Title: THEFT DETERRENT / KEYLESS ENTRY: SMART KEY SYSTEM (for Entry Function): Luggage Compartment Door Entry Unlock Function does not Operate when Key is Outside Luggage Compartment; 2018 - 2024 MY Camry [03/2017 -        ]

Luggage Compartment Door Entry Unlock Function does not Operate when Key is Outside Luggage Compartment

DESCRIPTION

If the entry luggage compartment door open function does not operate, there may be a malfunction in the luggage electrical key switch circuit or certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly), which receives a signal from the luggage electrical key switch circuit, or a communication error between the vehicle (electrical key antenna (outside luggage compartment)) and electrical key transmitter sub-assembly.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

  • The smart key system (for Entry Function) uses the LIN communication system and CAN communication system. Inspect the communication function by following How to Proceed with Troubleshooting. Troubleshoot the smart key system (for Entry Function) after confirming that the communication systems are functioning properly.

  • When using the Techstream with the engine switch off, connect the Techstream to the DLC3 and turn a courtesy light switch on and off at intervals of 1.5 seconds or less until communication between the Techstream and the vehicle begins. Then select the vehicle type under manual mode and enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Smart Key. While using the Techstream, periodically turn a courtesy light switch on and off at intervals of 1.5 seconds or less to maintain communication between the Techstream and the vehicle.
  • Check that there are no electrical key transmitter sub-assemblies in the vehicle.
  • Before replacing the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly), refer to smart key system (for Entry Function) Precaution.

  • After repair, confirm that no DTCs are output by performing "DTC Output Confirmation Operation".

HINT:

  • If the entry luggage compartment open functions does not operate, the cause of the malfunction may be stored in the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly).
  • If the cause of the malfunction is stored in the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly), the following table is helpful in checking whether the malfunction was caused by wave interference.

CHECK WAVE ENVIRONMENT

(a) Bring the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly approximately 0.3 m (0.984 ft.) from the electrical key antenna (outside luggage compartment) and perform an entry luggage compartment open function check.

HINT:

  • Communication may not be possible if the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is brought within 0.2 m (0.656 ft.) of the rear bumper.
  • When the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is brought near the electrical key antenna (outside luggage compartment), 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.

OK:

Entry functions operate normally.

CHECK KEY DIAGNOSTIC MODE

(a) Check the following antenna in key diagnostic mode.

Communication Check(Key Diag Mode)

(b) When the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is brought within 0.7 to 1 m (2.30 to 3.28 ft.) of the electrical key antenna (outside luggage compartment), check that the wireless buzzer sounds.

HINT:

  • Select either channel 1 or channel 2 and inspect key diagnostic mode 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.

OK:

Wireless buzzer sounds.
