If it's the original factory system, there is a fuse box near the driver's left foot area; simply remove one of the fuses inside. For aftermarket installations, locate and remove the fuse on the red wire of the anti-theft control unit. Additional details about the Camry's anti-theft system are as follows: The Toyota Camry's anti-theft system consists of the main body control unit, front door courtesy light switches, rear door courtesy light switches, front door lock position switches, trunk lock assembly (trunk courtesy light switch), unlock warning switch, ignition switch, hood latch assembly (hood courtesy light switch), turn signal flasher, hazard warning lights, personal lighting assembly (front interior light), rear interior light assembly, horn relay, security horn, clock (security indicator light), DLC3, and CAN bus.
I recently dealt with the Camry's anti-theft system issue, and the solution was actually quite simple. If the car is locked, first press the unlock button on the key or approach the door handle to sense the unlock. After getting in the car, don't rush to press the accelerator. Place the key near the signal sensing area by the cup holder, wait for the anti-theft light on the dashboard to go off, then press the brake and start the engine. If the key battery is dead, after using the mechanical key to open the door, press the remote key against the start button for three seconds until you hear a beep to deactivate the system. The power-off method is also practical: open the engine hood, locate the negative terminal of the battery, loosen it with a wrench, wait five minutes, then tighten it back to reset the entire system. Remember to replace the key battery regularly and keep it waterproof and shockproof to prevent the anti-theft system from acting up.
