Room Oscillator does not Recognize Key: Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Toyota 4Runner. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. CHECK SMART KEY SYSTEM (START FUNCTION) 
    1. Remove the battery of the electrical key transmitter. Refer to REPLACEMENT .

    2. With the brake pedal depressed, touch the TOYOTA mark of the key to the engine switch.
    3. When operating the engine switch, check whether the power source mode changes.

      HINT: 

      • When the electrical key transmitter cannot be verified even though it is in the operating range of the start function, the engine start check can be performed by removing the transmitter battery from the electrical key transmitter and holding the transmitter against the engine switch.
      • When performing the check, if the power source mode changes, there is a problem with key certification inside the cabin.

      OK

      Power source mode changes.

    OK: Go to next step 

  2. CHECK WAVE ENVIRONMENT 
    1. Install the battery to the electrical key transmitter. Refer to REPLACEMENT .
    2. Move the electrical key transmitter as described below and perform the operation inspection. Refer to OPERATION CHECK .
      1. Bring the electrical key transmitter near the indoor No. 1 electrical key antenna (front floor) and perform an engine control system start check.
        NOTE:

        If the key is brought within 0.2 m (0.656 ft.) of the indoor No. 1 electrical key antenna (front floor), communication is not possible.

      2. Bring the electrical key transmitter near the indoor No. 2 electrical key antenna (rear floor) and perform an engine control system start check.
        NOTE:

        If the key is brought within 0.2 m (0.656 ft.) of the indoor No. 2 electrical key antenna (rear floor), communication is not possible.

      3. Bring the electrical key transmitter near the indoor No. 2 electrical key antenna (inside luggage) and perform an engine control system start check.
        NOTE:

        If the key is brought within 0.2 m (0.656 ft.) of the indoor No. 2 electrical key antenna (rear floor), communication is not possible.

        HINT: 

        • When the electrical key transmitter is brought near the indoor electrical key antenna, 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.

        OK

        Engine can be started.

    NG → See step   3 

    OK → AFFECTED BY WAVE INTERFERENCE 

  3. CHECK ELECTRICAL KEY ANTENNAS IN KEY DIAGNOSTIC MODE 
    1. Check the following antennas in the key diagnostic mode. Refer to SYSTEM DESCRIPTION .
      1. Check the indoor No. 1 electrical key antenna (front floor).

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

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

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

      3. Check the indoor No. 2 electrical key antenna (inside luggage).

        When the electrical key transmitter 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 (front floor, rear floor or inside luggage) is operating by the sounding of the buzzer.
        • If the buzzer does not sound for any indoor electrical key antennas, the certification ECU circuit may have a malfunction.

        OK

        Wireless door lock buzzer sounds.
