    Highlander Hybrid 2013 - battery drain over break. We attached a jumper system and can see power in the system but the car wont turn over to start, nor can we get it into Drive or Neutral.

    It seems the anti-theft system was triggered during or after battery drain.

    How can we reset the anti-theft to start the car? (its in a tight spot so cant tow to dealer)

    Thank you!

    Checking batteries and using the real key seem like good ideas.
