ENTRY AND START SYSTEM(for Entry Function), Diagnostic DTC:B27A8

DTC Code DTC Name
B27A8 Open in Outside Luggage Compartment Electrical Key Antenna Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) generates a request signal and transmits the signal to the electrical key antenna (outside luggage compartment). For the electrical key antenna (outside luggage compartment) to detect when the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is brought close to the vehicle, the received request signal is transmitted within approximately 1 m (3.28 ft.) of the luggage compartment door. DTC B27A8 is stored by the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) when an open is detected between the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) and electrical key antenna (outside luggage compartment) (between terminals CLG8 and ANTE8, or terminals CG8B and CLGB).

DTC No. Detection Item DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area Note
B27A8 Open in Outside Luggage Compartment Electrical Key Antenna Circuit An open is detected in the circuit between the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) and electrical key antenna (outside luggage compartment) (CLG8 - ANTE8, CG8B - CLGB) (1 trip detection logic*).

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note


  • When using the GTS with the power switch off, connect the GTS to the DLC3 and turn a courtesy light switch on and off at intervals of 1.5 seconds or less until communication between the GTS and the vehicle begins. Then select Model Code "KEY REGIST" under manual mode and enter the following menus: Body Electrical /Entry&Start. While using the GTS, periodically turn a courtesy light switch on and off at intervals of 1.5 seconds or less to maintain communication between the GTS and the vehicle.

  • The entry and start system (for Entry Function) uses the LIN communication system and CAN communication system. Inspect the communication function by following How to Proceed with Troubleshooting. Troubleshoot the entry and start system (for Entry Function) after confirming that the communication systems are functioning properly.
