Title: THEFT DETERRENT / KEYLESS ENTRY: SMART KEY SYSTEM (for Entry Function, Gasoline Model): Back Door Entry Lock and Unlock Functions do not Operate; 2020 - 2022 MY Corolla Corolla Hatchback GR Corolla [03/2019 - 09/2022]

Back Door Entry Lock and Unlock Functions do not Operate

DESCRIPTION

If the entry lock and unlock functions do not operate for the back door only, the request code may not be being transmitted from the back door. If the entry functions for other doors operate properly, communication between the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly and door control receiver is normal. In this case, there may be a problem with request code transmission (communication between the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) and electrical key antenna (outside luggage compartment)) or there may be wave interference.

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 Entry Function) uses the CAN communication system. Inspect the communication function by following How to Proceed with Troubleshooting. Troubleshoot the smart key system (for Entry Function) after confirming that the communication systems are functioning properly.

  • After repair, confirm that no DTCs are output.
  • Check that there are no electrical key transmitter sub-assemblies in the vehicle.

HINT:

  • If the back door entry lock and unlock function does not operate, the cause of the malfunction may be stored in the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly).
  • If the cause of the malfunction is stored in the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly), the following table is helpful in checking whether the malfunction was caused by wave interference.

Operation History

PROCEDURE

1.

CHECK POWER DOOR LOCK CONTROL SYSTEM

(a) When the door control switch on the multiplex network master switch assembly is operated, check that the back door lock and unlock according to the switch operation.

OK:

Back door lock/unlock operate normally.

NG

GO TO POWER DOOR LOCK CONTROL SYSTEM

OK

2.

CHECK WAVE ENVIRONMENT

(a) Bring the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly approximately 0.3 m (0.984 ft.) from the electrical key antenna (outside luggage compartment) and perform an entry back door open/lock function check.

HINT:

  • Communication may not be possible if the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is within 0.2 m (0.656 ft.) of the electrical key antenna (outside luggage compartment)
  • When the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is brought near the electrical key antenna (outside luggage compartment), the possibility of wave interference decreases, and it can be determined if wave interference is causing the problem symptom.
  • If the inspection result is that the problem only occurs in certain locations or at certain times of day, the possibility of wave interference is high. Also, added vehicle components may cause wave interference. If installed, remove them and perform the operation check.
  • There may be wave interference if the vehicle is near broadcasting antennas, large video displays, wireless garage door opener systems, wireless security cameras, home security systems, etc. In this case, move the vehicle to a different location and check if there is any improvement.
  • If a tool for checking radio waves, such as a signal strength meter, is available, move around the area while observing both the LF band (used by the vehicle antenna to form the detection area) and RF band (used by the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly for transmission) to check for locations where there is wave interference.

READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (TR/B DOOR LOCK SW, TR/B DOOR UNLOCK SW)

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the engine switch on (IG).

(c) Turn the Techstream on.

(d) Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Smart Key / Data List.

(e) Read the Data List according to the display on the Techstream.

CHECK KEY DIAGNOSTIC MODE

(a) Check the following antenna in key diagnostic mode.

Tester Display

Communication Check(Key Diag Mode)

(b) Select either channel 1 or channel 2 and perform the key diagnostic mode inspection for each channel.

(1) Check the electrical key antenna (outside luggage compartment):

When the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is brought within 0.7 to 1 m (2.30 to 3.28 ft.) of the electrical key antenna (outside luggage compartment), check that the wireless buzzer sounds.

HINT:

  • Select either channel 1 or channel 2 and perform the key diagnostic mode inspection for each channel.
  • If the buzzer sounds with [CH1] displayed but not with [CH2], the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly cannot be detected by channel 2 due to a malfunction, such as wave interference.
