what? I think thats just MK2 supras. On the MK3 you just push the switch and it will lock or if your outside simply turn the key, you dont need to hold the handle up on MK3's.
:3d_frown: The holding of the handle is for 86.5 and 87 models...ugh... I found that out the hard way.... from an insulting brut at the toyota dealer parts....:cry:
yup, you have to hold the handle when you shut the door or the door will autmatically unlock. Maybe if you swap in newer door handles?
My 87 never had that....hmmm. Theres a sensor on the back of the key holes if you remove the door panels. You could try unclipping it.
The sensor on the back of the key lock cylinder is for the stock theft deterrent system. Take it off, unlock your doors and open them, you will set off the alarm.
he's right. Small plastic clip thingy that clips to the back of the lock cylinder. When you turn the key it disables the alarm, otherwise, it will (should) go off.
When I said 'set off the alarm', I meant it would activate - horn blaring, lights flashing - set off. That sensor tells the alarm that someone with the key unlocked the door. Not someone with a slimjim 
edit: But I don't know about what to do about not holding the handle up to lock the door. My '91 doesn't need to be held up.

I also want to know how to get rid of this feature on my 87. I hate having to explain it to people when they ride with me.
Maybe a door control module out of an 88+ would do it
Top off, windows down, never out of sight FTW

when people ride in my car i tell them to hold the handle up when closing from the outside. But eventually they forget, so i end up waiting in my car till they close their door and i lock both doors from my side. Its anoying but im use to it now
its for the people who forget to take their keys with them before they get out..LOL....just incase they forgot to take their keys...theyre not screwed and they dont have to call AAA....it happened too much to me in my fathers old taurus :eek3:
It's not electronic. It's mechanical. If you put the 88+ door locking mechanism (the latch) into your car it will remove that functionality. 1988 was the year Toyota got rid of that across their entire model lineup. IIRC.
