PUSH-BUTTON START OPERATION CHECK


  1. OPERATION DESCRIPTION


    1. Push-button start function:


      1. When the key is in a detection area inside the vehicle and the brake pedal is depressed, the engine is started by pressing the engine switch.

      2. When the key is in a detection area inside the vehicle and the brake pedal is not depressed, the power source mode is changed by pressing the engine switch. The power source mode changes in the following order every time the engine switch is pressed: off → on (ACC) → on (IG) → off.

      3. After getting into the vehicle while carrying the key when the engine switch is off, if the engine switch is pressed while not depressing the brake pedal, the power source mode changes to on (ACC).

      4. After getting into the vehicle while carrying the key when the engine switch is off, if the engine switch is pressed 2 times without depressing the brake pedal, the power source mode changes to on (IG).

        *a Entry Warning Light displayed

        After getting into the vehicle while carrying the key when the engine switch is off, if the brake pedal is depressed while the shift lever is in P or N, the entry warning light is displayed.

      6. The engine starts if the engine switch is pressed when the entry warning light is displayed.

    2. Changing the power source mode when the key does not operate correctly due to wave interference or key battery depletion:


      1. Unlock the door using the built-in mechanical key and get into the vehicle while carrying the key.

      2. While depressing the brake pedal, and facing the logo side of the key towards the engine switch, hold the key near the engine switch.

      3. A buzzer in the combination meter assembly sounds and the power source mode changes to on (IG). Pressing the engine switch without depressing the brake pedal turns the power source mode from on (IG) to off.

    3. Starting the engine when the key does not operate correctly due to wave interference or key battery depletion:


      1. Unlock the door using the built-in mechanical key and get into the vehicle while carrying the key.

      2. While depressing the brake pedal with the shift lever in P or N*, while facing the logo side of the key towards the engine switch, hold the key near the engine switch.

        Tech Tips

        *: This is only applicable when the steering wheel unlocked.

      3. A buzzer in the combination meter assembly sounds, the power source mode changes to on (IG) and the entry warning light is displayed.

      4. Press the engine switch with the brake pedal depressed to start the engine.

  2. CHECK PUSH-BUTTON START FUNCTION


    1. Check the push-button start function:


      1. Get into the vehicle while carrying the key with the engine switch off. With the shift lever in P, check the entry warning light is displayed when the brake pedal is depressed. Then check that the engine starts when the engine switch is pressed after the entry warning light is displayed.

      2. While the brake pedal is released and the key is being carried, check that the power source mode changes in the following order when the engine switch is pressed: off → on (ACC) → on (IG) → off.

        Tech Tips

        When the engine switch is pressed with the engine switch on (IG) and the shift lever not in P, the power source mode does not change to off, but changes to on (ACC).

      3. With the shift lever in P, check that the steering lock operates when a door is opened.

        Tech Tips

        When the engine switch is pressed after the vehicle is stopped, the engine stops and all the power turns off. However, if the shift lever is not in P when the engine switch is pressed with the vehicle stopped, the power source mode does not change to off, but changes to on (ACC).

        *a Inspection Point

        Check the push-button start function operation range for the front side. Place the key in either of the two locations making sure that the key is oriented as shown in the illustration, and then check that the engine can be started.

        Note


        • Even if the key is in a vehicle interior key detection area, the key may not be properly detected if the key is on the instrument panel, in the glove box or on the floor.

        • If the key is within 0.2 m (0.66 ft.) of the shift lever, communication may not be possible.

        Tech Tips

        Perform this inspection for both inspection points.

        Check the push-button start function operation range for the rear side. Place the key in either of the two locations making sure that the key is oriented as shown in the illustration, and then check that the engine can be started.

        Note


        • Even if the key is in a vehicle interior key detection area, the key may not be properly detected if the key is on the instrument panel, in the glove box or on the floor.

        • If the key is within 0.2 m (0.66 ft.) of the center of the rear seat, communication may not be possible.

        Tech Tips

        Perform this inspection for both inspection points.

    2. Check the key lock-in prevention function (inside luggage compartment).


      1. Place the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly in the luggage compartment with all doors locked. Check that: 1) closing the luggage compartment door triggers the key wireless buzzer (which lasts approximately 2 seconds), and 2) pressing the luggage electrical key switch opens the luggage compartment door.

        *a 0.1 m or more (0.328 ft. or more)

        Inspect the key lock-in prevention detection area and the door control receiver for wave leaks. Hold the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly at the same height as the lower edge of the luggage compartment door aligning it with the center of the rear of the vehicle. Pay attention to the direction and position of the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly shown in the illustration.

        Tech Tips


        • When the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is over 0.1 m (0.328 ft.) from the rear bumper, the wireless buzzer does not sound.

        • If the warning buzzer sounds, the No. 3 indoor electrical key antenna (inside luggage compartment) may have a wave leak.

    3. Check the key lock-in prevention function (vehicle interior).

      Note

      In order to prevent the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly from being locked inside the vehicle, perform this inspection with the window of a door open.


      1. Turn the engine switch off.

      2. Place the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly on a front or rear seat.

      3. Close the door, making sure the doors are unlocked.

    4. Check the push-button start cancel function.


      1. Cancel the push-button start and check that all the functions of the push-button start no longer operate.

        Tech Tips


        • Refer to the following procedures to cancel the push-button start Click here.

        • While the push-button start is canceled, it is possible to lock and unlock the doors with the wireless operation, and the start system can be operated by holding the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly near the engine switch.

      2. While the key cancel function (entry cancel function) is on, check that all functions of the push-button start cannot be operated.

    5. Check the answer-back function (hazard warning light flashing).

      Entry Operation Hazard Warning Light
      Entry Door Lock Flashes once
      Entry Door Unlock Flashes twice
  3. KEY DIAGNOSTIC MODE (Using GTS)

    Tech Tips


    • With key diagnostic mode, it is possible to check if the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is operating properly with the selected electrical key antenna and within the selected detection area by the sounding of the wireless buzzer.

    • 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.


    1. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Entry & Start / Utility / Communication Check (Key Diag Mode).

    2. Inspect the appropriate item according to the following table.

        All of the following conditions are met:


        • The power source mode was turned from on (IG) to on (ACC).

        • Key verification is OK*2 or immobiliser is unset (engine switch is on (ACC) or on (IG)).

        • The shift lever is in N and the steering is unlocked.

        • The stop light switch is on.

      • Condition 2

        All of the following conditions are met:


        • The power source mode was not turned from on (IG) to on (ACC).
