The central locking in my 2007 Toyota Kluger KX-R keeps activating randomly, the car constantly beeps and indicators flash when this happens. I unlocked the car, opened the driver's door, popped the bonnet and walked around the back to get my tools. Whilst walking around the car, the doors tried to lock five times and each time I had to push the remote to unlock the car to stop the constant beeping.
I have disconnected the battery to stop it happening. Can you tell me what is going on please?
This sounds a lot like a problem with what's called the body computer. The unit in question controls all those functions that the car needs to have apart from the engine and transmission (which is handled by another set of computers).
When the body computer loses the plot, all sorts of havoc can ensue with the central locking, lighting, cruise-control, heating and ventilation and the entertainment systems. Interestingly, though, sometimes the body computer can be rebooted by disconnecting the battery for an hour (or overnight is even better). In some cases, this is enough to return the computer to normal function. It's a bit like the Alt-Control-Delete treatment for a personal computer that's frozen.
So see if things have improved when you reconnect the battery. If not, it's time to visit an auto electrician to sort things out.
