97 Es300 Door Key Only Operates Driver's Door

[Eric Cheung]

I bought a 97 ES300 recently. The previous owner replaced the stock alarm system. I can operate all the four doors with alarm remote unit. However, if I operate the doors with the key, I can only lock/unlock the drivers door. The other doors will not follow. Is this how it should be or is this related to the stock alarm system being removed?

Any information is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

In case you did not figure this out yet...

Put the key in the drivers door, twist right once to unlock the drivers door only, twist right twice to unlock all doors.

This is undoubtedly a security feature.

Enjoy,

Gary :)

Gary, thanks a lot for responding :) . It's interesting to know such a security feature. I'm eager to try it. However, I'm out of town and will not see my car until the coming Friday. Can't wait to try it.

Cheers,

Eric :D
