2006 Toyota Avalon Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the Ignition Switch with a smart key system on 2006 Toyota Avalon?

  A: One must start the repair process of the 2GR-FE engine engine switch with smart key system by implementing safety measures for air bag systems. Disconnect the negative battery terminal cable first then take out the front door scuff plate LH, cowl side trim sub-assembly LH, instrument panel finish lower panel LH, and instrument panel air bag assembly lower No.1. Begin by removing engine switch by disconnecting its connector and loosening and removing its two retaining clips. Begin the installation process by placing the engine switch connector and then reinstall the instrument panel air bag assembly lower No.1 followed by the instrument panel finish lower panel LH, cowl side trim sub-assembly LH then finish with front door scuff plate LH. Check the SRS warning light after connecting the cable to the negative battery terminal. Users need to initialize the front power seat control system after battery disconnection as well as fulfilling requirements for D/C CUT fuse replacement or power seat switch and seat assembly removal situations. The power seat ECU requires initialization by moving the seat forward to full extension while using the switch functions to recline the seatback forward and lift the seat cushion and headrest followed by reversing these motions in the same order.
