Title: THEFT DETERRENT / KEYLESS ENTRY: SMART KEY SYSTEM (for Entry Function, Gasoline Model): Front Passenger Side Door Entry Lock Function does not Operate; 2019 - 2022 MY Avalon [04/2018 -        ]

Front Passenger Side Door Entry Lock Function does not Operate

DESCRIPTION

If the entry lock function does not operate for the front passenger door only, but the entry unlock function operates, the request code is being transmitted properly from the for passenger door. In this case, there may be a problem related to the lock sensor (connection between the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) and front door outside handle assembly (for front passenger door)).

WIRING DIAGRAM

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

  • The smart key system (for Entry Function, Gasoline Model) uses the CAN communication system. Inspect the communication function by following How to Proceed with Troubleshooting. Troubleshoot the smart key system (for Entry Function, Gasoline Model) 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 Precaution.

  • After repair, confirm that no DTCs are output.

PROCEDURE

1.

CHECK POWER DOOR LOCK CONTROL SYSTEM

(a) When the door control switch on the multiplex network master switch assembly is operated, check that the doors unlock and lock according to the switch operation.

OK:

Door locks operate normally.

GO TO POWER DOOR LOCK CONTROL SYSTEM

OK

2.

READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (P-DOOR TRIGGER SWITCH)

(a) Turn the engine switch off.

(b) Open and close the front passenger door.

(c) Hold the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly at the same height as the door outside handle assembly and approximately 0.3 m (0.984 ft.) from the front passenger door.

(d) Read the Data List according to the display on the Techstream.

(e) Touch the lock sensor of the front door outside handle assembly (for front passenger door).

HINT:

  • If the door does not lock even when touching the lock sensor, touch it with your palm.
  • When checking the operation of the lock sensor again, make sure to perform the procedure from step (a).

HINT:

When checking the operation of the entry lock function several times, it can be operated up to 2 times consecutively. To operate the function 3 times or more consecutively, the doors need to be unlocked once. However, this is only for the entry lock function, other door lock operations, such as a wireless door lock operation can be performed consecutively.

OK:

The Techstream display changes correctly in response to the operation of the front door outside handle assembly (for front passenger door).
