Operation Check [12/2017 - ]

  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 side door, front passenger side door).
      1. Perform a wireless lock operation to lock all the doors, touch the unlock sensor built into the backside of the front door outside handle assembly of the driver side door while carrying the electrical key transmitter and check that all the doors unlock.

        HINT: 

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

      2. Inspect the entry unlock detection area. Hold the electrical key transmitter at the same height as the front door outside handle assembly (approximately 0.8 m (2.62 ft.) from the ground) 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.

      3. With the system in unlock standby mode, hold the front door outside handle assembly and check that all the doors unlock.

        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 key 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 (0.66 ft.) of the front door outside handle assembly.
        • Inspect the front passenger side 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.

    2. Check the entry lock function (driver side door, front passenger side door).
      NOTE:

      If the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is in the vehicle but outside the detection area (on the instrument panel, accessory box of the instrument panel, package tray trim panel, or in/near the front cup holder, in the glove box or 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 all the doors closed and unlocked, touch the lock sensor of the front door outside handle assembly of the driver side door while carrying the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly and check that all the doors lock.

        *1 Lock Sensor

        HINT: 

        • If the door does not lock when you touch the lock sensor, push the lock sensor with your thumb.
        • As communication may not be possible if the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is within 0.2 m (0.66 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 holding the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly, etc.
        • If the key lock-in prevention function buzzer sounds, electric waves from the indoor electrical key oscillator may be leaking from the vehicle.
        • Inspect the front passenger side door using the same procedure.
    3. Check the entry luggage compartment open function.
      1. Perform a wireless lock operation to lock the doors, operate the unlock switch of the back door opener switch assembly while carrying the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly and check that the door unlocks.

      2. Inspect the entry luggage compartment door unlock operating range. While standing at the rear of the vehicle, hold the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly so that it is facing the direction shown in the above illustration at the same height as the back door opener switch assembly and approximately 0.7 m (2.30 ft.) from the vehicle, press the unlock switch of the back door opener switch assembly and check that the luggage compartment door open.
    4. Check the key lock-in prevention function (in luggage compartment).
      1. Place the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly in the luggage compartment with all doors locked. Check that: 1) closing the luggage compartment door triggers the key wireless buzzer (which lasts approximately 2 seconds), and 2) pressing the back door opener switch assembly opens the luggage compartment door.
      2. Inspect the key lock-in prevention detection area. Pay attention to the direction of the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly shown in the illustration. When the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is in either of the 2 locations in the illustration, check that: 1) closing the luggage compartment door sounds the wireless buzzer, and 2) pressing the back door opener switch assembly.

        *1 Electrical Key Transmitter Sub-assembly
        *a 0.1 m or more (0.328 ft. or more)

        HINT: 

        • When the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is over 0.1 m (0.328 ft.) from the rear bumper, the wireless buzzer does not sound.
        • If the warning buzzer sounds, the No. 3 indoor electrical key oscillator (inside luggage compartment) may have a wave leak.
    5. Check the push start function (for Automatic Transmission).
      1. With the engine switch off, move the shift lever to P, depress the brake pedal while carrying the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly and check that the entry key indicator light in the combination meter assembly illuminates green. Then, with the entry key indicator light in the combination meter assembly illuminates green, press the engine switch and check that the engine starts.
      2. With the brake pedal released and the engine switch off, press the engine 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. However, if the shift lever is in any position other than P while the engine switch is on (IG), the power source mode will not change to off, but to on (ACC).
      3. Stop the vehicle, press the engine switch and check that the power source mode changes to off (the engine stops and all electrical systems are off). However, if the shift lever is in any position other than P, even if the engine switch is pressed while the vehicle is stationary, the power source mode will not change to off, but to on (ACC). Move the shift lever to P, open the door and check that the steering lock operates.
      4. Inspect the entry ignition 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 engine can be started.

        • Communication may not be possible if the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is within 0.2 m (0.66 ft.) of the shift lever.

        HINT: 

        Perform the inspection for both inspection points.

      5. Inspect the push start operating range (inside luggage). Place the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly at either inspection point and check that the engine can be started.

    6. Check the push start function (for Manual Transmission).
      1. With the engine switch off, depress the clutch pedal while carrying the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly and check that the entry key indicator light in the combination meter assembly illuminates green. Then, with the entry key indicator light in the combination meter assembly illuminates green, press the engine switch and check that the engine starts.
      2. With the clutch pedal released and the engine switch off, press the engine 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 engine switch and check that the power source mode changes to off (the engine stops and all electrical systems are off). Open the door and check that the steering lock operates.
      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 engine can be started.
