Operation Check [08/2019 - 08/2022]

  1. OPERATION DESCRIPTION 
    NOTE:

    Make sure that the smart access system with push-button start (for Start Function) has not been canceled before performing this inspection.

    Refer to CUSTOMIZE PARAMETERS [08/2019 - ] 

    1. Push-button start function:
      1. When the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is in a detection area inside the vehicle and the brake pedal is depressed, the engine is started by pressing the engine switch.
      2. When the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is in a detection area inside the vehicle and the brake pedal is not depressed, the power source mode is changed by pressing the engine switch. The power source mode changes in the following order every time the engine switch is pressed: off → on (ACC) → on (IG) → off.
      3. After getting into the vehicle while carrying the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly when the engine switch is off, if the engine switch is pressed while not depressing the brake pedal, the power source mode changes to on (ACC) and "ACCESSORY" is displayed on the multi-information display.

    1. *a Entry Warning Light Display

      Check the push-button start function:

      1. Get into the vehicle while carrying the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly with the engine switch off. With the shift lever in P, check that the entry warning light is displayed when the brake pedal is depressed. Check that the engine starts when the engine switch is pressed after the entry warning light is displayed on the multi-information display.
      2. While the brake pedal is released and the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is being carried, check that the power source mode changes in the following order when the engine switch is pressed: off → on (ACC) → on (IG) → off.

        HINT: 

        When the engine switch is pressed with the engine switch on (IG) and the shift lever not in P, the power source mode does not change to off, but changes to on (ACC).

      3. With the shift lever in P, check that the steering lock operates when a door is opened. (w/ Steering Lock System)

        HINT: 

        When the engine switch is pressed after the vehicle is stopped, the engine stops and all the power turns off. However, if the shift lever is not in P when the engine switch is pressed with the vehicle stopped, the power source mode does not change to off, but changes to on (ACC).

      4. Check the push-button start function operation range for the front side. Place the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly at either inspection point so that it is facing the direction shown in the illustration, and then check that the engine can be started.
        NOTE:

        Even if the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is in a vehicle interior key detection area, the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly may not be properly detected if the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is on the instrument panel, in the glove box or on the floor.

        HINT: 

        • Communication may not be possible if the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is within 0.2 m (0.656 ft.) of the shift lever.
        • Perform this inspection for both inspection points.

      5. Check the push-button start function operation range for the rear side. Place the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly at either inspection point so that it is facing the direction shown in the illustration, and then check that the engine can be started.
        NOTE:

        Even if the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is in a vehicle interior key detection area, the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly may not be properly detected if the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is on the instrument panel, in the glove box or on the floor.

        HINT: 

        • 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.
        • Perform this inspection for both inspection points.

        NOTE:

        Even if the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is within the vehicle interior detection area, the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly may not be properly detected if it is on the instrument panel, in the glove box or on the floor.

        HINT: 

        • Communication may not be possible if the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is within 0.2 m (0.656 ft.) of the rear corners of the luggage room.
        • Perform the inspection for both inspection points.
  3. CHECK TRANSMITTER BATTERY SAVING FUNCTION 
    1. Check the transmitter battery saving mode function:
      1. Press the unlock switch of the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly twice while pressing the lock switch and check that the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly LED blinks 4 times and enters transmitter battery saving mode.
      2. Check that the mart access system with push-button start does not operate while in transmitter battery saving mode.

        HINT: 

        To cancel transmitter battery saving mode, press a switch of the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly.

  4. CHECK POWER SOURCE MODE CHANGING FUNCTION 
    1. Check the engine switch.
      1. Check that the power source mode changes according to the chart below.
        Shift Position Brake Pedal Power Source Mode when Engine Switch Pressed

        N Depressed Engine running → on (ACC)
        Not P or N Released Off → on (ACC) → on (IG) (after power source mode changes to on (IG), power source mode changes between on (IG) and on (ACC) every time engine switch is pressed)
        Not P or N Released Engine running → on (ACC)
        Not P or N Depressed Off → on (IG)
        Not P or N Depressed On (ACC) → on (IG)
        Not P or N Depressed Engine running → on (ACC)

        HINT: 

        • *1: This situation is only applicable when the power source mode has changed from on (IG) to on (ACC). However, this situation is not applicable when an emergency stop is performed by pressing and holding the engine switch for 2 seconds or more or by quickly pressing the engine switch 3 times or more.
