DTC

B27A1

Open in Driver Side Electrical Antenna Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) generates a request signal and sends it to the electrical key oscillator built into the front door outside handle assembly (for driver side) at 0.25-second intervals. To detect a key near the driver door, the front door outside handle assembly (for driver side) creates a detection area with a radius of approximately 1.0 m (3.28 ft.) from the driver door at 0.25-second intervals.

DTC B27A1 is detected by the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) if an open circuit is detected between the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) and front door outside handle assembly (for driver side) terminals (between CLG1 and ANT1, or CG1B and ANT2).

DTC No.

DTC Detection Condition

Trouble Area

B27A1

Open circuit detected between the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) and front door outside handle assembly (for driver side) terminals (between CLG1 and ANT1, or CG1B and ANT2).

  • Front door outside handle assembly (for driver side)
  • Certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly)
  • Wire harness or connector

WIRING DIAGRAM

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

The smart key system (for entry function) uses a multiplex communication system (LIN communication system) and CAN communication system. Inspect the communication function by following How to Proceed with Troubleshooting (See page 2016 - 2020 MY Sienna [12/2015 -        ]; THEFT DETERRENT / KEYLESS ENTRY: SMART KEY SYSTEM(for Entry Function): HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING ). Troubleshoot the smart key system (for entry function) after confirming that the communication system is functioning properly.

PROCEDURE

1.

CHECK CONNECTOR (CONNECTION CONDITION)

(a) Turn the engine switch off.

(b) Check that the connectors are properly connected to the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) and the front door outside handle assembly (for driver side).

OK:

Connectors are properly connected.

CONNECT CONNECTORS PROPERLY

OK

2.

CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (CERTIFICATION ECU - FRONT DOOR OUTSIDE HANDLE)

(a) Disconnect the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) connector.

(b) Disconnect the front door outside handle assembly (for driver side) connector.

(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
