ENGINE IMMOBILISER SYSTEM (w/ Smart Entry and Start System), Diagnostic DTC:B2779

DTC Code DTC Name
B2779 Engine Starter Communication Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

If communication between the remote engine start ECU and certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) cannot be performed even if a remote start operation is performed to try changing the power source mode to on (IG) or start the engine, this DTC is stored.

When the remote engine start ECU does not respond to the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly), this DTC is stored. When communication with the remote engine start ECU is established, this DTC is cleared.

PROCEDURE


  1. READ VALUE USING GTS (WIRELESS C CODE)


    1. Turn the engine switch off.

    2. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    3. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

    4. Turn the GTS on.

    5. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Entry & Start / Data List.

    6. According to the display on the GTS, read the Data List.

      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Wireless C Code Registration status between remote engine start ECU and certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) / No Regd or Regd

      No Regd: ID not registered between remote engine start ECU and certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly)

      Regd: ID registered between remote engine start ECU and certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly)

      Problems may be caused by the following:


      • DTC B2779 is stored.

      • Remote engine start ECU registration has not been performed.

      • Malfunctions in the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) or remote engine start ECU.
