    I couldn't have said it better. Probably it does that to say "Hey, you! You f**ked something up and I'm not going to tell you".

    Yes, that's it! So was it the sensor error that did it?

    Mine beeps six times when trying to lock it by pressing the door handle. This turns out to be because the passenger door ISN’T locking with the other doors, so it is a warning message. I can manually lock it, but the problem seems to be in the lock accuator.

    Mine did the same thing before I swapped it on both passenger and then drivers side.

    As mentioned in the post DIRECTLY above yours... check the car to see if it's actually locking. If it's not, your door lock actuator motors are bad and need replaced. It's a common toyota issue across the fleet.

    The doors are locked even when the sound comes on …sound doesn’t come on all the time when doors are locked but it comes often enough. Also it seems as if it’s coming from the front engine area. any help appreciated .
