Title: THEFT DETERRENT / KEYLESS ENTRY: SMART KEY SYSTEM (for Start Function): Power Source Mode does not Change to ON (READY); 2023 - 2024 MY Camry HV [08/2022 -        ]

Power Source Mode does not Change to ON (READY)

DESCRIPTION

When the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is in the cabin and the power switch is pressed, the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) receives a signal and changes the power source mode. Additionally, when the shift lever is in P and the brake pedal is depressed, the hybrid control system can be started by pressing the power switch.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

  • When using the Techstream with the power 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.
  • The smart key system (for Start 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 Start Function) after confirming that the communication systems are functioning properly.
