      RESULT REFERENCE

      Result Proceed to
      Door locks operate normally OK
      Door locks do not operate normally NG

    NG: GO TO POWER DOOR LOCK CONTROL SYSTEM 

    OK: Go to next step 

  2. READ VALUE OF TECHSTREAM 
    1. Using the Techstream, read the Data List.

      Smart Access (Certification ECU) 

      MEASUREMENT ITEM/DISPLAY CHART

      Tester Display Measurement Item/Display Normal Condition
      Auto Entry Cancel SW Entry function cancel / ON or OFF Mode status is displayed

      Result 

      RESULT REFERENCE

      Result Proceed to
      Entry function is OFF A
      Entry function is ON B

    B: PERFORM CANCELLATION OF ENTRY KEY CANCEL FUNCTION  (See CUSTOMIZE PARAMETERS  )

    A: Go to next step 

  3. CHECK SMART ACCESS SYSTEM WITH PUSH-BUTTON START 
    1. Remove the battery of the electrical key transmitter (see REPLACEMENT  ).
    2. Touch the LEXUS mark of the key or card key to the engine switch.
    3. Check that the engine switch can be turned on (IG).

    B: GO TO SMART ACCESS SYSTEM WITH PUSH-BUTTON START  (See SMART ACCESS SYSTEM WITH PUSH-BUTTON START )

    A: Go to next step 

  4. CHECK WAVE ENVIRONMENT 
    1. Install the battery to the electrical key transmitter (see REPLACEMENT  ).
    2. Bring the electrical key transmitter near the indoor electrical key oscillator (in center console), and perform an engine start check.
      NOTE: If the key is brought within 0.2 m (0.6 ft.) of the center console, communication is not possible.
    3. Bring the electrical key transmitter near the indoor electrical key oscillator (in rear seat cushion), and perform an engine start check.
      NOTE: If the key is brought within 0.2 m (0.6 ft.) of the rear seat cushion, communication is not possible.

      HINT:

      • When the electrical key transmitter is brought near the indoor electrical key oscillator, the possibility of wave interference decreases, and it can be determined if wave interference is causing the problem symptom.
      • If the inspection result is that the operation check is normal, the possibility of wave interference is high. Also, added vehicle components may cause wave interference. If installed, remove them and perform the operation check.

      Result 

      RESULT REFERENCE

      Result Proceed to
      Both operation checks fail A
      Operation check is normal B

    B: AFFECTED BY WAVE INTERFERENCE 

    A: Go to next step 

  5. KEY DIAGNOSTIC MODE 
    1. Diagnostic mode inspection (front inside oscillator)
      1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
      2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
      3. Turn the the Techstream on.
      4. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Smart Access / Smart Communication Check /Overhead + Front Room.
      5. When the electrical key transmitter is placed on the driver seat or front passenger seat cushion, check that the wireless door lock buzzer sounds.

    2. Diagnostic mode inspection (rear inside oscillator)
      1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
      2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
      3. Turn the the Techstream on.
      4. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Smart Access / Smart Communication Check /Overhead + Rear Room.
      5. When the electrical key transmitter is placed on the rear seat cushion, check that the wireless door lock buzzer sounds.

        HINT:

        If the buzzer sounds, it can be determined that the vehicle interior transmitters are operating normally.

        Result 

        RESULT REFERENCE

        Result Proceed to
        Front and rear operation check is normal A
        Front and rear operation checks fail B

    A: REPLACE CERTIFICATION ECU 

    B: Go to next step 

  6. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (INDOOR ELECTRICAL KEY OSCILLATOR CERTIFICATION ECU) 
    Fig 4: Identifying L74, S10 Oscillator Connectors And L15 ECU Connector Terminals
    G05852861Courtesy of © TOYOTA, LICENSE AGREEMENT TMS1002
    1. Disconnect the L74 and S10 oscillator connectors.
    2. Disconnect the L15 ECU connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance for Front 

      STANDARD RESISTANCE

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      L74-1 (CLG3) - L15-11 (CLG5) Always Below 1 Ω
      L74-3 (CLGB) - L15-12 (CG5B) Always Below 1 Ω
      L74-1 (CLG3) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      L74-3 (CLGB) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

      for Rear

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      S10-1 (CLG4) - L15-13 (CLG6) Always Below 1 Ω
      S10-3 (CLGB) - L15-14 (CG6B) Always Below 1 Ω
      S10-1 (CLG4) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to next step 

  7. CHECK INDOOR ELECTRICAL KEY OSCILLATOR (OPERATION) 
    1. Replace the indoor electrical key oscillator with a new one or normally functioning one.
    2. Check that the entry function operates normally.

      OK: Operates normally 

    NG: Go to step 8 

    OK: END (INDOOR ELECTRICAL KEY OSCILLATOR IS DEFECTIVE)

  9. CHECK OPERATION 
    1. Check the operation of the entry lock function.

      OK: Operates normally 

    NG: REPLACE CERTIFICATION ECU
