Toyota Repair: 2007 FJ cruiser Dash light warning, blown fuse, starter system
QuestionI have a 07 FJC with a remote starter installed. The starter works fine as far as firing the engine. The FJ will run fine but when I cut the engine off to restart and drive away the dash lights come on. Check engine light, ABS, VSC and the anti slip.
I have been told this could be one of two things. The 2nd starter/ignition wire wasn't used or possibly a blown ECM fuse. If I have blown a ECM fuse would the FJ still be operable and would the starter still work? If I disconnect the battery the FJ will be show no dash error lights at first but once I start to drive again the error lights come on. Also if I do not use the starter the dash warning lights will cut off and everything is back to normal.
AnswerA blown ECM fuse would not allow it to run normally and not let the starter work, but that doesn't rule out that there may be a blown fuse in another circuit, I would recommend checking all the fuses including the under hood fuses for continuity, persaonally I have no experience with the remote starter system, if all fuses check good then I would recommend contacting the place that installed the remote starter system. It's possible that the remote is interfering with the keyless entry/alarm system.
