DTC B27A8: Open in Outside Luggage Compartment Electrical Key Antenna Circuit: Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Lexus RX 350. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) generates a request signal and sends it to the outside electrical key oscillator (for rear side). To detect the key near the driver door, the outside electrical key oscillator (for rear side) creates a detection area towards the area approximately 1.0 m (3.28 ft.) from the back door.

DTC B27A8 is detected by the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) when an open circuit occurs between the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) and outside electrical key oscillator (for rear side) terminals (between CLG8 and CLG5, or CG8B and CLGB).
