Component Outline
Engine switch
  • Transponder key amplifier
  • Turns on the power and starts the engine.
  • Contains a built-in transponder key amplifier to start the engine when the key does not operate properly due to a depleted battery or wave interference.
Certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly)
  • Changes the power source mode by operating the ACC and IG relays.
  • Controls starting by operating the starter relay.
  • Performs key verification.
  • Controls the electrical key antenna (outside), electrical key antenna (indoor) and door lock/unlock sensor.
  • Outputs entry door lock/unlock commands.
  • Outputs steering lock actuator assembly lock/unlock command signals.
  • Outputs immobiliser set/unset commands.
  • Forms the entry function detection area.
  • Receives command signals from the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) and outputs immobiliser set and unset command signals to the ECM.
  • Records codes for smart verification.
ECM Outputs a signal indicating that the engine has started to the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) when starting the engine.
Steering lock ECU (steering lock actuator assembly)
  • Receives command signals from the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) and activates the steering lock actuator assembly.
  • Records codes for entry verification.
Combination meter assembly
  • Operates various warnings sounding of the buzzer in the combination meter according to the command signals from the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly).
  • Displays information or operates LED when the smart key system has a malfunction.
