DESCRIPTION
If code verification cannot be performed in the vehicle interior, there may be problems with the communication between the vehicle (indoor electrical key antenna assembly [front floor], [rear floor] or [inside luggage]) and key, or the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) may be malfunctioning. When the key is brought into the vehicle, verification of the key ID code transmitted from the key and the key ID code stored in the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) is performed. If verification cannot be performed or the codes do not match, the power switch cannot be turned on (IG) and the hybrid control system cannot be started.
When a door is unlocked and the key is brought into the vehicle, the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) activates the indoor electrical key antenna assembly which transmits electric waves to detect the key. If the key recognizes that it is in the detection area, it responds with the key ID code. This information is received by the indoor electrical key antenna and then sent to the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly).

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
Note
When using the intelligent tester with the power switch off, perform either of the following: 1) Turn a courtesy light switch on and off at intervals of 1.5 seconds or less until communication between the intelligent tester and vehicle begins, or 2) connect the intelligent tester to the vehicle, select the vehicle type under manual mode, and then enter the following menus:
for Power Source Control: Body / Power Source Control / DTC.
for Entry&Start: Body / Entry&Start / DTC.
The push-button start system uses multiplex communication. First perform the inspections in "How to Proceed with Troubleshooting" to confirm that there are no communication malfunctions before proceeding with troubleshooting Click here
After performing repairs, perform the operation that fulfills the DTC output confirmation operation, and then confirm that no DTCs are output again.
When replacing the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly), registration must be performed refer to the Service Bulletin.
Indoor electrical key antenna assembly have an antenna coil between each two CLG terminals.
PROCEDURE
CHECK WIRELESS DOOR LOCK CONTROL SYSTEM
Check that the wireless door lock control system Click here.

GO TO PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE Click here |
| OK |
|
CHECK PUSH-BUTTON START SYSTEM
| *1 | Power Switch |
| *2 | Electrical Key Transmitter |
Remove the battery of the electrical key transmitter Click here.
With the brake pedal depressed, touch the LEXUS mark of the key to the power switch.
When operating the power switch, check whether the hybrid control system starts.
Tech Tips
When the key cannot be verified even though it is inside the detection area, the hybrid control system start check can be performed by removing the battery from the key and holding the key against the power switch.
If the hybrid control system cannot be started when performing this inspection, the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) or ID code box (immobiliser code ECU) may be malfunctioning.
| OK |

CHECK WAVE ENVIRONMENT
Install the battery to the electrical key transmitter Click here.
Bring the electrical key transmitter near the door control receiver and perform a push-button start system check.
Tech Tips
As the effect of electric wave interference decreases by moving the key close to the door control receiver, it may be possible to check whether electric wave interference is the cause of the problem.
| Result | Proceed to |
|---|---|
| System cannot be operated | A |
| System can be operated | B |
Tech Tips
If the problem only occurs in specific places or at specific times, electric wave interference may be the cause of the problem . Also, the vehicle may be have the effects of electric wave interference with the parts installed by the dealer. As a result, when parts have been installed by the dealer, it may be necessary to remove those parts before inspecting the vehicle.
There may be electric 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 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 key detection area) and RF band (used by the key for transmission) to check for locations where there is electric wave interference.

CHECK ELECTRICAL KEY ANTENNAS IN KEY DIAGNOSTIC MODE
Check the following antennas in the key diagnostic mode Click here.
| *a | Inspection Point |
Check the No. 1 indoor electrical key antenna assembly (front floor).
When the electrical key transmitter is at the inspection point, check that the wireless door lock buzzer sounds.
| *a | Inspection Point |
Check the No. 2 indoor electrical key antenna assembly (rear floor).
When the electrical key transmitter is at the inspection point, check that the wireless door lock buzzer sounds.
| *a | Inspection Point |
Check the No. 3 indoor electrical key antenna assembly (inside luggage).
When the electrical key transmitter is at the inspection point, check that the wireless door lock buzzer sounds.
Tech Tips
If the buzzer sounds, it can be determined that the vehicle interior transmitters are operating normally.
It is possible to check which indoor electrical key antenna assembly (front floor, rear floor or inside luggage) is operating by the sounding of the buzzer.
If the buzzer does not sound for any indoor electrical key antenna assemblies, the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) circuit may have a malfunction.
