripping the alarm out, although loughed to do it as it is a good alarm I cannot take any more pressure on my ear drums!!!!

Or Moscow, Idaho in the "good ol' US of A"

No sadly Moscow, Russia.

If it was Ayrshire I would have been round to yours to sort this alarm problem out!!!!!!!

[bothwell_buyer]

Ah well!

I spoke to the guys who look after my RAV ( The Garage now moved to Motherwell - Dave.M territory)

They are looking forward to receiving my 2nd RAV for the turbo conversion. They said as far as the alarm goes, that it sounds like the dip switches (little switches on the unit below the dash) have been set to the minimum time thus the alarm sounds after a few seconds. It is able to be changed. I'll know more when I drop the car off to them.

Sorry for the delay.......problem working abroad, all work and no play, mind you Burn's Night Ball tomorrow night so plenty of play!!!!!!!!

Thanks Bothwell, I look forward to your comments, but hey in the mean time I have found out it is a (according to Booklet found at a late date by the wife-------never even knew we had it!!!)

Toyota Vehicle Security System.....................wait for it......................TVSS IIIB.

I believe this particular alarm has come up in the past, but I cannot remember where and by who, also where is the location of the ECU as I have had the Kick Panels off, Glove box out, checked under the drivers seat and I'll be bu**ered if I can find it.

It hangs under the dash strapped on by ties i believe, in by the passenger side feet. There is a recent post on it.
