Operation Check [12/2013 - ]

  1. CHECK SMART KEY SYSTEM (for Entry Function) OPERATION 
    NOTE:

    Make sure that the smart key system (for Entry Function) has not been canceled before performing this inspection.

    1. Check the entry unlock function (driver door, front passenger door).
      1. Perform a wireless lock operation to lock the door, touch the unlock sensor built into the backside of the front door outside handle assembly of the driver door while carrying the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly and check that the door unlocks.

        HINT: 

        To perform a wireless lock operation, press the lock button of the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly while standing near the front door outside handle assembly.

      2. Inspect the entry unlock detection area. Hold the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly at the same height as the front door outside handle assembly and approximately 0.7 m (2.30 ft.) from the vehicle as shown in the illustration and check that the LED (red) of the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly blinks.

        *a 0.7 to 1 m (2.30 to 3.28 ft.)
      3. With the system in unlock standby mode, grasp the front door outside handle assembly and check that the door unlocks.

        HINT: 

        • The system is in unlock standby mode when the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is in the detection area and the key ID code sent by the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly matches the key ID code stored by the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly).
        • Communication may not be possible if the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is within 0.2 m (0.656 ft.) of the front door outside handle assembly.
        • Inspect the front passenger door using the same procedure.
      4. Check the unlock response sensitivity. With the system in unlock standby mode, touch the area shown in the illustration and check that the door unlocks.
        NOTE:

        If the sensor is touched too quickly or released too slowly, the sensor may not react and the door will not unlock.

        *a Unlock Sensor (Backside)
    2. Check the entry lock function (driver door, front passenger door).
      NOTE:

      If the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is in the vehicle but outside the detection area (on the instrument panel, in the glove box, on the floor) and a door lock operation is performed, the key lock-in prevention function will not operate and the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly will be locked inside the vehicle.

      1. With the door closed and unlocked, touch the lock sensor of the front door outside handle assembly of the driver door while carrying the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly and check that the door locks.

        HINT: 

        If the door does not lock even when touching the lock sensor, touch it with your palm.

        HINT: 

        • If the door does not lock even when touching the lock sensor, touch it with your palm.
        • As communication may not be possible if the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is within 0.2 m (0.656 ft.) of the front door outside handle assembly, the door may not lock if the lock sensor is touched with the same hand that is carrying the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly, etc.
        • If the key lock-in prevention function buzzer sounds, electric waves from the indoor electrical key antenna may be leaking from the vehicle.
        • Inspect the front passenger door using the same procedure.
        • The door lock operation cannot be performed more than 3 times consecutively.
    3. Check the entry back door unlock function.
      1. Perform a wireless lock operation to lock the door, operate the unlock switch of the back door opener switch assembly while carrying the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly and check that the door unlock.

        HINT: 

        • Communication may not be possible if the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is within 0.2 m (0.66 ft.) of the rear bumper.
        • If the key lock-in prevention function buzzer sounds, electric waves from the indoor electrical key antenna assembly may be leaking from the vehicle.
    5. Check the push start function.
      1. With the power switch off, move the shift lever to P, depress the brake pedal while carrying the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly. Then, press the power switch and check that the hybrid system starts.
      2. With the brake pedal released and the power switch off, press the power switch while carrying the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly and check that the power source mode changes as follows: off → on (ACC) → on (IG) → off.
      3. Stop the vehicle, press the power switch and check that the power source mode changes to off (the hybrid system stops and all electrical systems are off).
      4. Inspect the push start operating range (front floor). Place the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly on the front seat at either inspection point so that it is facing in the direction shown in the illustration and check that the hybrid system can be started.
