2. CUSTOMER PROBLEM ANALYSIS

HINT
* In troubleshooting, confirm that the problem symptoms have been accurately identified. Preconceptions should be discarded in order to make an accurate judgment. To clearly understand what the problem symptoms are, it is extremely important to ask the customer about the problem and the conditions at the time the malfunction occurred.
* Gather as much information as possible for reference. Past problems that seem unrelated may also help in some cases.
* The following 5 items are important points for problem analysis:






* *: Be sure to ask the customer in detail about the following points concerning the vehicle operating conditions, environment and problem, and then check for DTCs.
(a) If the entry lock/unlock function does not operate for all doors.
(b) If the entry lock function does not operate.
(c) If the entry unlock function does not operate.
(d) If both the entry lock and unlock functions do not operate.
(e) If the wireless lock and unlock functions do not operate.
(f) If there is no power even when the engine switch is pressed [does not turn on (ACC)].
(g) If the engine does not start with the entry ignition function.
(h) If the outside warning buzzers do not sound.
(i) If the customer attempted to start the engine by touching the electrical key transmitter to the engine switch and pressing the engine switch.
(j) If the steering lock does not unlock.
(k) Any other details concerning the problem.
* If it is thought that electric wave interference is likely, be sure to ask the customer in detail about the following points concerning the vehicle operating conditions, environment and problem.
(a) Specific locations where the system does not operate (such as near TV towers, large video displays, wireless garage door opener systems, wireless security cameras, home security systems, etc.).
(b) Specific times when the system does not operate:
Whether or not symptoms occurred immediately after purchase or only recently.
Whether or not the symptoms occurred even when the electrical key transmitter was near the vehicle (electrical key antenna).
(c) If the system does not operate only when near specific vehicles (there may be an effect from electric waves from the wireless systems of other vehicles).
(d) If the system operates intermittently.
(e) If the electrical key transmitter is bundled together with other items.
(f) If the electrical key transmitter is carried together with other electronic devices, such as cell phones, personal computers, portable music players, other electrical key transmitters, etc. (keep the electrical key transmitter at least 0.1 m (0.33 ft.) away from such items).
(g) Where the electrical key transmitter is being kept when not in use:
Whether or not the electrical key transmitter is being placed within 1 m (3.28 ft.) of items such as TVs, DVD recorders, induction cookers, rice cookers, dishwashers, modems, cell phones, personal computers, microwave ovens, desk or floor lamps, cordless telephones, etc.
(h) If there are electronic devices that transmit electric waves placed in the vehicle.
(i) When the transmitter battery was last replaced (when the battery is low).
The transmitter battery can be checked using the "Key Low Battery" item in the Data List Operation Check.
(j) If the customer installed any optional components (theft deterrent devices, wireless fog lights, etc.) to the vehicle.

3. INSPECT BATTERY VOLTAGE

Standard voltage:

11 to 14 V

If the voltage is below 11 V, recharge or replace the battery before proceeding.

HINT
A simple method to determine whether the battery is depleted is to operate the horn.

6. CHECK FOR DTC*

(a) Recheck for DTCs Smart Key System (for Entry Function). Based on the DTCs output, proceed to each system's DTC procedure.

Result





B -- Go to STEERING LOCK SYSTEM Steering Lock System

C -- Go to ENGINE IMMOBILISER SYSTEM Engine Immobilizer System (W/ Smart Key System)

D -- Go to DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART Smart Key System (for Entry Function)
A -- Continue to next step.

B -- Go to step 9
A -- Continue to next step.

8. OVERALL ANALYSIS AND TROUBLESHOOTING*

(a) Operation Check Operation Check.

(b) Check Data List / Active Test Smart Key System (for Entry Function).

(c) Check Terminals of ECU Smart Key System (for Entry Function).

NEXT -- Continue to next step.

9. REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT
