Room Oscillator does not Recognize Key [09/2014 - ]: Procedure

  1. CHECK ENTRY DOOR LOCK OPERATION 
    1. Check that the entry lock and unlock functions operate for each door (Refer to OPERATION CHECK [09/2014 - ] ).

      HINT: 

      If the door control receiver is defective, code verification does not begin in the cabin and the entry functions do not operate.

    Result:  NG

    NG 

    GO TO PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE 

    (Refer to PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE [09/2014 - ] )

    Result:  OK

    OK 

    See step  2

  2. CHECK PUSH START FUNCTION 
    1. Remove the transmitter battery of the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly (Refer to REPLACEMENT [09/2014 - ] ).
      GTY395968Courtesy of © TOYOTA, LICENSE AGREEMENT TMS1002
    2. With the brake pedal depressed, face the logo side of the electrical transmitter sub-assembly towards the power switch, hold the transmitter near the power switch and then press the power switch.
    3. When operating the power switch, check whether the hybrid system starts.

      HINT: 

      • When the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly cannot be verified even though it is inside the detection area, the hybrid system start check can be performed by removing the transmitter battery from the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly and holding the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly near the power switch.
      • If the hybrid system cannot be started when performing this inspection, the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) may be malfunctioning.

      OK

      Hybrid system starts.

    (Refer to HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING [09/2014 - ] )

    Result:  OK

    OK 

    See step  3

  3. CHECK WAVE ENVIRONMENT 
    1. Install the transmitter battery to the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly (Refer to REPLACEMENT [09/2014 - ] ).
    2. Bring the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly near the No. 1 indoor electrical key antenna assembly (front floor) and perform a smart access system check (Refer to OPERATION CHECK [09/2014 - ] ).
      NOTE:

      Communication may not be possible if the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is within 0.2 m (0.656 ft.) of the shift lever.

    3. Bring the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly near the No. 2 indoor electrical key antenna assembly (rear floor) and perform a smart access system check (Refer to OPERATION CHECK [09/2014 - ] )

      HINT: 

      Check that the customize status of the "Ignition Available Area" has been "All".

      NOTE:

      Communication may not be possible if the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is within 0.2 m (0.656 ft.) of the center of the rear seat cushion.

      HINT: 

      • As the effect of wave interference decreases by moving the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly close to the each indoor electrical key antenna assembly, it may be possible to check whether wave interference is the cause of the problem.
      • If the problem only occurs in specific places or at specific times, wave interference may be the cause of the problem. Also, the vehicle may be have the effects of wave interference with the parts installed by the dealer. As a result, when parts have been installed by the dealer, it may be necessary to remove those parts before inspecting the vehicle.
      • There may be wave interference if the vehicle is near broadcasting antennas, large video displays, wireless garage door opener systems, wireless security cameras, home security systems, etc. In this case, move the vehicle to a different location and check if there is any improvement.
      • If a tool for checking electric waves, such as a signal strength meter, is available, move around the area while observing both the LF band (used by the vehicle antenna to form the detection area) and RF band (used by the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly for transmission) to check for locations where there is wave interference.
      RESULT

      Result Proceed to
      System cannot be operated A
      System can be operated B

    Result:  B

    AFFECTED BY WAVE INTERFERENCE 

    Result:  A

    See step  4

  4. CHECK KEY DIAGNOSTIC MODE 
    1. Check the following antennas in the key diagnostic mode (Refer to PARTS LOCATION [09/2014 - 10/2015] or PARTS LOCATION [10/2015 - ] ).
    2. Select either channel 1 or channel 2 and inspect the key diagnostic mode for each channel.

      HINT: 

      If the buzzer sounds with [CH1] displayed but not with [CH2], the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly cannot be detected by channel 2 due to a malfunction, such as wave interference.

      1. Check the No. 1 indoor electrical key antenna assembly (front floor).

        TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION

        *a Inspection Point

        When the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is at the inspection point, check that the wireless door lock buzzer sounds.

      2. Check the No. 2 indoor electrical key antenna assembly (rear floor).

        TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION

        *a Inspection Point

        When the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is at the inspection point, 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.
        • It is possible to check which indoor electrical key antenna assembly (front floor or rear floor) is operating by the sounding of the buzzer.
        • If the buzzer does not sound for any indoor electrical key antenna assemblies, the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) circuit may have a malfunction.

        OK

        Wireless door lock buzzer sounds.
