If your Toyota 4Runner's security system isn't functioning correctly, you'll need to reset it to get it up and running again. This system is designed to disable your ignition system when you lock the doors, and it will alert you with an alarm if the windows are broken or the door is opened while it's locked. To reset the security system, insert the key into the ignition without starting the engine, then hold down the lock and unlock buttons on your key fob. You'll hear a long beep once the system resets. Following that, press the valet switch near the hood release lever in the driver's footwell. This process should fully reset the system and have it back in working order.

    To restart the security system of your Toyota 4Runner, first, switch the key to the "on" position and hold down the lock/unlock buttons on your remote key fob. Let go of the buttons when you hear a prolonged beep. Then swiftly toggle the valet switch located near the hood release back and forth.

    My remote control needs a new battery, but it's not responding at all - not even the red light comes on. The handheld alarm on it is also not working; the red light doesn't turn on when I press it, even with a new battery. What should I do to get it fixed or serviced? The security alarm for my 2001 Toyota 4Runner is also not working - the red light doesn't come on with any remote and new batteries. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    It appears that everything is functioning correctly, though it seems like there may be some security concerns or issues that need to be addressed soon.
