Front Passenger Side Door Entry Lock and Unlock Functions do not Operate [12/2012 - ]: Procedure

  1. CHECK POWER DOOR LOCK CONTROL SYSTEM 
    1. When the door control switch on the multiplex network master switch assembly is operated, check that the doors unlock and lock according to the switch operation.

      Refer to OPERATION CHECK [12/2012 - ]

      Result Proceed to
      Door locks operate normally
      Door locks do not operate

    Result: 

    Door locks do not operate 

    GO TO POWER DOOR LOCK CONTROL SYSTEM. Refer to  HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING [12/2012 - ] 

    Result: 

    Door locks operate normally 

    See step  2

  2. CHECK WAVE ENVIRONMENT 
    1. Bring the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly approximately 0.3 m (0.984 ft.) from the front door outside handle assembly (for front passenger door) and perform an entry function check.

      Refer to OPERATION CHECK [12/2012 - 08/2016] or OPERATION CHECK [08/2016 - ] .

      *a Approximately 0.3 m (0.984 ft.)
      NOTE:

      If the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is brought within 0.2 m (0.656 ft.) of the door handle, communication may not be possible.

      HINT: 

      If the inspection result is that the problem only occurs in certain locations or at certain 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.

      Result Proceed to
      Entry function does not operate normally
      Entry function operates normally

    Result: 

    Entry function operates normally 

    AFFECTED BY WAVE INTERFERENCE 

    Result: 

    Entry function does not operate normally 

    See step  3

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (FRONT DOOR OUTSIDE HANDLE ASSEMBLY - CERTIFICATION ECU AND BODY GROUND) 
    1. Disconnect the I7 front door outside handle assembly (for front passenger door) connector.
    2. Disconnect the G84 certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) connector.
    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      I7-3 (ANT2) - G84 -10 (CG2B) Always Below 1 Ω
      I7-6 (ANT1) - G84-11 (CLG2) Always Below 1 Ω
      I7-5 (B) - G84-21 (POS2) Always Below 1 Ω
      I7-2 (GND) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω
      I7-3 (ANT2) or G84-10 (CG2B) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      I7-6 (ANT1) or G84-11 (CLG2) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      I7-5 (B) or G84-21 (POS2) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  4

  4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SMART KEY ECU ASSEMBLY) (OUTPUT TO FRONT PASSENGER DOOR ELECTRICAL KEY ANTENNA) 
    1. Connect the G84 certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) connector.

      (to Front Door Outside Handle Assembly [for Driver Door])
      *b Waveform
    2. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Voltage

      Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition
      I7-5 (B) - I7-2 (GND) Engine switch off → on (IG) 9 to 14 V → Below 2 V
    3. Using an oscilloscope, check the waveform.

      OK

      Tester Connection Switch Condition Tool Setting Specified Condition
      I7-3 (ANT2) - I7-6 (ANT1) Procedure: 
      1. Engine switch off
      2. Electrical key transmitter sub-assembly brought outside vehicle
      3. All doors closed
      4. Electrical key transmitter sub-assembly not inside vehicle
      5. Electrical key transmitter sub-assembly brought outside detection area*
      6. All doors locked through wireless operation
      2 V/DIV., 500 ms/DIV. Pulse generation
      (See waveform)

    Result: 

    NG 

    REPLACE CERTIFICATION ECU (SMART KEY ECU ASSEMBLY). Refer to  REMOVAL [12/2012 - 10/2015]  or  REMOVAL [10/2015 - ]  . 

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  5

  5. CHECK FRONT DOOR OUTSIDE HANDLE ASSEMBLY (FOR FRONT PASSENGER DOOR) 
    1. Temporarily replace the front door outside handle assembly (for front passenger door) with a new or known good one.

      Refer to DISASSEMBLY [12/2012 - ]

    Result: 

    NEXT 

    See step  6

  6. CHECK FRONT DOOR OUTSIDE HANDLE ASSEMBLY (FRONT PASSENGER DOOR) (OPERATION) 
    1. Check that the entry functions operate normally.

      Refer to OPERATION CHECK [12/2012 - 08/2016] or OPERATION CHECK [08/2016 - ] .

      OK

      Entry functions operate normally.
