Note

B2784

Antenna Coil Open / Short

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

  • Terminal AGND, VC5, TXCT or CODE circuit is open (including disconnection of the engine switch).
  • The transponder key amplifier coil built into the engine switch is open.
  • Engine switch
  • Certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly)
  • Wire harness or connector

DTC output confirmation operation:

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

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 Access. 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.
  • Before replacing the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly), refer to Registration.
