DESCRIPTION
If code verification cannot be performed in the vehicle interior, there may be problems with the communication between the vehicle (indoor electrical key antenna assembly (front floor) or (rear floor)) and electrical key transmitter sub-assembly, or the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) may be malfunctioning. When the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is brought into the vehicle, verification of the key ID code transmitted from the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly and the key ID code stored in the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) is performed. If verification cannot be performed or the codes do not match, the engine switch cannot be turned on (IG) and the engine cannot be started.
When a door is unlocked and the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is brought into the vehicle, the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) activates the indoor electrical key antenna assembly which transmits radio waves to detect the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly. If the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly recognizes that it is in the detection area, it responds with the key ID code. This information is received by the indoor electrical key antenna and then sent to the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly).
Tech Tips
If the cause of the malfunction is stored in the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly), the following table is helpful in checking whether or not the malfunction was caused by wave interference.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
Note
The smart entry and start system (for Entry Function) uses a multiplex communication system (LIN communication system) and the CAN communication system. Inspect the communication function by following How to Proceed with Troubleshooting Click here. Troubleshoot the smart entry and start system (for Entry Function) after confirming that the communication systems are functioning properly.
When using the intelligent tester with the engine switch off to troubleshoot:
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3 and turn a courtesy light switch on and off at 1.5-second intervals until communication between the intelligent tester and vehicle begins.
Before replacing the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly), refer to the smart entry and start system (for Entry Function) precaution Click here.
After repair, confirm that no DTCs are output by performing the "DTC Output Confirmation Operation".
The indoor electrical key antenna assemblies have an antenna coil between each two CLG terminals.
PROCEDURE
CHECK ENTRY DOOR LOCK OPERATION
Check that the entry lock and unlock functions operate for each door Click here.
Tech Tips
If the door control receiver is defective, code verification does not begin in the cabin and the entry functions do not operate.

| *B | for Type B |
| *1 | Engine Switch |
| *2 | Electrical Key Transmitter Sub-assembly |
Remove the transmitter battery of the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly Click here.
With the brake pedal depressed, hold the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly near the engine switch and then press the engine switch.
When operating the engine switch, check whether the engine starts.
Tech Tips
When the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly cannot be verified even though it is inside the detection area, the engine start check can be performed by removing the transmitter battery from the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly and holding the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly near the engine switch.
If the engine cannot be started when performing this inspection, the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) may be malfunctioning.

CHECK WAVE ENVIRONMENT
Install the transmitter battery to the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly Click here.
Bring the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly near the No. 1 indoor electrical key antenna assembly (front floor) and perform a smart entry and start system check Click here.
Note
Communication may not be possible if the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is within 0.2 m (0.656 ft.) of the shift lever.
Bring the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly near the No. 2 indoor electrical key antenna assembly (rear floor) and perform a smart entry and start system check Click here
Tech Tips
Check that the customize status of the "Ignition Available Area" has been "All".
Note
Communication may not be possible if the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is within 0.2 m (0.656 ft.) of the center of the rear seat cushion.
Tech Tips
As the effect of wave interference decreases by moving the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly close to the each indoor electrical key antenna assembly, it may be possible to check whether wave interference is the cause of the problem.
If the problem only occurs in specific places or at specific times, wave interference may be the cause of the problem. Also, the vehicle may be have the effects of wave interference with the parts installed by the dealer. As a result, when parts have been installed by the dealer, it may be necessary to remove those parts before inspecting the vehicle.
There may be wave interference if the vehicle is near broadcasting antennas, large video displays, wireless garage door opener systems, wireless security cameras, home security systems, etc. In this case, move the vehicle to a different location and check if there is any improvement.
If a tool for checking electric waves, such as a signal strength meter, is available, move around the area while observing both the LF band (used by the vehicle antenna to form the detection area) and RF band (used by the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly for transmission) to check for locations where there is wave interference.

CHECK KEY DIAGNOSTIC MODE
Check the following antennas in the key diagnostic mode Click here.
Select either channel 1 or channel 2 and inspect the key diagnostic mode for each channel.
Tech Tips
If the buzzer sounds with [CH1] displayed but not with [CH2], the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly cannot be detected by channel 2 due to a malfunction, such as wave interference.
| *A | for Type A |
| *B | for Type B |
| *a | Inspection Point |
Check the No. 1 indoor electrical key antenna assembly (front floor).
When the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is at the inspection point, check that the wireless door lock buzzer sounds.
| *A | for Type A |
| *B | for Type B |
| *a | Inspection Point |
Check the No. 2 indoor electrical key antenna assembly (rear floor).
When the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is at the inspection point, check that the wireless door lock buzzer sounds.
Tech Tips
If the buzzer sounds, it can be determined that the vehicle interior transmitters are operating normally.
It is possible to check which indoor electrical key antenna assembly (front floor or rear floor) is operating by the sounding of the buzzer.
If the buzzer does not sound for any indoor electrical key antenna assemblies, the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) circuit may have a malfunction.
