09 ES350 car cranks but won’t start -URGENT
Friday my dashboard lights all came on. I think my alternator went going out so I turned the car off it didn’t turn back on so I jump started it and tried to drive it to closest auto shop but eventually the car just didn’t have any power and died I couldn’t jump start it again. The battery had 4v when tested removed the battery to charge and its been charged up but now the engine wont start. It cranks but won’t start. Tried to crank it manually on the starter with a screwdriver but still didn’t start. I have the flat key and I have a remote start key that I’ve mainly been using I tried to press the key fob into the push to start button but it didn’t work
Side note: I can lock/unlock the car using the spare key.
is it the anti theft immobilizer? Or any ideas please!

Your anti-theft system was activated due to all the voltage issues and attempted starting. Now that you have these issues resolved, check your owner's manual for resetting it the system. You can try disconnecting the battery, waiting a few minutes, reconnect the battery, and see if it resets. Sometimes you have to use the physical key to open the door, and there may be other steps as well to reset the anti-theft system.

At one point it talks about turning the key to the on position. Since your car has a push button start system, try pushing the button twice without your foot on the brake instead.

Engine Immobilizer
Prohibits fuel delivery and ignition if an attempt is made to start the
engine with an invalid key.
if you look at the link i put up (post 3) and in that link post # 5 and in pdf 7 and pdf 16 they talk about engine immobilizer and reinstatement . seems that either use the mechanical key to unlock the door is one way or you may need to cancel the key and reinstate it
