    Result: 

    NG 

    GO TO POWER DOOR LOCK CONTROL SYSTEM. Refer to  HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING [07/2020 - ] 

    Result: 

    OK 

    See step  2

  2. CHECK WAVE ENVIRONMENT 
    1. Bring the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly approximately 0.3 m (0.984 ft.) from the electrical key antenna (outside luggage compartment) and perform an entry back door open/lock function check.

      Refer to OPERATION CHECK [07/2020 - ]

      HINT: 

      • Communication may not be possible if the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is within 0.2 m (0.656 ft.) of the electrical key antenna (outside luggage compartment)
      • When the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is brought near the electrical key antenna (outside luggage compartment), the possibility of wave interference decreases, and it can be determined if wave interference is causing the problem symptom.
      • 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.
      • There may be wave interference if the vehicle is near broadcasting antennas, large video displays, wireless garage door opener systems, wireless security cameras, home security systems, etc. In this case, move the vehicle to a different location and check if there is any improvement.
      • If a tool for checking radio waves, such as a signal strength meter, is available, move around the area while observing both the LF band (used by the vehicle antenna to form the detection area) and RF band (used by the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly for transmission) to check for locations where there is wave interference.

      ON: License plate light assembly with back door opener switch (lock switch) pressed
      • Displays whether the license plate light assembly with back door opener switch (lock switch) is on or off.
      • Use this Data List item to help determine if there is a switch malfunction when the back door lock function does not operate.
      Trunk Lid/Back Door Unlock Switch License plate light assembly with back door opener switch (open switch) OFF or ON OFF: License plate light assembly with back door opener switch (open switch) not pressed
      ON: License plate light assembly with back door opener switch (open switch) pressed
      • Displays whether the license plate light assembly with back door opener switch (unlock switch) is on or off.
      • Use this Data List item to help determine if there is a switch malfunction when the entry back door open function does not operate.

      *1 Electrical Key Transmitter Sub-assembly
      *a 0.7 to 1 m (2.30 to 3.28 ft.)

      The illustrations shown are examples only.

      1. Check the electrical key antenna (outside luggage compartment):

        When the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is brought within 0.7 to 1 m (2.30 to 3.28 ft.) of the electrical key antenna (outside luggage compartment), check that the wireless buzzer sounds.

        HINT: 

        • Select either channel 1 or channel 2 and perform the key diagnostic mode inspection for each channel.
        • If the buzzer sounds with [CH1] displayed but not with [CH2], the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly cannot be detected by channel 2 due to a malfunction, such as wave interference.
