How can I unlock a Toyota steering wheel?
I let my brother borrow my car over the weekend and when I got it back my steering wheel was locked. I’m not sure how it happened and I’ve never dealt with this before. How do you disable a steering wheel lock on a Toyota?

Toyota
steering wheel pretty easily by following these steps:- Put your car in accessory mode by turning the key once in the ignition without starting the engine.
- Wiggle the steering wheel back and forth. Vary the pressure you apply as you do this until your steering wheel unlocks.
- If this is unsuccessful, slowly turn the key in the ignition and move the steering wheel back and forth slowly.
Once your steering wheel is unlocked, you will be able to drive freely. But before you get back on the road, be sure to check out the
