System Description

  1. WIRELESS DOOR CONTROL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION 
    1. This system locks and unlocks the vehicle's doors remotely. The wireless control system has the following features:
      1. The door control receiver performs the code identification process and the theft warning ECU (theft warning ECU) operates the door lock control. A serial data link is provided for communication between the door control receiver and the theft warning ECU.
      2. A key-integrated type transmitter is used and it has a door lock switch, door unlock switch and luggage open switch.
      3. An LED is mounted on the transmitter to show if the battery is depleted.
  2. FUNCTION OF MAIN COMPONENTS 
    FUNCTION OF MAIN COMPONENTS CHART

    Component Outline
    Door control transmitter
    • Has LOCK, UNLOCK and LUGGAGE switches
    • Sends faint electric waves (ID codes, function codes) to door control receiver
    • When sending codes, indicator light illuminates
    Luggage compartment door lock Built-in luggage door opener motor rotates and luggage compartment door opens
    Door control receiver Receives faint electric waves (ID codes, function codes) from door control transmitter, changes waves to code data, and outputs data to theft warning ECU
    Unlock warning switch Detects if key is in ignition key cylinder
    Front door courtesy light switch Luggage compartment door courtesy light switch Turns on when door is open, turns off when door is closed. Outputs door status to each multiplex network door ECU front.
    Wireless door lock buzzer Emits beep (answer-back) when doors are locked or unlocked
  3. SYSTEM FUNCTION 
    1. Door lock / unlock operation
      1. With no key in the ignition key cylinder (KSW OFF) and all door courtesy light switches OFF, press the transmitter LOCK or UNLOCK switch. The transmitter will send a faint electrical wave to the door control receiver. The high frequency circuit built into the door control receiver changes the wave into code data, which is then output to the theft warning ECU.

        The theft warning ECU receives transmitter LOCK / UNLOCK switch signals through the serial communication line. The ECU then sends LOCK / UNLOCK signals to each seat's door ECU through the multiplex communication line. When each seat's door ECU receives a LOCK / UNLOCK signal, the door's lock position switch will change to ON or OFF.

    2. Luggage compartment door open operation
      1. With the unlock warning switch OFF, press the door control transmitter's LUGGAGE switch. Similar to the door lock /unlock operation, the following occurs: 1) the theft warning ECU receives the LUGGAGE switch signals through the serial communication line; 2) it sends the luggage compartment door open control signals to the luggage room junction block ECU through the multiplex communication line; and 3) the luggage door opener motor will open the luggage compartment door. Also, the luggage compartment door courtesy light turns on.
    3. Answer-back operation
      1. The door unlock detection switch changes from ON to OFF based on operational control signals. The theft warning ECU receives the ON and OFF status of the door unlock detection switch. Once the theft warning ECU receives confirmation that an operation has finished, the ECU: 1) sounds the wireless door lock buzzer, or 2) through the multiplex communication line, sends a hazard warning light output control signal to the driver side junction block ECU to blink the hazard warning lights.
    4. Remote panic function
      1. With no key in the ignition key cylinder (KSW OFF) and all door courtesy switches OFF, press and hold the door control transmitter LOCK (PANIC) switch for over 3 seconds. The following occurs: 1) the theft warning ECU activates an interior relay and the security horn sounds, and 2) the alarm control signals of the hazard warning lights, vehicle horns, security horn, headlights and taillights are sent to each control ECU, starting the theft deterrent alarm.
    5. The wireless door lock control system has the following functions:
      FUNCTION CHART

      Function Outline
      All door lock operation Pressing LOCK switch locks all doors
      Luggage door open operation Holding down LUGGAGE switch for longer than about 0.8 seconds opens luggage compartment door
      Power window open operation Holding down UNLOCK switch for longer than 2.5 seconds opens all power windows
      Answer-back operation
      • Hazard warning lights flash once when doors are locked and flash twice when doors are unlocked to inform that operation has been completed
      • Wireless door lock buzzer sounds once when doors are locked and sounds twice when doors are unlocked to inform that operation has been completed
      • When transmitter is used for opening luggage compartment door or power windows, this function causes buzzer to sound to inform that operation has been completed
      Remote panic function Holding down LOCK (PANIC) switch for longer than 3 seconds sets off theft deterrent alarm (security horn and vehicle horns sound, headlights, taillights and hazard warning lights flash)
      Automatic lock function If no doors are opened within 30 seconds after they are unlocked by transmitter, all doors will lock again automatically
      Repeat function if door is not locked in response to locking operation of transmitter, theft warning ECU will output lock signal after 1 second
      Illuminated entry function With all doors locked, pressing UNLOCK switch will cause simultaneous occurrence of: 1) map light illumination and 2) all door unlock operation
      Security function Sends operation signal as rolling code
      Door ajar warning function If any door is open or ajar, pressing LOCK switch will cause wireless door buzzer to sound for about 10 seconds
      Transmitter recognition code registration function Enables registering (writing and storing) of 4 transmitter recognition codes in EEPROM that is built into theft warning ECU
      Self-diagnosis If system has malfunction, theft warning ECU sets DTC in its memory
