Tech Tips
Troubleshooting of the theft deterrent system is based on the premise that the door lock control system and the wireless door lock control system are operating normally. Accordingly, before troubleshooting the theft deterrent system, first make certain that the door lock control system and the wireless door lock control system are operating normally.
The following is the troubleshooting procedure for the theft deterrent system of a vehicle with the smart entry and start system.
Inspect the fuse and relay before investigating the suspected areas shown in the table below.
| Symptom | Suspected Area | See page |
|---|---|---|
