Title: THEFT DETERRENT / KEYLESS ENTRY: SMART KEY SYSTEM (for Start Function, Gasoline Model): CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS; 2019 - 2022 MY Avalon [04/2018 -        ]

CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS

NOTICE:

  • Operation history is stored in the RAM or EEPROM of the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly). As the cause of a malfunction stored in the RAM will be cleared when the cable is disconnected from the negative (-) battery terminal, do not disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal before checking and recording are complete.
  • If the vehicle or vehicle controls are operated (for example, during initial inspection when the vehicle is brought in for repair) before operation history has been read and saved, the operation history information could be lost.
  • The operation history function uses the current system time of the Techstream and the time counter inside the controlling ECU to calculate the time shown in the operation history. For this reason, before reading the operation history, first make sure that the Techstream system clock is accurately set to the current time.
