Questions and answers
An orange key light is popping up and the smart key failing to open the car.Tried to manually open it and the alarn goes off. The car only starts when the key is close to the push to start button.Ket battery replaced last week
An orange key light on a 2016 Toyota Corolla indicates a smart key system warning. This can happen if the electronic key is outside the vehicle while the engine is on or if the system cannot detect the key due to interference or a dead key battery.
To fix a smart key that fails to open the car:
1. Use the mechanical key to unlock the driver’s door manually.
2. To start the engine:
- For automatic transmission: Ensure the shift lever is in P and press the brake pedal.
- For manual transmission: Shift to N and press the clutch pedal.
- Then, touch the Toyota emblem side of the key to the engine switch.
If the battery is discharged, replace or recharge it.
