DESCRIPTION
If the entry lock and unlock functions do not operate, the entry cancel function may be set through the customize function, there may be communication problems between the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly and vehicle, or there may be wave interference.
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
Note
The 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.
Troubleshoot the entry and start system (for Entry Function) after confirming that the communication systems are functioning properly.
When using the GTS with the vehicle engine switch off, connect the GTS to the vehicle and turn a courtesy light switch on and off at intervals of 1.5 seconds or less until communication between the GTS and the vehicle begins. Then select the Model Code "KEY REGIST" under manual mode and enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Entry&Start(CAN).
While using the GTS, periodically turn a courtesy light switch on and off at intervals of 1.5 seconds or less to maintain communication between the GTS and the vehicle.
Using key diagnostic mode, check that there is no other electrical key transmitter sub-assembly in the cabin.
Before replacing the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) or electrical key transmitter sub-assembly, refer to the entry and start system (for Entry Function) precaution.
After repair, confirm that no DTCs are output by performing the "DTC Output Confirmation Operation".
Tech Tips
If all door entry lock and unlock functions do not operate, the cause of the malfunction may be stored in the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly).
If the cause of the malfunction is stored in the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly), the following table is helpful in checking whether the malfunction was caused by wave interference.
| Tester Display |
|---|
| Operation History |
| Parameter Name | Cause of Problem and Countermeasure |
|---|---|
| Lock / Key RF Signal Interference | When entry lock operation was performed, the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly could not be confirmed due to wave interference. |
| Unlock / Key RF Signal Interference | When entry unlock operation was performed, the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly could not be confirmed due to wave interference. |
PROCEDURE
CHECK POWER DOOR LOCK CONTROL SYSTEM
When the door control switch on the power window master switch on the driver door is operated, check that the doors unlock and lock according to the switch operation.
| OK |
|---|
| Door locks operate normally |

READ VALUE USING GTS (AUTO ENTRY CANCEL SW)
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the engine switch on (IG).
Turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Entry&Start / Data List.
According to the display on the GTS, read the Data List.
| Tester Display | Measurement Item | Range | Normal Condition | Diagnostic Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Auto Entry Cancel SW | Entry cancel function setting | OFF or ON | Mode status displayed ON: Entry and start system canceled OFF: Entry and start system not canceled |
The default setting for the entry cancel function is OFF. If the customer requests that the entry and start system functions (locking and unlocking the doors while carrying the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly, etc.) be canceled, the setting can be changed through the customize function.* |

CHECK WAVE ENVIRONMENT
Move the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly as described below and perform the operation inspection.
Tech Tips
When the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is brought near the front door outside handle or electrical key antenna, the possibility of wave interference decreases, and it can be determined if wave interference is causing the problem symptom.
The transmitting wave of the wireless function and entry function are the same, but the wave logic is different. As a result, it is possible that only the wireless function or only the entry function is affected by wave interference.
| *a | Approximately 0.3 m (0.984 ft.) |
Bring the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly approximately 0.3 m (0.984 ft.) from the front door outside handle assembly RH and perform a driver door entry lock and unlock operation check.
Note
If the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is brought within 0.2 m (0.656 ft.) of the door handle, communication may not be possible.
| *a | Approximately 0.3 m (0.984 ft.) |
Bring the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly approximately 0.3 m (0.984 ft.) from the front door outside handle assembly LH and perform a passenger door entry lock and unlock operation check.
Note
If the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is brought within 0.2 m (0.656 ft.) of the door handle, communication may not be possible.
Tech Tips
If the inspection result is that the problem only occurs in certain locations or at certain times of day, the possibility of wave interference is high.
Also, added vehicle components may cause wave interference. If installed, remove them and perform the operation check.
If wave interference seems to be the likely cause of the problem, ask the customer if the problem occurs in specific locations.
Move the vehicle to a different location, perform the following procedure and check if the symptoms can be reproduced.
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 key diagnostic mode.
Select either channel 1 or channel 2 and perform the key diagnostic mode inspection 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.
