DTC

B27841C

Antenna Coil Circuit Voltage Out of Range

DESCRIPTION

When an open or short circuit is detected in the transponder key amplifier coil built into the power switch, the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) stores this DTC. This DTC is also stored as a history DTC.

DTC No.

Note

B27841C

Antenna Coil Circuit Voltage Out of Range

The transponder key amplifier coil built into the power switch is open (see below) or shorted (determined by communication with certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly)). (1 trip detection logic*)

  • Power switch
  • Certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly)
  • Wire harness or connector

DTC output confirmation operation:

  • With the shift position in P and the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly held near the power switch, a hybrid control system start operation is performed by pressing and holding the power switch when the transmitter battery is depleted.
  • *: Only output while a malfunction is present.

Vehicle Condition and Fail-safe Operation when Malfunction Detected

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.
