Title: THEFT DETERRENT / KEYLESS ENTRY: SMART KEY SYSTEM (for Entry Function): All Door Entry Lock/Unlock Functions and Wireless Functions do not Operate; 2018 - 2024 MY Camry [03/2017 -        ]

All Door Entry Lock/Unlock Functions and Wireless Functions do not Operate

DESCRIPTION

If the entry lock and wireless door lock operations cannot be performed, the electrical key and tire pressure monitoring system receiver assembly may be malfunctioning, or there may be wave interference or problems in the communication which is used for the entry and wireless function between the electrical key and tire pressure monitoring system receiver assembly and certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly).

(1) Check the electrical key antenna (for driver door):

When the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is brought within 0.7 to 1 m (2.30 to 3.28 ft.) of the front door outside handle assembly (for driver door), check that the wireless buzzer sounds.

HINT:

  • Select either channel 1 or channel 2 and perform the key diagnostic mode inspection for each channel.
  • If the buzzer sounds with [CH1] displayed but not with [CH2], the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly cannot be detected by channel 2 due to a malfunction, such as wave interference.

*a

0.7 to 1 m (2.30 to 3.28 ft.)

(2) Check the electrical key antenna (for front passenger door):

When the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is brought within 0.7 to 1 m (2.30 to 3.28 ft.) of the front door outside handle assembly (for front passenger door), check that the wireless buzzer sounds.

HINT:

  • Select either channel 1 or channel 2 and perform the key diagnostic mode inspection for each channel.
  • If the buzzer sounds with [CH1] displayed but not with [CH2], the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly cannot be detected by channel 2 due to a malfunction, such as wave interference.

*a

0.7 to 1 m (2.30 to 3.28 ft.)

(3) Check the No. 1 indoor electrical key antenna assembly (front floor):

When the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is at either inspection point, check that the wireless buzzer sounds.

HINT:

  • Select either channel 1 or channel 2 and perform the key diagnostic mode inspection for each channel.
  • If the buzzer sounds with [CH1] displayed but not with [CH2], the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly cannot be detected by channel 2 due to a malfunction, such as wave interference.

*a

Inspection Point

(4) Check the No. 1 indoor electrical key antenna assembly (rear floor):

When the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is at either inspection point, check that the wireless buzzer sounds.

HINT:

  • Select either channel 1 or channel 2 and perform the key diagnostic mode inspection for each channel.
  • If the buzzer sounds with [CH1] displayed but not with [CH2], the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly cannot be detected by channel 2 due to a malfunction, such as wave interference.

*a

Inspection Point

(5) Check the No. 1 indoor electrical key antenna assembly (inside luggage compartment):

When the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is at either inspection point, check that the wireless buzzer sounds.

HINT:

  • Select either channel 1 or channel 2 and perform the key diagnostic mode inspection for each channel.
  • If the buzzer sounds with [CH1] displayed but not with [CH2], the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly cannot be detected by channel 2 due to a malfunction, such as wave interference.

CHECK WAVE ENVIRONMENT

(a) Bring the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly near the electrical key and tire pressure monitoring system receiver assembly and perform a wireless operation 2 or more times*.

  • *: When the wireless function is operated, channel 1 and 2 are used alternately. If the first wireless operation is performed successfully and the second wireless operation fails, wave interference may be occurring for either channel.

HINT:

  • When the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is brought near the electrical key and tire pressure monitoring system receiver assembly, 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.

CHECK TRANSMITTER BATTERY

(a) Check the transmitter battery level of the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly that was checked first.

(1) Press and hold the lock switch of the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly for 5 seconds and check the number of times that the LED illuminates.

HINT:

  • The electrical key transmitter sub-assembly sends voltage information to the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) when it is being used. "Yes" is displayed for the Data List item "Key Low Battery" when this voltage information indicates 2.2 V or less.

CHECK WAVE ENVIRONMENT

(a) Bring the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly near the electrical key and tire pressure monitoring system receiver assembly and perform a wireless operation 2 or more times*.

  • *: When the wireless function is operated, channel 1 and 2 are used alternately. If the first wireless operation is performed successfully and the second wireless operation fails, wave interference may be occurring for either channel.

HINT:

  • When the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is brought near the electrical key and tire pressure monitoring system receiver assembly, 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.
