CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

  • Before performing the inspection, check that DTC B278187, B278987 or B278C87 is not output.

  • When using the GTS with the ignition switch off, perform lock and unlock operations using the door control switch of the multiplex network master switch assembly at intervals of 1.5 seconds or less until communication between the GTS and the vehicle begins, and then select the vehicle model manually.

    Then select Model Code "KEY REGIST" under manual mode and enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Smart Key (CAN). While using the GTS, periodically perform lock and unlock operations using the door control switch of the multiplex network master switch assembly at intervals of 1.5 seconds or less to maintain communication between the GTS and the vehicle.

  • Before replacing the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly), ID code box (immobiliser code ECU) or steering lock ECU (steering lock actuator with ECU assembly), refer to Registration.
