    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. CHECK AND REPLACE ELECTRICAL KEY OSCILLATOR (CHECK OPERATION OF OSCILLATOR) 
    1. Replace the electrical key oscillator.
    2. Check that the entry UNLOCK function operates normally.

      OK: 

      Entry UNLOCK function operates normally. 

    OK: END (ELECTRICAL KEY OSCILLATOR IS DEFECTIVE) 

    NG: Go to next step 

  4. INSPECT CERTIFICATION ECU 
    1. Reconnect the ECU and the oscillator connectors.
    2. Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
    3. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
    4. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Voltage: 

      Front LH side
