      Tester Display Measurement Item Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Unmatched Vehicle-ID Key No. (incorrect or correct) Yes or No Yes: Communication malfunction
      No: Communication normal
      The vehicle ID registered in the vehicle and the vehicle ID registered in the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly are different (if a key from another vehicle is brought into the vehicle exterior detection area while the doors are locked, "Yes" is displayed for "Unmatched Vehicle-ID" in the Data List).
      Other potential causes:
      • An electrical key transmitter sub-assembly from a different vehicle is being used.
      • A communication error due to wave interference.
      • The electrical key transmitter sub-assembly or certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) is malfunctioning.

      "New Key ID Registration Stopped (Key Type Malfunction)" is displayed D

    Result: 

    NEW KEY REGISTRATION FAILED, CHECK THE KEY 

    1. Check if a registered electrical key transmitter sub-assembly was held near the engine switch instead of an unregistered electrical key transmitter sub-assembly by mistake.
    2. Perform registration again using an unregistered electrical key transmitter sub-assembly. If the same problem occurs again, replace the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly).

    Result: 

    CHECK RETRY THE REGISTRATION PROCEDURE 

    Result: 

    REPLACE ELECTRICAL KEY TRANSMITTER SUB-ASSEMBLY 

    Result: 

    See step  4

  4. CHECK PUSH-BUTTON START FUNCTION 
    1. Remove the transmitter battery from the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly.
