Power Source Mode does not Change: Procedure

  1. CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT OCCURS 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the Techstream on.

      HINT: 

      When it is impossible to turn the engine switch on (IG), connect the Techstream to the vehicle, and turn a courtesy light switch on and off at 1.5 second intervals until communication between the tester and vehicle begins.

    3. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Main Body / Trouble Codes.
    4. Clear the DTCs.

      HINT: 

      After all DTCs are cleared, check if the trouble occurs again 5 seconds after the engine switch is turned on (IG).

    5. Check for DTCs again.

      OK

      No DTC is output.

    OK: Go to next step 

  2. CHECK SMART KEY SYSTEM 
    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 engine switch changes to on (ACC) or on (IG).

      HINT: 

      • When the electrical key transmitter cannot be verified even when it is in the operational area, 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 engine switch turns on (ACC) or on (IG), there is a problem with key certification inside the cabin.
