  5. CHECK ROOM LIGHT (WIRELESS DOOR LOCK BUZZER) 
    1. Check that the room light illumination operates normally.
    2. Inspect the wireless door lock buzzer See step  4.
      RESULT:

      Result Proceed to
      Room light and wireless door lock buzzer is normally A
      Room light is malfunction B
      Wireless door lock buzzer is malfunction C

    B → Go to LIGHTING SYSTEM 

    C → REPLACE WIRELESS DOOR LOCK BUZZER 

    A: 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 of removing the key, insert the key into the ignition key cylinder (ignition switch OFF). Then turn the ignition switch ON and OFF.
      3. Within 30 seconds of turning the ignition switch OFF, perform the following operation 9 times: turn the ignition switch ON and OFF.
        NOTE:

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

        HINT: 

        • Turning the ignition switch 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 flash (wireless door lock buzzer sound) pattern.

      OK

      Flash (sound) pattern is same as illustration.

    NG → See step   11 

    OK: Go to next step 

  7. CHECK BY SELF DIAGNOSTIC MODE 
    Fig 2: Room Light Output Graph

    1. Inspect the diagnosis outputs when the door control transmitter switch is held down. The diagnosis outputs can be checked by the flash patterns of the room light (wireless door lock buzzer).
      RESULT:

      Result Proceed to
      Unmatching recognition code is output A
      Normal waves (light flash or buzzer sound patterns) is output B
      No diagnosis outputs C

    B → REPLACE INSTRUMENT PANEL JUNCTION BLOCK (MAIN BODY ECU) 

    C → See step   9 

    A: Go to next step 

  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   14 

    OK → END 

  9. CHECK DOOR CONTROL RECEIVER (RESPONSE) 
    1. Temporarily replace the door lock control transmitter with a new or normally functioning one.Refer to REMOVAL .
    2. Held down the door control transmitter's switch.
    3. Check that an unmatching recognition code is output.

      OK
