      1. Check that the entry unlock function.
        1. Turn the ignition switch off.
        2. Open and close the rear door RH.
        3. With the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly outside of the vehicle, press the lock switch of the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly to lock all of the doors.
        4. Hold the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly at the same height as the door outside handle assembly and approximately 0.3 m (0.984 ft.) from the rear door RH.
        5. Check that the LED of the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly blinks.
        6. Touch the unlock sensor on the backside of the rear door outside handle assembly (for front passenger side) for 2 seconds or more.*
        1. *: Perform this step 3 seconds or more after performing step (3).

    GO TO CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS (VEHICLE CONTROL HISTORY (ROB)) 

    Refer to CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS [11/2021 - ]

    Result: 

    See step  3

  3. 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 (for front passenger side) and perform an entry function check.

      Refer to OPERATION CHECK [11/2021 - ]

      HINT: 

      • Communication may not be possible if the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is within 0.2 m (0.656 ft.) of the rear door outside handle assembly (for front passenger side).
      • When the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is brought near the rear door outside handle assembly (for front passenger side), the possibility of wave interference decreases, and it can be determined if wave interference is causing the problem symptom.
      • 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.
      • There may be wave interference if the vehicle is near broadcasting antennas, large video displays, wireless garage door opener systems, wireless security cameras, home security systems, etc. In this case, move the vehicle to a different location and check if there is any improvement.
      • If a tool for checking radio waves, such as a signal strength meter, is available, move around the area while observing both the LF band (used by the vehicle antenna to form the detection area) and RF band (used by the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly for transmission) to check for locations where there is wave interference.
      • When checking the operation of the entry lock function several times, it can be operated up to 2 times consecutively. To operate the function 3 times or more consecutively, the doors need to be unlocked once. However, this is only for the entry lock function, other door lock operations, such as a wireless door lock operation can be performed consecutively.
