DESCRIPTION
If the alarm function of the theft deterrent system operates unintentionally, one of the following may be the cause.
Short to ground in any door courtesy light switch circuit or the engine hood courtesy switch (hood lock assembly) circuit.
Unstable main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) power source voltage.
Tech Tips
Preconditions for arming preparation:

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
Note
Before replacing the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU), refer to Service Bulletin.*
*: w/ Smart Entry and Start System
The theft deterrent system uses the CAN communication system. Inspect the communication function by following How to Proceed with Troubleshooting. Troubleshoot the theft deterrent system after confirming that the communication system is functioning properly.*
*: w/ Smart Entry and Start System
The following troubleshooting procedure is based on the assumption that systems related to the theft deterrent system are normal. Confirm that the systems related to the theft deterrent system are not malfunctioning before performing the following procedure.
If the vehicle or vehicle controls are operated (for example, during initial inspection when the vehicle is brought in for repair) before operation history has been read and saved, the operation history information could be lost.
The operation history function uses the current system time of the GTS and the time counter inside the controlling ECU to calculate the times shown in the operation history. For this reason, before reading the operation history, first make sure that the GTS system clock is accurately set to the current time.
The vehicle battery supplies power to the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) via the door control battery. Therefore, before performing this troubleshooting procedure, make sure to perform an on-vehicle inspection to confirm that the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) power source circuit is normal.*
*: w/ Door Control Battery
PROCEDURE
CHECK THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM OPERATION HISTORY
Use the GTS to check the theft deterrent system operation history around the time the customer reported the malfunction to have occurred.
Check if there is operation history around the time that the customer reported the malfunction to have occurred, and perform an operation check.
