INSPECTION PROCEDURE

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK KEY




(a) Check if the ignition key being used is near other ignition keys, as shown in the illustration. Also, check if the key ring is in contact with the key grip.

Result:





B -- CHECK TRANSPONDER KEY AMPLIFIER
A -- Continue to next step.
2. CHECK FOR DTC
(a) Separate the keys from each other or remove the key ring.
(b) Clear the DTC Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.
(c) Insert a key into the ignition key cylinder. Then remove it. Repeat for all the other keys.
(d) Check that no code is output.
OK:
No code is output.
OK -- END
NG -- Continue to next step.
3. CHECK TRANSPONDER KEY AMPLIFIER




(a) Using an oscilloscope, check for noise in the waveform between the terminals of the T12 amplifier connector and T13 ECU connector.
OK:
No noise is present (see illustration).






NG -- FIND CAUSE OF NOISE AND REMOVE IT
OK -- Continue to next step.
4. CHECK WIRE HARNESS (TRANSPONDER KEY AMPLIFIER - TRANSPONDER KEY ECU)




(a) Disconnect the T12 amplifier connector.
(b) Disconnect the T13 ECU connector.
(c) Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.
Standard resistance:






NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK -- Continue to next step.
5. CHECK TRANSPONDER KEY AMPLIFIER (OPERATION)
(a) Temporarily replace the transponder key amplifier with a new or normally functioning one Removal.
(b) Check that the engine starts.
OK:
Engine starts.
NG -- REPLACE TRANSPONDER KEY ECU
OK -- END (TRANSPONDER KEY AMPLIFIER IS DEFECTIVE)
