WIRING DIAGRAM

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

When using the GTS with the ignition switch off, connect the GTS to the DLC3 and turn a courtesy light switch on and off at intervals of 1.5 seconds or less until communication between the GTS and the vehicle begins.
Then select Model Code "KEY REGIST" under manual mode and enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Start Key(CAN). While using the GTS, periodically turn a courtesy light switch on and off at intervals of 1.5 seconds or less to maintain communication between the GTS 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.

After repair, confirm that no DTCs are output by performing "DTC Output Confirmation Operation".

PROCEDURE

1.	CHECK FOR DTC

(a) Turn the ignition switch to ON and wait 25 seconds.

(b) Using the GTS, check for certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) DTCs.

Body Electrical > Power Source Control > Trouble Codes

OK:

DTC B228562 is not output simultaneously.

NG

GO TO DTC B228562

OK

2.	CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (CERTIFICATION ECU (SMART KEY ECU ASSEMBLY) - HYBRID VEHICLE CONTROL ECU)

(a) Disconnect the O175 certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) connector.

(b) Disconnect the I3 hybrid vehicle control ECU connector.

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

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
O175-2 (ST2) - I3-11 (ST2)	Always	Below 1 Ω
O175-2 (ST2) or I3-11 (ST2) - Other terminals and body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher

NG

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

OK

3.	CHECK CERTIFICATION ECU (SMART KEY ECU ASSEMBLY)

(a) Connect the O175 certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) connector.

(b) Connect the I3 hybrid vehicle control ECU connector.

*a	Component with harness connected (Certification ECU (Smart Key ECU Assembly))

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

Standard Voltage:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
O175-2 (ST2) - Body ground	With the brake pedal depressed, the power switch is pressed and held	8.5 V or higher
O175-2 (ST2) - Body ground	After approx. 3 sec. has elapsed, the power switch is released	1 V or less

OK

REPLACE HYBRID VEHICLE CONTROL ECU

NG

REPLACE CERTIFICATION ECU (SMART KEY ECU ASSEMBLY)
