Door Control Transmitter: Inspection
- INSPECT DOOR CONTROL TRANSMITTER
- Inspect operation of the transmitter
- Remove the battery (lithium battery) from the transmitter (See REMOVAL )
- Install a new or known good battery (lithium battery)
HINT
If a new or known good battery is not available, first connect 2 new 15V batteries in series Then connect leads to the batteries and apply 3 V to the transmitter, as shown in the illustration
- From outside the vehicle, approximately 1 m (3 28 ft) away from the driver side outside door handle, test the transmitter by pointing its key plate at the vehicle and pressing a transmitter switch
OK: The door lock can be operated via the transmitter.
The LED comes on more than once.
- The operational area differs depending on the user, the way the transmitter is held, and the location
- The transmitter's faint electric waves may be affected if the area has strong electric waves or noise The transmitter's operation area may be shortened or the transmitter may not function
- Inspect the battery capacity
- Remove the battery from the electrical key transmitter that does not operate. Attach a lead wire (0 6 mm (0 0236 in) in diameter or less including wire sheath) with tape or equivalent to the negative terminal (See REMOVAL
)NOTE: Do not wrap the lead wire around a terminal, wedge it between the terminals, or solder it. A terminal may be deformed or damaged, and the battery will not be able to be installed correctly.
- Carefully pull the lead wire out from the position shown in the illustration and install the previously removed transmitter battery
- Using an oscilloscope, check the transmitter battery voltage waveform
HINT
When measuring the battery voltage, while operating the lock switch of a door handle, bring the electrical key transmitter within the entry operating range to perform the measurement For the entry operating range, refer to System Description (See SYSTEM DESCRIPTION )
