DESCRIPTION
If only the charging port lid entry unlock function does not operate, the request code may not be being transmitted from the No. 2 electrical key antenna (extra antenna) or the charging cable connector lock/unlock function may be malfunctioning. If the entry functions for the doors operate properly, communication between the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly and electrical key and tire pressure monitoring system receiver assembly is normal. In this case, there may be a problem with request code transmission (communication between the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) and No. 2 electrical key antenna (extra antenna), or there may be wave interference.
WIRING DIAGRAM
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
Note
The entry and start system (for Entry Function) uses the LIN communication system and 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 power switch off, connect the GTS to the DLC3 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 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.
Before replacing the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly), refer to Precaution.
After repair, confirm that no DTCs are output.

CHECK WAVE ENVIRONMENT
| *A | Type A |
| *B | Type B |
| *1 | Charging Connector Lock/Unlock Switch |
| *2 | Charging Port Lid |
| *3 | Lock Pin |
| *a | Approximately 0.3 m (0.984 ft.) |
Bring the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly approximately 0.3 m (0.984 ft.) from the charging connector lock/unlock switch and perform an entry function check.
Tech Tips
Communication may not be possible if the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is within 0.2 m (0.656 ft.) of the No. 2 electrical key antenna (extra antenna).
When the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is brought near the No. 2 electrical key antenna (extra antenna), the possibility of wave interference decreases, and it can be determined if wave interference is causing the problem symptom.
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.
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 radio 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 antenna in key diagnostic mode.
| Tester Display |

| Communication Check(Key Diag Mode) |
Select either channel 1 or channel 2 and perform key diagnostic mode inspection for each channel.
| *1 | Charging Port Lid |
| *a | 0.7 to 1 m (2.30 to 3.28 ft.) |
Check the No. 2 electrical key antenna (extra antenna):
When the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is brought within 0.7 to 1 m (2.30 to 3.28 ft.) of the charging port lid, check that the wireless buzzer sounds.
Tech Tips
Select either channel 1 or channel 2 and perform the key diagnostic mode inspection for each channel.
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.
