All Door Entry Lock/Unlock Functions and Wireless Functions do not Operate: 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 POWER DOOR LOCK CONTROL SYSTEM 
    1. When the door control switch on the multiplex network master switch assembly is operated, check that the doors unlock and lock according to the switch operation. Refer to OPERATION CHECK .

      OK

      Door locks operate normally.

    NG → See step   10 

    OK: Go to next step 

  2. CHECK ELECTRICAL KEY TRANSMITTER 
    1. When another registered electrical key transmitter is used, check that the wireless and entry functions operate normally. Refer to OPERATION CHECK .
      RESULT

      Result Proceed to
      Entry function operates A
      Entry function does not operate B

    B → See step   5 

    A: Go to next step 

  3. CHECK ELECTRICAL KEY TRANSMITTER (LED) 
    1. Check that the transmitter LED illuminates 3 times when a switch is pressed 3 times.
      RESULT

      Result Proceed to
      Transmitter LED does not illuminate when switch is pressed 3 times A
      Transmitter LED illuminates 3 times when switch is pressed 3 times B
      Transmitter LED does not illuminate second or third time C

      HINT: 

      If the transmitter LED does not illuminate the second or third time, replace the transmitter battery as it is depleted.

    C → See step   11 

    B → REPLACE ELECTRICAL KEY TRANSMITTER 

    A: Go to next step 

  4. INSPECT TRANSMITTER BATTERY (VOLTAGE) 
    1. Remove the battery from the electrical key transmitter that does not operate. Refer to REPLACEMENT .

      NOTE:

      Do not wrap the lead wire around a terminal, wedge it between terminals, or solder it. The terminal may be deformed or damaged, and the battery will not be able to be installed correctly.

    3. Carefully pull the lead wire out from the position shown in the illustration and install the previously removed transmitter battery.
    4. Using an oscilloscope, check the transmitter battery voltage waveform.

      HINT: 

      When measuring the battery voltage, bring the electrical key transmitter within the entry operating range while operating the lock sensor of a door handle to perform the measurement. For the entry operating range, refer to System Description. Refer to SYSTEM DESCRIPTION .

      Standard Voltage

      Item Content
      Tester Connection Battery positive (+) - Battery negative (-)
      Tool Setting 0.5 V/DIV., 100 ms/DIV.
      Condition Engine switch off, all doors closed and lock sensor touched
      Specified Condition 2.5 to 3.2 V (Refer to waveform)
      TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION

      *1 Measurement Position

    NG → See step   11 

    OK → REPLACE ELECTRICAL KEY TRANSMITTER 

  5. CHECK WAVE ENVIRONMENT 
    1. Bring the electrical key transmitter near the door control receiver and perform a wireless and entry function operation check.

      HINT: 

      • When the electrical key transmitter is brought near the door control receiver, 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 problem only occurs in certain locations or at certain times of day, 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

      Wireless and entry functions operate normally.

    NG → See step   6 

    OK → AFFECTED BY WAVE INTERFERENCE 

  6. CHECK POWER SOURCE 
    1. Check that the combination meter display turns off when the engine switch is turned off.

      OK

      Combination meter turns off.

      HINT: 

      This confirms that systems other than the smart key system are correctly detecting the state of the power source.

    NG → GO TO SMART KEY SYSTEM (FOR START FUNCTION) 

    OK: Go to next step 

  7. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (CERTIFICATION ECU - BATTERY AND BODY GROUND) 
    1. Disconnect the F79 ECU connector.

    2. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Voltage

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      F79-17 (CUTB) - Body ground Always 11 to 14 V
      F79-1 (+B) - Body ground Always 11 to 14 V
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      F79-15 (E) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to next step 

  8. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (DOOR CONTROL RECEIVER - CERTIFICATION ECU AND BODY GROUND) 
    1. Disconnect the O10 receiver connector.
    2. Disconnect the F78 ECU connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      O10-4 (+5) - F78-5 (RCO) Always Below 1 Ω
      O10-5 (DATA) - F78-15 (RDA) Always Below 1 Ω
      O10-2 (RSSI) - F78-16 (RSSI) Always Below 1 Ω
      F78-5 (RCO) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      F78-15 (RDA) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      F78-16 (RSSI) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      O10-1 (GND) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to next step 

  9. CHECK DOOR CONTROL RECEIVER (OPERATION) 
    1. Temporarily replace the door control receiver with a new or normally functioning one. Refer to REMOVAL .
    2. Check that the wireless and entry functions operate normally.

      OK

      Wireless and entry functions operate normally.

    NG → See step   12 

    OK → END (DOOR CONTROL RECEIVER IS DEFECTIVE) 

  10. GO TO POWER DOOR LOCK CONTROL SYSTEM. Refer to  HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING 
  11. REPLACE TRANSMITTER BATTERY. Refer to  REPLACEMENT 
  12. REPLACE CERTIFICATION ECU. Refer to  REMOVAL
