Title: THEFT DETERRENT / KEYLESS ENTRY: SMART KEY SYSTEM (for Start Function, Gasoline Model): Engine does not Start; 2019 - 2021 MY RAV4 [11/2018 - 12/2021]

Engine does not Start

DESCRIPTION

When the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is in the cabin and the engine switch is pressed, the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) receives a signal and changes the power source mode. Additionally, when the shift state is park (P) and the brake pedal is depressed, the engine can be started by pressing the engine switch. If the steering is unlocked, the engine can also be started by pressing the engine switch with the shift state park (P) and the brake pedal depressed.

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.
  • If the smart key system (for Start Function) has been canceled, enable the system before performing troubleshooting.
