Camry keyless access failure

Thanks for the quick reply! The door hasn't been noticeably difficult to open or close, and I did check the fuses – all seem fine. You mentioned a possible defective cable or plug connection. Is there a way to check this myself without disassembling the entire door panel? Are there any specific areas within the door I should focus on when looking for loose connections or damaged wires?

Given that the fuses are fine and the door operates mechanically without issue, it does point more towards a specific electrical fault within the door. Unfortunately, accessing and inspecting the cable and plug connections realistically requires removing the door panel. While it may seem daunting, there are typically guides available online – search for 'Camry 2005 door panel removal'. However, if you are at all uncomfortable with this, or if you cannot locate any obvious damage, I would suggest taking it to a workshop to prevent accidental damage. The error code should help them diagnose the fault effectively.

Thank you so much for your advice! I decided to take it to a local workshop, and you were spot on – it turned out to be a corroded connector within the door. They cleaned it up and secured it properly. The total repair cost was 95€ Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction!

I understand your frustration. The symptoms you describe strongly suggest an issue within the door itself. It's quite possible the cable or plug connection of one of the components within the door is defective. Has the door been particularly difficult to open or close recently? Have you checked the fuse box for anything related to the central locking system or door electronics? While a faulty actuator is possible, I'd first suspect a simpler wiring or connection problem, especially given the error code.
