WIRELESS DOOR CONTROL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
This system locks and unlocks the vehicle's doors remotely. The wireless control system has the following functions and features:
The door control receiver performs the code identification process and the body ECU operates the door lock control. A serial data link is provided for communication between the door control receiver and the body ECU.
A key-integrated type transmitter is used and it has a door lock switch and door unlock switch.
The wireless door lock control system has the following functions:
| Function | Outline |
|---|---|
| All door lock operation | Pressing the LOCK switch locks all doors when all doors are closed. |
| All door unlock operation | Pressing the UNLOCK switch unlocks all doors. |
| Automatic lock function | If any of the doors is not opened within 30 seconds after they are unlocked by the wireless operation, all doors will lock again automatically. |
| Answer back operation | Hazard warning lights flash once when the doors are locked, and flash twice when the doors are unlocked. These flashes indicate completion of operation. |
| Repeat function | If any door is not locked in response to the locking operation by the LOCK switch, the body ECU will output a lock signal after 1 second. |
OPERATION INTERLOCK FUNCTION
Lock operation is not available when:
Any of the doors is open.
The key is in the ignition switch cylinder.
Unlock operation is not available when:
The key is in the ignition switch cylinder.
FUNCTION OF MAIN COMPONENTS
| Components | Functions |
|---|---|
| Door control transmitter |
|
| Door control receiver | Receives weak electric waves (recognition codes and function codes) and outputs them as code data to the body ECU. |
|
Turns on when a door is opened and off when a door is closed. Outputs door status (open or closed) to the body ECU. |
| Unlock warning switch | Detects whether the key is (not) inserted in the ignition switch. |
| Door lock position switch | Transmits the door lock positions of each door to the body ECU. |
| Body ECU | Transmits wireless door lock control signals in response to the code data from the door control receiver and signals from each switch. |
TRANSMITTER RECOGNITION CODE REGISTRATION FUNCTION
The table below shows the 4 special coded ID registration function modes through which up to 4 different codes can be registered. The codes are electronically registered (written to and stored) in the EEPROM that is contained in the body ECU.
| Mode | Function |
|---|---|
| Add mode | Adds a newly received code while preserving any previously registered codes. The mode is used when adding a new transmitter. If the number of codes exceeds 4, the oldest registered code is erased first. |
| Rewrite mode | Erases all previously registered codes and registers only the newly received codes. |
| Confirmation mode | Confirms how many codes are currently registered. When adding a new code, this mode is used to check how many codes already exist. |
| Prohibition mode | Prohibits the wireless door lock function to delete all the registered codes. This mode is used when the transmitter is lost. |
