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) 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.

Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.
After repair, confirm that no DTCs are output by performing "DTC Output Confirmation Operation".

PROCEDURE

1.	CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (POWER SOURCE)

(a) Disconnect the I1 certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) connector.

(b) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Voltage:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
I1-3 (+B) - Body ground	Always	11 to 14 V

NG

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR IN CIRCUIT CONNECTED TO POWER SOURCE

OK

2.	CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (GROUND)

(a) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
I1-18 (E) - Body ground	Always	Below 1 Ω

OK

END (TEMPORARY CONNECTION FAILURE IS SUSPECTED)

NG

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR IN CIRCUIT CONNECTED TO POWER SOURCE
