DTC Code DTC Name
B279A Theft Deterrent System Communication Line High Fixation

DESCRIPTION

When the communication line (IMI - EFIO) between the ECM and ID code box (immobiliser code ECU) is stuck high, the ECM stores this DTC.

DTC Code DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area DTC Output Confirmation Operation
B279A The communication line (IMI - EFIO) between the ECM and ID code box (immobiliser code ECU) is stuck on HI output (1 trip detection logic*1).

  • Wire harness or connector (disconnection or break in wire harness is main cause)

  • ID code box (immobiliser code ECU)

  • ECM

 Turn the engine switch on (IG) and wait 6 seconds.

Note


  • When replacing the ID code box (immobiliser code ECU), refer to the entry and start system (for Entry Function) Click here.

  • When replacing the ECM, refer to the INITIALIZATION Click here.

  • After performing repairs, perform the operation that fulfills the DTC output confirmation operation, and then confirm that no DTCs are output again.

Tech Tips

When DTC B279A and the certification ECU DTC are output simultaneously, first perform troubleshooting for the certification ECU DTC.

    CONNECT CONNECTORS PROPERLY

    OK

  4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ID CODE BOX (IMMOBILISER CODE ECU) - ECM)


    1. Disconnect the F60 ID code box (immobiliser code ECU) connector.

    2. Disconnect the A71*1 or A58*2 or A59*3 ECM connector.


      • *1: for 1KR-FE

      • *2: for 1NR-FE

      • *3: for 1ND-TV

    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
      for 1KR-FE
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      F60-4 (EFIO) - A71-39 (IMI) Always Below 1 Ω
      F60-4 (EFIO) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      for 1NR-FE
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      F60-4 (EFIO) - A58-28 (IMI) Always Below 1 Ω
      F60-4 (EFIO) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      for 1ND-TV
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      F60-4 (EFIO) - A59-77 (IMI) Always Below 1 Ω
      F60-4 (EFIO) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    4. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Voltage
      for 1KR-FE
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A71-39 (IMI) - Body ground Always Below 1 V
      for 1NR-FE
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A58-28 (IMI) - Body ground Always Below 1 V
      for 1ND-TV
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      A59-77 (IMI) - Body ground Always Below 1 V
