DTC B27A5: Open in Front Floor Electrical Key Oscillator Circuit [12/2012 - ]: Description

The certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) generates a request signal and transmits the signal to the No. 1 indoor electrical key antenna assembly (front floor). For the No. 1 indoor electrical key antenna assembly (front floor) to detect when the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is inside the vehicle, the signal from the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) requesting a response from the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is transmitted inside the vehicle. DTC B27A5 is stored by the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) when an open circuit is detected between the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) and No. 1 indoor electrical key antenna assembly (front floor) (between terminals CLG5 and ANTE5, or terminals CG5B and CLGB).
