    See step  2

  2. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (D-DOOR TRIGGER SWITCH) 
    1. Turn the engine switch off.
    2. Open and close the driver door.
    3. Hold the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly at the same height as the door outside handle assembly and approximately 0.3 m (0.984 ft.) from the driver door.
    4. Read the Data List according to the display on the Techstream.
    5. Touch the lock sensor of the front door outside handle assembly (for driver door).

      HINT: 

      • If the door does not lock even when touching the lock sensor, touch it with your palm.
      • When checking the operation of the lock sensor again, make sure to perform the procedure from step (a).

      D-Door Trigger Switch Driver door touch sensor (lock sensor) ON or OFF ON: Driver door touch sensor (lock sensor) touched
      OFF: Driver door touch sensor (lock sensor) not touched
      • Displays whether the lock sensor is on or off (even if the sensor is touched and contact is maintained, "ON" is displayed only momentarily).
      • Use this Data List item to help determine if there is a lock sensor malfunction when the entry lock function does not operate.

      HINT: 

      When checking the operation of the entry lock function several times, it can be operated up to 2 times consecutively. To operate the function 3 times or more consecutively, the doors need to be unlocked once. However, this is only for the entry lock function, other door lock operations, such as a wireless door lock operation can be performed consecutively.

      OK

      The Techstream display changes correctly in response to the operation of the front door outside handle assembly (for driver door).

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (CERTIFICATION ECU (SMART KEY ECU ASSEMBLY) - FRONT DOOR OUTSIDE HANDLE ASSEMBLY (FOR DRIVER DOOR)) 
    1. Disconnect the R1 certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) connector.
    2. Disconnect the N11 front door outside handle assembly (for driver door) connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      R1-17 (CLG1) - N11-4 (ANT1) Always Below 1 Ω
      R1-16 (CG1B) - N11-5 (ANT2) Always Below 1 Ω
      R1-17 (CLG1) or N11-4 (ANT1) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      R1-16 (CG1B) or N11-5 (ANT2) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
    4. Reconnect the N11 front door outside handle assembly (for driver door) connector.
    5. Reconnect the R1 certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) connector.
