Toyota 2007 Camry issue starting, diagnostic run and code P0102 and B2799

P0102

& B2799 no engine told and is engine problems. of 3.
2.4 gas and 2.4 electric gas/hybrid! and 3.5L V6 ?????????????
no vin told, the 8th digit (usa) is engine code, learn to share that.

so the starter motor spins fast and engine too spin but will not start.?
the word turns over , means zero in the real world.
the starter spins, (turns) the crank shaft turns (if lucky spins) and the engine starts and runs and stays running. a serial process that./
worse yet?
other say turns means engine runs
turns over means ZERO to me.
.
or
cranks fast? but will not start? or runs for 1 to 10 seconds and stalls.

try to know we are blind and deaf here, we can not hear you turn the to start via key, and matters huge. this.

you put in a new battery and all I can do is scratch my head.
and think gee your starter was dead?. starter motor dead.
or not charged up.<<bet this I do. (blind)


P0102 MAF reads low, ( means weak and when weak engine power will be WEAK) the error means really SUPER WEAK or dead even.. or starter + battery weak causes fails error.

& B2799 IMMO errors
RULE #1 is:
to fix any cars even DIY the cars battery must be kept fully charged using a tool of same name a battery charger on any engine
that fails to start and or Alternator is dead.
must.
or the computers on board lie to you , with weak battery for sure cranking down and draining the battery too low.

b2799

Error in communication between hybrid vehicle control ECU and ID code box...

so is is the Hybrid car and you never told that.
wow not good for you and getting wrong answers and guessing
wrong.

B2799 is also listed as IMMO comm errors max.

my guess you keep cranking the dead engine
and the computers on board tell you lies

RECAP
no engine told. not one clue
not told if starter motor (cranking) is dead, weak slow or you cranked the dead engines battery flat

tow the car to a real shop.
they will charge the battery first and load test it
then crank the engine. and see if it starts.

OK what to do now. besides tow to shop
check call fuses.
charge the battery 100% and keep it charged or you will not make progress fast. OR NEVER.
TURN (THE ENGINE/START/STOP BUTTON DEAD?
LOOK AT THE DASH CLUSTER AND IMMO LAMP
kEY NOT DETECTED.?
THE IMMO LAMP MUST BE HAPPY(GLOW)
IF IMMO FAILS USE THE 2ND KEY TOY GAVE YOU DAY1 NEW
YOU HAVE 2 KEYS, UNLESS YOU LOST THE 2ND
OK IMMO HAPPY
TURN THE KEY TO START, AND CRANK THE ENGINE
IF WILL NOT START ADD 5% (A TAD) RIGHT FOOT THROTTLE
STARTS NOW?
IMMO ON THE CAR IS A MESSAGE BOX, ERROR
"KEY NOT DETECTED"
CAR HAS PUSH BUTTON START OPTION?
DO NOT HAVE BOTH KEYS IN THE CAR AT THE SAME TIME.
THIS CAR HAS 2 KINDS OF START SYSEMS
KEY OR KEYLESS.
THE LATER IS PASSIVE KEY FOB. ONLY
AND HERE ARE THE IMMO RULES IN YOU MANUAL

19-undefined-undefined-0_0.jpg see the IMMO lamp up top. see the car body ICON with KEY symbol there. this lamp must not act wrong/
if does , this must be solved first.
IMMO means IMMOBLIZED.
the smart key , uses display message. no key detected

It appears it does not recognize your ignition key as valid. Make sure you have no other transponder keys near the one you are using.

Replaced dead battery on 2008 toyota highlander, now the engine will not start, everything else works in the car.

Starter may be locked up or bad. If Starter is Ok then it will be in the Ground from the starter. If Engine is Cranking and not turning over you are either not getting 1 or 2 things spark or fuel. No Fuel chances are, it is a bad fuel pump, If No spark it is a bad coil or distributor.

2002 toyota highlander 4 cylinder check engine light blinking

A blinking light, like a "service engine soon immediately" light?
The only way to know why the engine computer turned the light on is to plug in a scan tool at the diagnostic port, and then the fault code or codes will be displayed. The code will refer you or a tchnician to a specific system, part, or circuit that the computer has detected a fault in. It probably is the cause of your running rough condition, also.
Some parts stores (Autozone, and other national stores) offer free scan service to retrieve trouble codes. Be careful of buying new parts just because the trouble code refers to them. Most trouble codes need a little testing and further diagnosis to pin-point the problem.
You can post the codes here for help, or take them to youir mechanic.
