HINT: Since the key reminder warning system has functions that use CAN communication, first confirm that there is no malfunction in the communication system by inspecting the CAN communication function in accordance with the "HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING" procedures. Then, conduct the following inspection procedure.
