Hi, I have a 2001 camry SXV20R. My central locking system works fine with my remote. However with the key, I only can lock the car but when try to unlock it, it doesn't.  If I manually lock the driver side door, the key can unlock it. Is it has something to do with the look lock cylinder? Any help would be appreciated

Lock cylinder looks to be a problem. May be worth talking to a Toyota service department rep or a locksmith.

Almost.... My Camry would lock / unlock as I drove...  Turned out to be dejfective  SWITCH  operated by  the (one and only !)  driver's door key.

  Unplugged  said circuit...and Gremlin went away.  Turns out the key does NOT operate the  safety *mechanism* ,  the powered  actuator or internal snib does that.   Understand the same approach is used in other Toyotas.. 

 

If my fob battery dies suddenly,  I'm stuffed !
