Touch Sensor Circuit: Procedure

  1. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM 
    1. Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
    3. Turn the tester on.
    4. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Smart Key / Data List.
    5. Read the Data List according to the display on the tester.
      SMART KEY:

      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      D-Door Touch Sensor Status of touch sensor front LH / ON or OFF ON: Touch sensor is touched
      OFF: Touch sensor is not touched
      -
      P-Door Touch Sensor Status of touch sensor front RH / ON or OFF ON: Touch sensor is touched
      OFF: Touch sensor is not touched
      -
      Dr-Door Touch Sensor Status of touch sensor rear LH / ON or OFF ON: Touch sensor is touched
      OFF: Touch sensor does not touched
      -
      Pr DoorTouch Sensor Status of touch sensor rear RH / ON or OFF ON: Touch sensor is touched
      OFF: Touch sensor does not touched
      -

      OK

      On the tester screen, each item changes between ON and OFF according to the chart above.

    OK → PROCEED TO NEXT CIRCUIT INSPECTION SHOWN IN  PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE 

    NG: Go to next step 

  2. CHECK WIRE HARNESS (CERTIFICATION ECU - DOOR OSCILLATOR) 
    1. Disconnect the D39 and D40 ECU connector.

    3. Measure the resistance between the oscillator and the certification ECU to check for an open circuit in the wire harness.

      Resistance

      Below 1 Ω

    4. Measure the resistance between the oscillator and the certification ECU to check for an short circuit in the wire harness.

      Resistance

      10 kΩ or higher

      HINT: 

      Refer to the appropriate wiring diagram for connection of each terminal.

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. INSPECT CERTIFICATION ECU 
    1. Reconnect the ECU and the oscillator connectors.

    2. Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
    3. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
    4. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Voltage

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      SEL1 (D39-5) - Body ground Move the key more than 5 m (16.4 ft) away from the front door LH → Bring it to the outside handle 10 to 14 V → Below 1 V
      SEL2 (D39-6) - Body ground Move the key more than 5 m (16.4 ft) away from the front door RH → Bring it to the outside handle 10 to 14 V → Below 1 V
      SEL3 (D40-1) - Body ground Move the key more than 5 m (16.4 ft) away from the rear door LH → Bring it to the outside handle 10 to 14 V → Below 1 V
      SEL4 (D40-2) - Body ground Move the key more than 5 m (16.4 ft) away from the rear door RH → Bring it to the outside handle 10 to 14 V → Below 1 V
      SEN1 (D39-22) - Body ground Front door LH outside handle is not held → Front door LH outside handle is held 10 to 14 V → Below 1 V
      SEN2 (D39-23) - Body ground Front door RH outside handle is not held → Front door RH outside handle is held 10 to 14 V → Below 1 V
      SEN4 (D40-27) - Body ground Rear door LH outside handle is not held → Rear door LH outside handle is held 10 to 14 V → Below 1 V
      SEN3 (D40-28) - Body ground Rear door RH outside handle is not held → Rear door RH outside handle is held 10 to 14 V → Below 1 V

    OK → PROCEED TO NEXT CIRCUIT INSPECTION SHOWN IN  PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE 

    NG: Go to next step 

  4. REPLACE DOOR OSCILLATOR (CHECK OPERATION OF DOOR OSCILLATOR) 
    1. Replace the door oscillator.
    2. Check that the entry UNLOCK function operates normally.

      OK

      Entry UNLOCK function operates normally.

    NG → PROCEED TO NEXT CIRCUIT INSPECTION SHOWN IN  PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE 

    OK → END (DOOR OSCILLATOR IS DEFECTIVE)
