Inspection Procedure 15




Inspection Procedure 15: Keyless entry system does not work.

CAUTION:
Before replacing the ECU, ensure that the power supply circuit, the ground circuit and the communication circuit are normal.










TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)

The receiver antenna module receives lock and unlock signals from the keyless operation key, and sends them to KOS-ECU, and further to ETACS-ECU. Also, when ETACS receives signals from the key reminder switch and all the door switches, ETACS-ECU judges them to activate the keyless entry system.
