Keyless Access System Touch Sensor Circuit Troubleshooting (2014 - 2015)

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. Keyless access system check:

    - 1. Select KEYLESS ACCESS CONTROL UNIT from the ONE-PUSH START system select menu with the HDS, and enter HISTORY DATA.

    - 2. Select HISTORY CLEAR, and back to TEST MODE menu:

    NOTE:  When the freeze data is cleared, the information indicates "NOT CONFIRMED".

    • DRIVER DOOR UNLOCK SWITCH
    • DRIVER DOOR LOCK SWITCH
    • FRONT PASSENGER DOOR UNLOCK SWITCH
    • FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LOCK SWITCH

    - 3. Press the engine start/stop button to select the OFF mode.

    - 4. Get out of the vehicle with the keyless remote, and touch the driver's or front passenger's door outer handle touch sensor and push the lock button.

    - 5. Select KEYLESS ACCESS CONTROL UNIT from the ONE-PUSH START system select menu with the HDS, and enter HISTORY DATA.

    - 6. Recheck HISTORY DATA.

    • DRIVER DOOR UNLOCK SWITCH
    • DRIVER DOOR LOCK SWITCH
    • FRONT PASSENGER DOOR UNLOCK SWITCH
    • FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LOCK SWITCH

    Is all the information OK?

    YES 

    Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time.

    NO 

    Go to step 2.

  2. Open wire check (GND lines):

    - 1. Disconnect the following connectors.

    Each door outer handle 8P connector

    - 2. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2 individually.

    Driver's door

    Test condition OFF mode Driver's door outer handle 8P connector: disconnected
    Test circuit GND
    Test point 1 Driver's door outer handle 8P connector No. 8 (BLK)
    Test point 2 Body ground

    Front passenger's door

    Test condition OFF mode Front passenger's door outer handle 8P connector: disconnected
    Test circuit GND
    Test point 1 Front passenger's door outer handle 8P connector No. 8 (BLK)
    Test point 2 Body ground

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    The GND wires are OK. Go to step 3.

    NO 

    Repair an open or high resistance in the ground wire or poor ground (G502, G504).

  3. Determine possible failure area (TS_FR line, VOUT_FR lines):

    - 1. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2 individually.

    Driver's door

    Test condition OFF mode Driver's door outer handle 8P connector: disconnected
    Test circuit VOUT_FR_DR
    Test point 1 Driver's door outer handle 8P connector No. 4 (RED)
    Test point 2 Body ground

    Front passenger's door

    Test condition OFF mode Front passenger's door outer handle 8P connector: disconnected
    Test circuit VOUT_FR_AS
    Test point 1 Front passenger's door outer handle 8P connector No. 4 (RED)
    Test point 2 Body ground

    Is there battery voltage?

    YES 

    Go to step4.

    NO 

    Go to step 7.

  4. Open wire check (TS_FR_DR, TS_FR_AS lines):

    - 1. Disconnect the following connector.

    Keyless access control unit connector A (32P)

    - 2. Connect terminals A and B with jumper wires.

    Driver's door

    Terminal A Driver's door outer handle 8P connector No. 3 (PUR)
    Terminal B Body ground

    - 3. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2 individually.

    Test condition OFF mode Each door outer handle 8P connector: disconnectedEach door outer handle 8P connector: jumped to body ground Keyless access control unit connector A (32P): disconnected
    Test circuit TS_FR_DR
    Test point 1 Keyless access control unit connector A (32P) No. 14 (PUR)
    Test point 2 Body ground
    Test circuit TS_FR_AS
    Test point 1 Keyless access control unit connector A (32P) No. 7 (PUR)
    Test point 2 Body ground
    GHH119468Courtesy of HONDA, U.S.A., INC.

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    The TS_FR_DR and TS_FR_AS wires are not open. Go to step 5.

    NO 

    Repair an open or high resistance in the wire.

  5. Shorted wire check (TS_FR_DR, TS_FR_AS lines):

    - 1. Remove the jumper wire from the touch sensor.

    - 2. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2 individually.

    Test condition OFF mode Each door outer handle 8P connector: disconnected Keyless access control unit connector A (32P): disconnected
    Test circuit TS_FR_DR
    Test point 1 Keyless access control unit connector A (32P) No. 14 (PUR)
    Test point 2 Body ground
    Test circuit TS_FR_AS
    Test point 1 Keyless access control unit connector A (32P) No. 7 (PUR)
    Test point 2 Body ground
    GHH119469Courtesy of HONDA, U.S.A., INC.

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    Repair a short to ground in the wire.

    NO 

    The TS_FR_DR and TS_FR_AS wires are OK. Go to step 6.

  6. Door outer handle check (substitution):

    - 1. Substitute a known-good door outer handle touch sensor, and recheck.

    Is the system OK?

    YES 

    Faulty the original door outer handle touch sensor; replace the door outer handle .

    NO 

    Replace the keyless access control unit .

  7. Open wire check (VOUT_FR_DR, VOUT_FR_AS lines):

    - 1. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2 individually.
