2007 Lexus LX 470 - Page 9 Questions & Answers
GX470. Why can't it be started?
I don't know the cure but it is probable the car's brain thinks the ignition key is still in the ignition, steering not locked - you did the impossible, probably because the key, lock and interlock is worn and that being so it might be possible with some fiddling and gentle tapping of the lock to either cause the steering to finish locking or to reverse the process.
I think the steering must lock before it will accept the key. If fiddling with it doesn't work, I think it could become expensive and inconvenient.
2006 IS250. What does code B2799 (Immobilizer) mean?
Were the keys New and set up by the dealer or a key specialist? If new keys had no effect the problem could be an issue with the immobilizer in the vehicle itself. This could be the key, the immobilizer control unit or the main ECU. These electronics might not be communicating with each other correctly.
I would suggest you get a good Auto Electrician to look at the vehicle's electronics to see if he can find where the issue is.
