Have you tried the spare smart key fob. Any warning lights on or flashing when the engine last ran?
Yes and no lights nothing at all.
Yes tried key fob and nothing. Never had warning lights
Ok .....the diagnosis usually starts with testing the 12 VOLT BATTERY and the charging system. If the engine starts with a properly executed jump start...one would suspect the charging system is not keeping the 12 VOLT BATTERY fully charged. We would also check for excessive parasitic drains upon the battery. Caution...if you decide to try a Jump Start....be very careful. Improper jump start could result in big $$$$$$$ repairs.
Zzv....did you ever resolve the issue with this vehicle?

The only solution I find it’s used electronic battery charger permanently under the hood . Each 2 weeks I charged the battery . The size of alternator is to small for the fille electric kit of this car . Camry v6 xle 2012
Ahhhh......I am a little confused here. This thread is about 6 years old. Are we dealing with the same vehicle which started this thread 6 years ago? A 2012 Camry push button start? What engine is in this vehicle?
