Prgram lock and unlock
 

On a 97 es300...is there a way to program the car unlock when for example in park and to lock for example when you put it into drive ? or anything like that ?

Setting the door lock function

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Got this fron the dealer the other day. You can set the following auto door locking and unlocking functions. All times must be EXACT or it will not work.

(a) Locking linked with the shift position

All the dooor are locked automatically when the selector lever is moved out of the "P" position with the ignition switch in the "ON" position. This is suppose to be the default setting for new vehicles.

(b) Unlocking linked with the shift position

All the door are unlocked automatically when the selector lever is moved to the "P" position with the switch in the "ON" position.

(c) Locking linked with the vehicle speed

All the doors are automatically locked when the vehicle speed reached 12 mph or higher. However, if any door is unlocked during driving, the auto function will not operate until the unlocked door is opened once.

(d) All the doors are unlocked automatically when the driver's door is opened within 10 seconds after the ignition switch is turned from "ON" to the "ACC" or "LOCK" position.

Setting the functions
1. Close all the doors.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
3. Within 10 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to the "ON" position;
+To set function (a)
Push and hold the front of the power door lock switch for 5 seconds with the selector lever in the "P" position.
+To set function (b)
Push and hold the rear of the power door lock switch for 5 seconds with the selector switch in the "P" position.
+To set fuction (c)
Push and hold the front of the power door lock switch for 5 seconds with the selector switch in any position except "P".
+To set function (d)
Push and hold the rear of the power door lock switch for 5 seconds with the selector switch in any position except "P".

All the doors are automatically locked and unlocked when you release the power door lock switch. This indicates that the functions is set. If all the doors do not lock and unlock, the time the switch was held may have been too short or too long. Perform the procedure over again starting at step 1.

If you want to cancel a function, repeat the procedure. Each time you perform the procedure, the function is set or cancelled.

I tried it several times on my 1998 ES300 with no luck. Did any one tried it and succeeded please let me know. I really love to have this feature but I am unable to. One thing i observed in all my trails is there is some "Hissing sound" from battery at the end of 5 seconds hold time of the auto-door lock switch. Other than that no functionality achieved. Please update me whether this feature is applicable for 1998 ES300s or not.

I don't think Lexus built that feature in at the time.:sad:

I had a remote starter installed on my 95 es with the keyless option and all my doors automatically lock when i shift out of park..but I'm not sure if it already had that option??

If that feature exists in 95 ES then i think it should be in 98 too....
Or Is your remote starter is providing that functionality?
I want to know whether your remote starter is OEM or after market...

Any 98 ES300 gurus can shed light on me to achieve this thing....

Hey did you succeed in programming this for your 97 ES? Please update...

I've been locking/unlocking the car with and without the aftermarket remote. So far, everytime i shift out of park, the doors will automatically lock. Maybe its something to do with the wiring?

Let me know if you know anything i should do with wiring stuff....
