THEFT DETERRENT / KEYLESS ENTRY: ENGINE IMMOBILISER SYSTEM (w/ Smart Key System): B2779: Engine Starter Communication Malfunction
B2779 - Engine Starter Communication Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

If the communication between the remote start ECU and certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) cannot be performed even though a remote start operation is performed in an attempt to change the power source mode to on (IG) or start the engine, this DTC is stored.

When the remote start ECU does not respond to the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) or the remote start ID code is not registered*, this DTC is stored. When communication with the remote start ECU is established and a remote start operation is performed, this DTC is cleared and is not stored as a past DTC.

HINT
*: Check "Wireless C Code" in the Data List Smart Key System (for Entry Function).





* *: Only output while a malfunction is present.
