Title: THEFT DETERRENT / KEYLESS ENTRY: SMART KEY SYSTEM (for Start Function, Gasoline Model): Security Indicator Light Does not Blink; 2019 - 2022 MY Avalon [04/2018 -        ]

Security Indicator Light Does not Blink

DESCRIPTION

  • The certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) blinks the security indicator light (radio and display receiver assembly) when the immobiliser is set (engine switch off).
  • The certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) receives the security indicator light signal from the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) via CAN communication when the theft deterrent system is in the arming preparation state or alarm sounding state. Then, the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) blinks the security indicator light (radio and display receiver assembly).

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

  • 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.
  • The smart key system (for Start Function, Gasoline Model) 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, Gasoline Model) after confirming that the communication systems are functioning properly.
