11
  • Does the keyless entry system operate properly?
Yes Troubleshooting completed.
No Go to the next step.
12
NOTE:
  • Use a new monitor battery (normal battery) or one from another vehicle which operates normally.
  • Replace the battery in all the transmitters with a monitor-use battery (normal battery).

    (See ADVANCED KEY BATTERY REPLACEMENT [ADVANCED KEYLESS ENTRY AND PUSH BUTTON START SYSTEM] .)

  • For each transmitter, verify that the transmitter operation indicator light (LED) illuminates when a button is operated.
  • Does operation indicator light (LED) for each transmitter operate?
Yes Go to the next step.
No If the operation indicator light (LED) does not illuminate, replace the transmitter, then go to the Step 23.
13
NOTE:
  • Inspect for all transmitters.
  • Inspect while the batteries for all of the transmitters are replaced with monitor-use batteries (normal battery).
  • Verify the operation of keyless entry system using all of the transmitters.

(See ADVANCED KEY BATTERY REPLACEMENT [ADVANCED KEYLESS ENTRY AND PUSH BUTTON START SYSTEM] .)
No Go to the next step.
14
  • Inspect for the keyless receiver installation.
  • Is the bracket securely installed on the keyless receiver?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Install the bracket securely, and then go to the next step.
15
  • Switch the ignition to off.
  • Measure the voltage at keyless receiver terminal D?
  • Is the voltage B+  ?
Yes Go to the next step.
No
  • Inspect ROOM 15 A fuse.
  • Inspect and repair the wiring harness between the fuse block and the keyless receiver as necessary.
  • Then go to Step 23.
16
  • Measure the voltage at keyless receiver terminal B?
  • Is the voltage below 1.0  ?
Yes Go to the next step.
No
  • Inspect and repair the wiring harness between the ground wire and the keyless receiver as necessary.
  • Re-tighten the ground wire as necessary.
  • Then go to Step 23.
17
  • Disconnect the keyless receiver connector (4-pin) and keyless control module connector (12-pin).
  • Is there continuity between the following terminals?
    • Keyless receiver connector terminal C-keyless control module connector terminal 2H
Yes Go to the next step.
No Inspect and repair the wiring harness between the keyless control module and the keyless receiver, then go to the next step.
18
  • Measure the signal wave pattern of keyless control module terminal 2H using an oscilloscope while the transmitter advanced key is operated with the auxiliary key removed from the ignition key cylinder.
  • Does the wave pattern change when the advanced key is operated?
