Only Wireless Control Function is Inoperative: Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Toyota Corolla. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. CHECK POWER DOOR LOCK OPERATION 
    1. When the door control switch on the master switch assembly is operated, check that the locked doors unlock. Refer to OPERATION CHECK .

      OK

      Locked doors unlock.

    NG → See step   19 

    OK: Go to next step 

  2. CHECK KEY REMINDER WARNING SYSTEM 
    1. Check that the key reminder warning buzzer operates normally.

      OK

      Key reminder warning buzzer operates normally.

    NG → See step   17 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. CHECK DOOR CONTROL TRANSMITTER ASSEMBLY 
    1. When another registered door control transmitter is used, check that the wireless operates normally.

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      Wireless door LOCK/UNLOCK function operates and door control transmitter that did not operate is electrical key transmitter A
      Wireless door LOCK/UNLOCK function does not operate B

    B → See step   5 

    A: Go to next step 

  4. CHECK TRANSMITTER BATTERY 
    1. Inspect the battery capacity.
      1. Remove the battery from the electrical key transmitter that does not operate. Refer to REMOVAL . Attach a lead wire (0.6 mm (0.0236 in.) in diameter or less including wire sheath) with tape or equivalent to the negative terminal.
        NOTE:

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

    2. Carefully pull the lead wire out from the position shown in the illustration and install the previously removed transmitter battery.

      HINT: 

      Measure the transmitter battery voltage while pressing the LOCK or UNLOCK switch on the transmitter.

      Standard Voltage

      Item Content
      Tester Connection Battery positive (+) - Battery negative (-)
      Tool Setting 0.5 V/DIV., 100 ms/DIV.
      Condition Ignition switch off, all doors closed and lock or unlock switch is pressed
      Specified Condition 2.2 to 3.2 V (Refer to the waveform)

    NG → See step   16 

    OK → REPLACE DOOR CONTROL TRANSMITTER MODULE 

  5. CHECK WAVE ENVIRONMENT 
    1. Bring the transmitter near the door control receiver, and perform a wireless operation check.

      HINT: 

      • When the 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 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 functions operate normally.

    NG → AFFECTED BY WAVE INTERFERENCE 

    OK: Go to next step 

  6. SWITCH TO SELF-DIAGNOSTIC MODE 
    1. Switch to self-diagnostic mode by operating the ignition key cylinder.
      1. Make sure the vehicle is in its initial condition. Then insert the key into the ignition key cylinder and remove it.
      2. Within 5 seconds after removing the key, insert the key into the ignition key cylinder (ignition switch off). Then turn the ignition switch to ON and off.
      3. Within 30 seconds after turning the ignition switch off, perform the following operation 9 times: turn the ignition switch to ON and then off.
        NOTE:

        If the system cannot enter self-diagnostic mode, the system returns to normal mode.

        HINT: 

        • Turning the ignition switch to ON after the above operations have been completed ends self-diagnostic mode.
        • Do not lock or unlock doors during self-diagnostic mode.
    2. Check that the system has switched to self-diagnostic mode by checking the room light output pattern.

    3. Check that the system has switched to self-diagnostic mode by checking the wireless door lock buzzer output pattern.

    NEXT: Go to next step 

  7. CHECK SELF DIAGNOSTIC MODE 
    Fig 5: Interior Lights And Buzzer Blinking Pattern
    GTY197969Courtesy of © TOYOTA, LICENSE AGREEMENT TMS1002
    1. Inspect the diagnostic outputs when the door control transmitter switch is held down. The diagnostic outputs can be checked by the flash patterns of the interior lights and the buzzer patterns of the wireless door lock buzzer.

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      Normal wave (light flash pattern and buzzer pattern) is output A
      Unmatching recognition code is output B
      No diagnosis outputs C

    B → See step   8 

    C → See step   9 

    A → REPLACE MAIN BODY ECU 

  8. REGISTER RECOGNITION CODE 
    1. Check that the system can be switched to rewrite mode or add mode, and that a recognition code can be registered. Refer to REGISTRATION .

      OK

      Recognition code can be registered.

    NG → See step   13 

    OK → END (GO TO OPERATION CHECK) 

  9. CHECK DOOR CONTROL RECEIVER (RESPONSE) 
    1. Prepare the door control transmitter from another vehicle.
    2. Press and hold down the door control transmitter switch.
    3. Check that an unmatching recognition code is output.

      OK

      Unmatching recognition code is output.

    NG → See step   10 

    OK → REPLACE DOOR CONTROL TRANSMITTER MODULE 

  10. CHECK DOOR CONTROL RECEIVER (+B, GND)
