Title: THEFT DETERRENT / KEYLESS ENTRY: SMART KEY SYSTEM (for Start Function, HV Model): B279986; Engine Immobiliser System Signal (Some Circuit Quantity, Reported via Serial Data) Invalid; 2023 - 2025 MY Corolla Corolla HV [09/2022 -        ]

DTC

B279986

Engine Immobiliser System Signal (Some Circuit Quantity, Reported via Serial Data) Invalid

DESCRIPTION

If there is a communication malfunction between the hybrid vehicle control ECU and ID code box (immobiliser code ECU), or when the communication ID codes do not match, the hybrid vehicle control ECU stores this DTC.

DTC No.

Note

B279986

Engine Immobiliser System Signal (Some Circuit Quantity, Reported via Serial Data) Invalid

Either of the following conditions is met (1 trip detection logic*):

  • A malfunction is detected in the communication or communication lines between the hybrid vehicle control ECU and ID code box (immobiliser code ECU).
  • The communication ID codes of the hybrid vehicle control ECU and ID code box (immobiliser code ECU) do not match.
  • ID code box (immobiliser code ECU)
  • Hybrid vehicle control ECU
  • Wire harness or connector

DTC output confirmation operation (Perform either of the following):

  • Start the hybrid control system and wait for 10 seconds. If there is a malfunction, the hybrid control system will stop (communication begins within 3 seconds of the hybrid control system start operation being performed, and DTCs are stored after 6 seconds).
  • Connect the cable to the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal, start the hybrid control system and wait for 10 seconds (communication begins within 3 seconds of the ignition switch being turned to ON, and DTCs are stored after 6 seconds).
  • *: Only output while a malfunction is present.

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.
