Rear Door LH Entry Lock and Unlock Functions do not Operate (07/2015 -): Procedure

  1. CHECK POWER DOOR LOCK CONTROL SYSTEM 
    1. When the door control switch on the multiplex network master switch assembly is operated, check that the doors unlock and lock according to the switch operation (Refer to OPERATION CHECK (07/2015 -) ).

      OK

      Door locks operate normally.

    Result:  NG

    NG 

    GO TO POWER DOOR LOCK CONTROL SYSTEM 

    (Refer to HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING (07/2015 -) )

    Result:  OK

    OK 

    See step  2

  2. CHECK WAVE ENVIRONMENT 
    1. Bring the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly approximately 0.3 m (0.984 ft.) from the rear door outside handle assembly LH (for rear door LH) and perform an entry function check (Refer to OPERATION CHECK (07/2015 -) ).

      *a Approximately 0.3 m (0.984 ft.)
      NOTE:

      Communication may not be possible if the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is within 0.2 m (0.657 ft.) of the door handle.

      HINT: 

      If the inspection result is that the problem only occurs in certain locations or at certain times of day, the possibility of wave interference is high. Also, added vehicle components may cause wave interference. If installed, remove them and perform the operation check.

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (REAR DOOR OUTSIDE HANDLE ASSEMBLY LH - CERTIFICATION ECU AND BODY GROUND) 
    1. Disconnect the O8 rear door outside handle assembly LH (for rear door LH) connector.
    2. Disconnect the Q1 certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      O8-3 (ANT2) - Q1-13 (CG3B) Always Below 1 Ω
      O8-6 (ANT1) - Q1-12 (CLG3) Always Below 1 Ω
      O8-5 (B) - Q1-20 (POS3) Always Below 1 Ω
      O8-2 (GND) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω
      A36-11 (E) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω
      O8-3 (ANT2) or Q1-13 (CG3B) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      O8-6 (ANT1) or Q1-12 (CLG3) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      O8-5 (B) or Q1-20 (POS3) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    Result:  NG

    NG 

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    Result:  OK

    OK 

    See step  4

  4. CHECK CERTIFICATION ECU (SMART KEY ECU ASSEMBLY) (OUTPUT TO REAR DOOR LH ELECTRICAL KEY ANTENNA) 
    1. Disconnect the O8 rear door outside handle assembly LH (for rear door LH) connector.
