HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

  • Do not perform "Smart Code Reset" (all key ID erasure) until all malfunctions and symptoms have been confirmed and resolved. If all key ID erasure is performed without confirming or resolving malfunctions, key registration will be unable to be performed, resulting in unnecessary part replacement.
  • Make sure that the smart key system has not been disabled by a customize setting.

HINT:

  • Replace parts related to the wireless door lock control system and smart key system according to the inspection procedure.
  • If the wireless door lock control system and smart key system do not operate, check the customize settings and make sure that the wireless door lock control system and smart key system are not disabled.
  • The wireless door lock control system and smart key system primarily use the following systems.
    • Power door lock control system
    • Wireless door lock control system
    • Smart key system (for Entry Function)
    • Smart key system (for Start Function)
      • Immobiliser function
  • If 2 or more electrical key transmitter sub-assemblies are registered to the system, make sure to perform troubleshooting with all of them.

PROCEDURE

1.

VEHICLE BROUGHT TO WORKSHOP

(a) Confirm how the vehicle was brought to the workshop.

  • Vehicle was driven.
  • Vehicle was towed.

HINT:

The cause of the malfunction may be narrowed down by confirming whether the vehicle was driven or towed.

2.

CUSTOMER PROBLEM ANALYSIS

HINT:

  • In troubleshooting, confirm that the problem symptoms have been accurately identified. Preconceptions should be discarded in order to make an accurate judgment. To clearly understand what the problem symptoms are, it is extremely important to ask the customer about the problem and the conditions at the time the malfunction occurred.
  • Gather as much information as possible for reference. Past malfunctions that seem unrelated may also help in some cases.
  • The following 5 items are important points for problem analysis:

    What

    Vehicle model, system name

    When

    Date and time, frequency, whether the problem occurred recently or has been occurring for a long time

    Where

    Whether the problem occurs at specified location

    Under what conditions?

    Whether the doors were locked or unlocked, whether the engine switch was on (IG), whether the engine was running

    How did it happen?

    Ask the customer for details about the vehicle operating conditions, environment and malfunction.

(b) Check for blown fuses, open or shorted wire harnesses, improperly connected connectors and other problems in areas that can be visually inspected.

(c) Check the connection of each connector and check them for deformation or damage.
