Messed up the BCM cause you didn’t use the saver tool that plugs into the OBD2 port before disconnecting main power supply. Now the dealer will have to flash the systems to get things back to normal.

You should have plugged in a memory saver device to the vehicle before you disconnected the battery. Now you have to be towed to your local Toyota Dealer to have the computers flashed (reprogrammed). Jim
