What to do if your Toyota Avalon starts cranking?
2) Also, try repeatedly turning the key to the “start” position. ie) turn against the spring in the ignition…you will notice if the car is cranking…if NOT release and immediately turn again (you should be doing this 2-3 times per second). These repeated “jolts” of current often get the starter “cranking” in the early stages of its decline.
What’s the problem with my 2006 Avalon XL?
I’m ripping my hair out over an ongoing problem with my 2006 Avalon XLS. Anywhere from 1-10 times per week when you turn the ky to start the engine, it will crank continuously and not start the engine. If you turn the key back to OFF, then try again, it starts right up.
Why does my 1999 Toyota Avalon not start?
1999 Avalon would not start this morning. Did notice windows were slow the day before. Replaced the battery and still would not start.

How long does it take for a Toyota Avalon to start?
After few more tries, and about 15 to 25 minutes, the engine finally would crank slowly and finally got started.

Some functions are not a matter of reprogramming, though. A battery disconnection will reset the trip meter readings to zero; these readings are not recoverable. Fortunately, a disconnection does not erase the memory of the push-button start function.
How do you reset the minutes on a Toyota Avalon?
Press “H” to reset the hours and “M” to reset the minutes.

Determine your zone number by looking at the map in the owner’s manual.
What causes a Toyota Avalon to lose control?
Cracked or Broken Steering Lock Bar: The steering lock bar wasn’t cast properly on many 2000-2004 Avalons. As a result, it’d crack or break over time, eventually locking the steering wheel and causing the driver to lose control of the car. In 2010, Toyota recalled nearly 375,000 Avalon models to fix this issue.
Can a Toyota Avalon run without a green light?
Most likely post #355 above from our HOST is right. The green light is no help. Fix it now before you end up with no power on the nearest x-way at 60 mph. Avalons, and most other new cars, do *not* run without a good charged battery and good connections.
Why does my Toyota Avalon have a green indicator light?
The green indicator light really doesn’t tell you what the battery will do “under load”, only its static and unstressed condition.
