SMART ENTRY AND START SYSTEM(for Entry Function), Diagnostic DTC:B27A3

DTC Code DTC Name
B27A3 Open in Rear Door Electrical Antenna Circuit, Drivers Side

DESCRIPTION

The certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) generates a request signal and transmits the signal to the rear door outside handle assembly LH (for rear door LH) (electrical key antenna) at intervals of 0.25 seconds. For the rear door outside handle assembly LH (for rear door LH) (electrical key antenna) to detect when the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is brought close to the vehicle, a signal requesting a response from the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is transmitted within approximately 1 m (3.28 ft.) of the rear door LH at intervals of 0.25 seconds. DTC B27A3 is stored by the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) when an open circuit is detected between the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) and rear door outside handle assembly LH (for rear door LH) (electrical key antenna) (between terminals CLG3 and ANT1, or terminals CG3B and ANT2).

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

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 GTS with the vehicle power 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.

  • 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 rear door outside handle assembly LH (for rear door LH) has an antenna coil between ANT1 and ANT2 terminals.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK CONNECTOR CONNECTION


    1. Turn the power switch off.

    2. Check that the connectors are properly connected to the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) and rear door outside handle assembly LH (for rear door LH).

      OK
      Connectors are properly connected.

    NG

    CONNECT CONNECTORS PROPERLY

    OK

  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (CERTIFICATION ECU - REAR DOOR OUTSIDE HANDLE ASSEMBLY LH AND BODY GROUND)


    1. Disconnect the Q2 and H57 certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) connectors.

    2. Disconnect the O8 rear door outside handle assembly LH (for rear door LH) connector.

    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      Q2-17 (CLG3) - O8-6 (ANT1) Always Below 1 Ω
      Q2-18 (CG3B) - O8-3 (ANT2) Always Below 1 Ω
      H57-1 (E) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω
      O8-2 (GND) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω
      Q2-17 (CLG3) or O8-6 (ANT1) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      Q2-18 (CG3B) or O8-3 (ANT2) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    NG

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

    OK

  3. CHECK CERTIFICATION ECU (SMART KEY ECU ASSEMBLY) (OUTPUT TO REAR LH SIDE ELECTRICAL KEY ANTENNA)


    1. Connect the Q2 and H57 certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) connectors.
