INSPECTION PROCEDURE

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK DTC OUTPUT

(a) Clear the DTCs Engine Immobiliser System (w/o Smart Key System).

(b) Recheck for DTCs.

HINT
If any DTCs other than DTC B279A are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.

Result:

A -- GO TO DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART Engine Immobiliser System (w/o Smart Key System)
B -- Continue to next step.

2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (TRANSPONDER KEY ECU - ECM)

(a) Disconnect the E15 ECU and A24 ECM connectors.

(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Resistance:

NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK -- Continue to next step.

3. CHECK TRANSPONDER KEY ECU ASSEMBLY (WAVEFORM)

(a) Reconnect the E15 ECU and A24 ECM connectors.

(b) Using an oscilloscope, check the waveform.

Waveform (Reference):

OK:

Normal waveform is output (see illustration).

NG -- REPLACE TRANSPONDER KEY ECU ASSEMBLY

OK -- REPLACE ECM (for 2AR-FE) Removal

4. REPLACE TRANSPONDER KEY ECU ASSEMBLY

(a) Replace the transponder key ECU assembly Removal.

NEXT -- Continue to next step.

5. REGISTER KEY

(a) Register the key Engine Immobiliser System (W/O Smart Key System).

NEXT -- Continue to next step.

6. REGISTER ECU COMMUNICATION ID

(a) Register the ECU communication ID Engine Immobiliser System (W/O Smart Key System).

NEXT -- Continue to next step.

7. CHECK DTC OUTPUT

(a) Clear the DTCs Engine Immobiliser System (w/o Smart Key System).

(b) Recheck for DTCs.

OK:

DTC B279A is not output.

NG -- REPLACE ECM (for 2AR-FE) Removal

OK -- END (TRANSPONDER KEY ECU ASSEMBLY WAS DEFECTIVE)
