Key Luggage Compartment Lock-in Prevention Function does not Operate: Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Toyota Corolla. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. CHECK SMART KEY SYSTEM (Entry Function) 
    1. Check that the luggage compartment door entry unlock function operates.

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      Luggage compartment door entry unlock function does not operate A
      Luggage compartment door entry unlock function operates B

    A → See step   7 

    B: Go to next step 

  2. CHECK WAVE ENVIRONMENT 
    1. Bring the electrical key transmitter near the indoor electrical key oscillator (luggage compartment), and check that the key luggage compartment lock-in prevention function operates.
      NOTE:

      If the key is brought within 0.2 m (0.656 ft.) of the indoor electrical key oscillator, communication is not possible.

      HINT: 

      • When the electrical key transmitter is brought near the indoor electrical key oscillator (luggage compartment), the possibility of wave interference decreases, and it can be determined if wave interference is causing the problem symptom.
      • If the operation 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

      Key lock-in prevention function operates normally.

    NG → See step   3 

    OK → AFFECTED BY WAVE INTERFERENCE 

  3. PERFORM KEY DIAGNOSTIC MODE INSPECTION 
    1. Diagnostic mode inspection (indoor electrical key oscillator)

      1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
      2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
      3. Turn the Techstream on.
      4. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Smart Key / Utility / Communication Check (Key Diag Mode) / Overhead + Luggage (inside).
      5. When the electrical key transmitter is held at the same height as the rear bumper upper surface aligning it with the center of the rear of the vehicle, check that the wireless door lock buzzer sounds.

        HINT: 

        If the buzzer sounds, it can be determined that the luggage compartment interior transmitter is operating normally.

        OK

        Wireless door lock buzzer sounds.

    NG → See step   4 

    OK → See step   8 

  4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (CERTIFICATION ECU - INDOOR ELECTRICAL KEY OSCILLATOR) 
    1. Disconnect the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) connector.
    2. Disconnect the indoor electrical key oscillator connector.

    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      E36-16 (CG7B) - M17-3 (CLGB) Always Below 1 Ω
      E36-15 (CLG7) - M17-1 (CLG6) Always Below 1 Ω
      E36-16 (CG7B) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      E36-15 (CLG7) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK: Go to next step 

  5. REPLACE INDOOR ELECTRICAL KEY OSCILLATOR (Luggage Compartment) 
    1. Replace the indoor electrical key oscillator (luggage compartment). Refer to REMOVAL .

    NEXT: Go to next step 

  6. CHECK INDOOR ELECTRICAL KEY OSCILLATOR (OPERATION) 
    1. Check that the entry functions operate normally.

      OK

      Entry functions operate normally.

    NG → See step   8 

    OK → END (INDOOR ELECTRICAL KEY OSCILLATOR IS DEFECTIVE) 

  7. GO TO OTHER PROBLEM. Refer to  Luggage Compartment Door Entry Unlock Function does not Operate when Key is Outside Luggage Compartment  
  8. REPLACE CERTIFICATION ECU (SMART KEY ECU ASSEMBLY). Refer to  REMOVAL
