Title: THEFT DETERRENT / KEYLESS ENTRY: ENGINE IMMOBILISER SYSTEM(w/ Smart Key System): B279986; Engine Immobiliser System Signal (Some Circuit Quantity, Reported via Serial Data) Invalid; 2017 - 2020 MY Sienna [08/2016 -        ]

DTC

B279986

Engine Immobiliser System Signal (Some Circuit Quantity, Reported via Serial Data) Invalid

DESCRIPTION

This DTC is stored when one of the following occurs: 1) the ECM detects an error in its own communication with the certification ECU; 2) the ECM detects an error in the communication lines; or 3) the ECU communication ID between the certification ECU and ECM is different when an engine start is attempted.

HINT:

Before troubleshooting this DTC, make sure that no certification ECU DTCs are present. If present, troubleshoot the certification ECU DTCs first.

DTC No.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

If the certification ECU is replaced, register the key (See page 2017 - 2020 MY Sienna [08/2016 -        ]; THEFT DETERRENT / KEYLESS ENTRY: ENGINE IMMOBILISER SYSTEM(w/ Smart Key System): REGISTRATION ).

PROCEDURE

1.

CHECK DTC OUTPUT

(a) Clear the DTCs (See page 2017 - 2020 MY Sienna [08/2016 -        ]; THEFT DETERRENT / KEYLESS ENTRY: ENGINE IMMOBILISER SYSTEM(w/ Smart Key System): DTC CHECK / CLEAR ).

(b) Recheck for DTCs (See page 2017 - 2020 MY Sienna [08/2016 -        ]; THEFT DETERRENT / KEYLESS ENTRY: ENGINE IMMOBILISER SYSTEM(w/ Smart Key System): DTC CHECK / CLEAR ).

OK:

DTC B279986 is not output.

OK

USE SIMULATION METHOD TO CHECK

(See page 2017 MY Sienna [08/2016 - 11/2017]; INTRODUCTION: HOW TO TROUBLESHOOT ECU CONTROLLED SYSTEMS: HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING 2018 - 2020 MY Sienna [11/2017 -        ]; INTRODUCTION: HOW TO TROUBLESHOOT ECU CONTROLLED SYSTEMS: HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING )
