What is the reason for the continuous flashing of the Toyota RAV4's locking light?
1 Answers
If the car's engine immobilizer light flashes at a frequency of once every 1 to 2 seconds, it is normal. This indicates that the vehicle's engine has entered the anti-theft mode, and the engine immobilizer is functioning properly. This is a normal phenomenon, and the owner does not need to deactivate it. Moreover, the power consumption is minimal, and it poses no issue for the battery. Below is a detailed introduction to the car's anti-theft system: 1. Anti-theft authentication: For vehicles with a keyless system, pressing the unlock button or the keyless button on the driver's side door handle will open the door and deactivate the vehicle's alert status. When the power is switched to the ON position, the engine immobilizer authentication is successful, and the anti-theft indicator light on the dashboard will turn off. 2. Automatic locking: After unlocking, if any door, window, or ignition switch is not opened within 30 seconds, the doors will automatically lock, and the vehicle will re-enter the alert status.
