Lexus RX (RX 350L, RX450h) 2016-2025 Repair Manual: Open in Inside Luggage Compartment Electrical Key Oscillator Circuit (B27A7)

Lexus RX (RX 350L, RX450h) 2016-2025 Repair Manual / Vehicle Interior / Theft Deterrent / Keyless Entry / Smart Access System With Push-button Start (for Entry Function) / Open in Inside Luggage Compartment Electrical Key Oscillator Circuit (B27A7)

DESCRIPTION

The certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) generates a request signal and transmits the signal to the No. 3 indoor electrical key antenna assembly (inside luggage compartment). For the No. 3 indoor electrical key antenna assembly (inside luggage compartment) to detect when the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is in the cabin, the signal from the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) requesting a response from the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is transmitted inside the vehicle. DTC B27A7 is stored by the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) when an open is detected between the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) and No. 3 indoor electrical key antenna assembly (inside luggage compartment) (between terminals CLG7 and ANTE7, or terminals CG7B and CLGB).

  • 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 Precaution.
