code 22

[burton51m]

Before this i started my car maybe 5 times the last day i ran it and nothing happened, everything was normal. Come home and try to start it heres what happens-

I turn the key to ACC:
- the head unit/radio gets power
-clock comes on
-door light and sound come on
...everthing seemed normal.

I turn the key to ON:
- i hear some relays 'click' in the engine
-TEMS lights come on
-Engine check light is on
-airbag,parking brake are on and everything is on and working

Turn the key to START:
-nothing, just the radio and clock go out when key is in start position like they normally do. no clicks, no engine turn.


i checked the fuses and everthing in the kickpannel that deal with the ECU and found nothing.

if nobody has any suggestions i will call my local toyota dealership.

i dont see how code 22 (water Temp sensor signal) would have anything do do with it? hope it's not the ECU

Starter relay or starter. Try hitting the starter with something. Or sit in the car with the key all the way to the start position and have someone hit the starter for you.

I just re-read and forgot to ask the obvious...is the battery any good? did you try jumping it? A battery can have enough charge to turn on all your accessories, but not turn the car over...its worth a try.

but failing that, I would say solenoid, which is on the starter anyways, so replacing that would be in order.

If its a manual, the nuetral safety switch might be bad. Jump it to a ground and try. Also the factory alarm has a ground that makes the starter not work, so check that.
