        Tech Tips

        If a new or known good transmitter 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 electrical key transmitter sub-assembly, as shown in the illustration.

      3. From outside the vehicle, approximately 1 m (3.28 ft.) from the driver door outside door handle, test the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly by pointing its key plate at the vehicle and pressing an electrical key transmitter sub-assembly switch.

        OK
        The door lock can be operated via the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly.
        The LED comes on more than once.

        • The operational area differs depending on the user, the way the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is held, and the location.

        • The weak radio waves of the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly may be affected if the area has strong radio waves or noise. The electrical key transmitter sub-assembly operation area may be shortened or the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly may not function.

    2. Check the transmitter battery capacity.


      1. Remove the transmitter battery 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 transmitter battery will not be able to be installed correctly.

        Check the transmitter battery voltage.

        Tech Tips


        • When measuring the transmitter battery voltage, while operating the lock sensor of a door handle, bring the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly within the entry operating range to perform the measurement. For the entry operating range, refer to System Description.

        • Perform the measurement when the key is at room temperature.

        • The key sends voltage information to the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) when it is transmitting. When this voltage is 2.1 V or less the Data List item "Key Low Battery" displays "Yes".

        Standard Voltage
        Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
        Transmitter battery positive (+) - Transmitter battery negative (-) Engine switch off, all doors closed and lock sensor touched 2.5 to 3.2 V

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