Title: THEFT DETERRENT / KEYLESS ENTRY: SMART KEY SYSTEM (for Start Function, Gasoline Model): B27A5; Open in Front Floor Electrical Key Oscillator Circuit; 2019 - 2022 MY Corolla Corolla Hatchback GR Corolla [06/2018 - 09/2022]

DTC

B27A5

Open in Front Floor Electrical Key Oscillator Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) generates a request signal and transmits the signal to the No. 1 indoor electrical key antenna assembly (front floor). For the No. 1 indoor electrical key antenna assembly (front floor) to detect when the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is in the cabin, the signal from the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) requesting a response from the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is transmitted inside the vehicle. DTC B27A5 is stored by the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) when an open is detected between the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) and No. 1 indoor electrical key antenna assembly (front floor) (between terminals CLG5 and ANTE5, or terminals CG5B and CLGB).

DTC No.

Note

B27A5

Open in Front Floor Electrical Key Oscillator Circuit

An open is detected in the circuit between the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) and No. 1 indoor electrical key antenna assembly (front floor) (CLG5 - ANTE5, CG5B - CLGB) (1 trip detection logic*).
  • Certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly)
  • No. 1 indoor electrical key antenna assembly (front floor)
  • Wire harness or connector

DTC Output Confirmation Operation:

  • Any time
  • *: Only output while a malfunction is present.

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.
