ENTRY AND START SYSTEM OPERATION INSPECTION
Check the entry unlock function.
Use the wireless lock operation to lock the doors. With the key outside the vehicle, touch a door outside handle (unlock sensor) and check that the door unlocks.
Check the entry unlock operation detection area.
Step 1: Hold the key at the same height as the door outside handle (approximately 0.8 m (2.62 ft.)). Make sure that the direction of the key is as shown in the illustration.
Step 2: Check that when the key is brought within 0.7 to 1.0 m (2.30 to 3.28 ft.) of the vehicle, the system enters unlock standby mode.
Tech Tips
When the system enters unlock standby mode, the key LED illuminates.
Step 3: After the system enters unlock standby mode, touch the outside handle sensor within 3 seconds. Check that the door unlocks.
Note
The key may not be able to communicate with the system within a 0.2 m (7.874 in.) radius of each outside handle.
Step 4: Repeat step 2 and step 3 for the remaining doors.
Step 5: Inspect the door electrical key oscillator response sensitivity. Wear protective gloves, set the system to unlock standby mode, and check that touching the inside of the door outside handle (the highlighted area shown in the illustration) with your finger causes the door to unlock.
Note
When touching the highlighted area, touching too quickly or having extended contact may not trigger the sensor. In such a case, the door will not unlock.
Step 6: Repeat step 5 for the remaining doors.
Check the entry lock function.
Step 1: Close all doors of the vehicle. With the key outside the vehicle, check that touching the lock sensor locks the doors.
Tech Tips
When touch the lock sensor, hold the electrical key transmitter about 1 m (3.28 ft.) above the ground and about 0.3 m (0.984 ft.) away from the vehicle as shown in the illustration.
Due to the key being unable to communicate with the system within a 0.2 m (7.874 in.) distance from the outside handle, do not touch the lock sensor with the same hand that is holding the key. The doors may not lock.
If the key lock-in prevention function buzzer sounds, radio waves from the indoor electrical key oscillator may be leaking from the vehicle. Perform the same check for the front passenger side and rear doors.
Step 2: Repeat step 1 for the remaining doors.
Check the entry back door function.
Close the back door. With the key outside the vehicle, check that pressing the back door open switch opens the back door.
Inspect the entry back door operation's detection area. Hold the key at the same height as the back door opener switch assembly (approximately 0.8 m (2.62 ft.)) aligning it with the center of the rear of the vehicle. Make sure that the direction of the key is as shown in the illustration. Check that when the key is brought within 0.7 to 1.0 m (2.30 to 3.28 ft.) of the vehicle, pressing the back door open switch opens the back door.
Check the engine start function.
When the engine is stopped:
With the key inside the vehicle and the brake pedal (for Continuously Variable Transaxle) or clutch pedal (for Manual Transaxle) depressed, check that pressing the engine switch releases the steering wheel lock and starts the engine.
Tech Tips
The engine can be started only when the engine switch indicator illuminates in green.
When the engine is running:
With the key inside the vehicle, check that pressing the engine switch stops the engine and activates the steering wheel lock.
Tech Tips
The shift lever must be in P to stop the engine (for Continuously Variable Transaxle).
Inspect the detection area for the engine start function (front side). Make sure that the direction of the electrical key is as shown in the illustration. When the electrical key is in either of the 2 inspection points shown in the illustration, check that the engine can start.
Note
The engine cannot be started when the key is on the instrument panel or floor.
Check the key cancel function.
While the engine switch is on (IG), check that the back door open switch is the only switch that can be operated in the entry and start system.
While the key cancel function (entry and start system cancel function) is on, check that all functions of the entry and start system cannot be operated.
Check the answer-back function (hazard warning light flashing and buzzer sounding).
| Entry Operation | Hazard Warning Light | Buzzer |
|---|---|---|
| Entry Door Lock | Flashes once | - |
| Entry Door Unlock | Flashes twice | - |
Check that the key reminder warning buzzer sounds.
With the key inside the vehicle, close the driver side door. Then turn the engine switch off or on (ACC).
Open the driver side door and check that the buzzer sounds intermittently.
Check that the key reminder warning buzzer stops.
When the buzzer is sounding, check that the buzzer stops sounding if either of the following is performed:
Close the driver side door (front door courtesy light switch is off).
Turn the engine switch on (IG).
KEY DIAGNOSTIC MODE
Tech Tips
Key diagnostic mode checks if the key within a selected oscillator detection area is operating normally. The results are output through the wireless door lock buzzer.
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the engine switch on (IG).
Turn the intelligent tester on.
Enter the following menus: Body / Entry & Start / Key Communication Check.
Check the values by referring to the table below.
| Tester Display | Inspection Range |
|---|---|
| Overhead + Driver Side*1 | Door electrical key oscillator (for driver side) |
| Overhead + Passenger Side*2 | Door electrical key oscillator (for passenger side) |
| Overhead + Front Room*3 | Indoor electrical key oscillator ( front side) |
| Overhead + Back Door (inside)*4 | Indoor electrical key oscillator (rear side) |
| Overhead + Back Door*5 | Outside electrical key oscillator (outside luggage) |
When the key is brought near the selected oscillator, check that the wireless door lock buzzer sounds.
*1: Door electrical key oscillator (for driver side)
Tech Tips
Hold the key at the same height as the door outside handle (0.7 to 1.0 m (2.30 to 3.28 ft.)). Make sure that the direction of the key is as shown in the illustration.
*2: Perform the same inspection above for the door electrical key oscillator (for passenger side).
*3: Indoor electrical key oscillator (front side)
Tech Tips
Place the key on the driver or front passenger seat cushion.
*4: Indoor electrical key oscillator (rear side)
Tech Tips
Place the key on the luggage area.
*5: Outside electrical key oscillator (outside luggage)
Tech Tips
Hold the key at the same height as the rear bumper upper surface and align it with the center of the rear of the vehicle, as shown in the illustration.
