        Install a new or normal battery (lithium battery: CR1632) Click here.

        Tech Tips

        If a new or normal battery is not available, first connect 2 new 1.5 V batteries in series. Then connect leads to the batteries and apply 3 V to the transmitter as shown in the illustration.

      3. From outside the vehicle, approximately 1 m (3.28 ft.) away from the driver side outside door handle, test the transmitter by pointing its key plate at the vehicle and pressing a transmitter switch.

        OK
        The door lock can be operated via the transmitter.
        The LED comes on more than once.

        • The operational area differs depending on the user, the way the transmitter is held, and the location.

        • The weak electric waves of the transmitter may be affected if the area has strong electric waves or noise. The transmitter operation area may be shortened or the transmitter may not function.

    2. Inspect the battery capacity.


      1. Remove the battery Click here from the electrical key transmitter that does not operate. Attach a lead wire (0.6 mm (0.0236 in.) in diameter or less including wire sheath) with tape or equivalent to the negative terminal.

        Note


        • Do not wrap the lead wire around a terminal, wedge it between the terminals, or solder it. A terminal may be deformed or damaged, and the battery will not be able to be installed correctly.

        • When replacing the transmitter battery, before starting work, remove static electricity that has built up in the body by touching, for example, the vehicle to prevent the electrical transmitter from being damaged.

        Check the transmitter battery voltage.

        Tech Tips

        When measuring the battery voltage, while operating the lock switch of a door handle, bring the electrical key transmitter within the entry operating range to perform the measurement. For the entry operating range, refer to Operation Check Click here.

        Standard Voltage
        Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
        Transmitter battery positive (+) - Transmitter battery negative (-) Engine switch off, all doors closed and lock sensor touched 2.3 to 3.2 V

        If the result is not as specified, replace the transmitter battery.

  2. INSPECT ELECTRICAL KEY TRANSMITTER (for Card Type)


    1. Inspect the operation of the transmitter.


      1. Remove the battery (lithium battery: CR2412) from the transmitter Click here.

        Install a new or normal battery (lithium battery: CR2412) Click here.

        Tech Tips

        If a new or normal battery is not available, first connect 2 new 1.5 V batteries in series. Then connect leads to the batteries and apply 3 V to the transmitter as shown in the illustration.

      3. Hold the electrical key (card type) facing towards the vehicle approximately 1 m (3.28 ft.) away from the driver side front door outside handle assembly and check that the doors lock when the lock switch on the driver side front door outside handle assembly is pressed.

        OK
        All doors can be locked.

        Note


        • Make sure the power switch is off.

        • Make sure to close all doors.

        • Do not wedge the tip of the tester lead between the terminals, as a terminal may be deformed or damaged.

    2. Inspect the battery capacity.


      1. Remove the battery Click here from the card key that does not operate. Attach a lead wire to the negative (-) and positive (+) side of the battery with tape or equivalent.

        Note

        Do not wrap the lead wire around a terminal, wedge it between the terminals, or solder it. A terminal may be deformed or damaged, and the battery will not be able to be installed correctly.

        Tech Tips

        When measuring the battery voltage, while operating the lock switch of a door handle, bring the card key within the entry operation range to perform the measurement. For the entry operation range, refer to Operation Check Click here.

        Standard Voltage
        Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
        Transmitter battery positive (+) - Transmitter battery negative (-) Engine switch off, all doors closed and lock sensor touched 2.3 to 3.2 V

        If the result is not as specified, replace the transmitter battery.

        Note

        Before measuring the battery voltage, make sure that the positive (+) side of the battery is set towards the LEXUS mark side.
