FUNCTION
Start Function
The start function has different power source modes to suit the brake pedal condition and shift lever position.
When a driver carrying an electrical key transmitter sub-assembly enters the vehicle while the power source mode is off and presses the power switch without depressing the brake pedal, the power source mode turns on (ACC) to show "POWER ON" on the multi-information display. With each pressing of the power switch, the power source mode switches as follows: off → on (ACC) → on (IG) → off.
When a driver who is carrying an electrical key transmitter sub-assembly enters the vehicle while the power source mode is off, and depresses the brake pedal while the shift lever is in P, the entry warning light will illuminate. Pressing the power switch with the entry warning light illuminated will cause the hybrid system to start.
When starting the hybrid system with the vehicle stopped, pressing the power switch while the shift lever is in P will cause the power source mode to turn off. Pressing the power switch when the shift lever is in any position other than P will cause the mode to turn on (ACC).
Transition of the power source mode when the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly battery is low or the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is not operating normally due to an electromagnetic interference:
The driver uses the mechanical key to unlock the door, and enters the vehicle while carrying the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly.
The driver places the LEXUS mark of the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly in contact with the front of the power switch while depressing the brake pedal.
The multi buzzer sounds and the power source mode turns from off to on (IG).*1
With pressing of the power switch, the power source mode switches as follows: on (IG) → off.*2
Tech Tips
*1: The power source mode turns from off to on (ACC) while the key cancel function is operating.
*2: The power source mode turns from on (ACC) to off while the key cancel function is operating.
Starting the hybrid system when the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly battery is low or the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is not operating normally due to an electromagnetic interference:
The driver uses the mechanical key to unlock the door, and enters the vehicle while carrying the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly.
The driver places the LEXUS mark of the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly in contact with the front of the power switch while depressing the brake pedal while the shift lever is in P.
After the multi buzzer sounds and the entry warning light illuminates, the driver presses the power switch while depressing the brake pedal.
Pressing the power switch starts the hybrid system.
Tech Tips
Normally, the operation of the power switch is disabled while the vehicle is being driven. However, if the hybrid system must be stopped in an emergency while the vehicle is in motion, the driver can press the power switch either 3 times in rapid succession or for approximately 2 seconds or more to stop the hybrid system.
If no signals are transmitted to the certification ECU due to a malfunction in the stop light switch assembly or shift lever position sensor, the hybrid system will not start even if the driver presses the power switch while depressing the brake pedal. In this case, the driver can start the hybrid system by carrying out the following operations. Press the power switch to turn the power source mode from off to on (ACC), and press the power switch again and hold it for 15 seconds or more.
The above 2 operations must be carried out only in emergency situations. Under normal conditions, the hybrid system must not be stopped by pressing the power switch during driving or started without depressing the brake pedal when the shift lever is in any position other than P.

Battery Saving Function (Models with Entry Function)
Battery saving preserves the vehicle and key batteries. It is activated when the vehicle remains parked for a long time and when the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is left in the exterior actuation area.
| Condition | Condition | Outline |
|---|---|---|
| When the vehicle remains parked for a long time. | Condition 1:
|
When the power switch is turned on (IG), the control is canceled and the system is returned to normal. |
| Condition 2:
|
|
|
| When the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is left in the exterior actuation area. |
|
|
In addition to the above functions, the auto power off function helps to reduce drain on the vehicle auxiliary battery by turning the power source mode to off (a) when approximately 20 minutes have elapsed since the shift lever was moved to P with the power source mode on (ACC) or (b) when approximately 60 minutes have elapsed since the engine was turned off with the shift lever in P, the power source mode on (IG) and the vehicle stationary.
Battery Saving Function of Electrical Key Transmitter Sub-assembly
This function cancels the signal reception waiting state of the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly, reducing the consumption of current from its battery.
The electrical key transmitter sub-assembly can be placed into and taken out of battery saving mode. When the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is in battery saving mode, the entry and start system will not be able to detect the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly, as the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly will not respond to signals from the vehicle. The entry and start system will not operate if the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is in battery saving mode.
Pressing the unlock switch of the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly twice while pressing the lock switch (the indicator light of the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly blinks 4 times) selects battery saving mode for the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly.
Battery saving mode can be canceled by pressing any switch on the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly.

Key Code Registration Function
The table below shows the 4 special ID code registration function modes through which up to 7 different codes can be registered. The codes are electronically registered (written and stored) in the EEPROM. For details, refer to the Service Bulletin.
| Mode | Function |
|---|---|
| Rewrite | Clears all previously registered codes and registers only the newly received codes. This mode is used whenever an electrical key transmitter sub-assembly or the certification ECU is replaced. |
| Add | Adds a newly received code while preserving previously registered codes. This mode is used when adding a new electrical key transmitter sub-assembly. |
| Confirm | Confirms how many codes are currently registered. When adding a new code, this mode is used to check how many codes already exist. |
| Prohibit | Clears all registered codes and prohibits the wireless door lock function. This mode is used when a key is lost. |
CONSTRUCTION
Electrical Key Transmitter Sub-assembly (Electronic Key)
The electrical key transmitter sub-assembly (electronic key) consists of a mechanical key, a transmitter for the wireless door lock control and a transceiver for the entry and start system.
The transceiver for the entry and start system receives the signals from the electrical key antennas and returns the ID code to the door control receiver.
The electrical key transmitter sub-assembly for the wireless door lock control has a lock button, unlock button, luggage compartment door opener button and panic button*.
*: Models with panic alarm function
When the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly (electronic key) battery is low, the radio wave response received from the power switch is returned to the power switch by the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly (electronic key).
This mechanical key works for the driver door, but cannot be used to start the hybrid system.

Electrical Key Transmitter Sub-assembly (Card Key)
The electrical key transmitter sub-assembly (card key) consists of a mechanical key and a transceiver for the entry and start system.
The transceiver for the entry and start system receives the signals from the electrical key antennas and returns the ID code to the door control receiver.
When the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly (card key) battery is low, the radio wave response received from the power switch is returned to the power switch by the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly (card key).
This mechanical key works for the driver door, but cannot be used to start the hybrid system.

Tech Tips
*: The shift lever is in P, the key certification result is OK and the brake pedal is depressed (the stop light switch assembly is on).
Power Management Control ECU
The power management control ECU consists of the IG1 and IG2 relay actuation circuits, CPU and hold circuit.
The hold circuit is installed to prevent the power supply to the relays from being cut off when an abnormality occurs in the IG1 and/or IG2 relay actuation circuits while driving.
Tech Tips
The power management control ECU constantly stores the present power source mode in its memory. Therefore, if the power to the power management control ECU is interrupted due to the removal of the battery, the power management control ECU restores the power source after the battery is reconnected. For this reason, if the battery is removed when the power source is in a mode other than off, the power will be restored to the vehicle at the same time the power is restored to the power management control ECU by reconnecting the battery.
Therefore, before removing the battery, be sure to turn the power source off.
Door Control Receiver (Multi-channel)
The electrical key transmitter sub-assembly and door control receiver can operate on 2 different RF channels. When an electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is brought within an exterior detection area, electrical key transmitter sub-assembly verification begins. If electrical key transmitter sub-assembly verification fails due to radio wave interference, the channel will be switched and electrical key transmitter sub-assembly verification will be performed again. The multi-channel system begins verification using the channel on which the last verification was successfully performed. When verification fails, the system switches to the other channel.
| *a | Exterior detection areas are created using LF waves (emitted from the vehicle at intervals of 0.25 seconds) to receive a response from the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly. |
| *b | When the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is brought into an exterior detection area, it receives LF waves from the vehicle. Using RF waves, the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly responds to the vehicle. |
| *c | Upon receiving the response from the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly, the certification ECU activates the electrical key antennas (outside) one by one. Using LF waves, the certification ECU determines which exterior detection area the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is in. |
| *d | The electrical key transmitter sub-assembly receives the LF waves from the vehicle and responds using RF waves. (The certification ECU recognizes which exterior detection area the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is in.) |
| *e | The certification ECU sends registered key ID information to the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly using LF waves. (Up to 7 key IDs can be registered.) |
| *f | The electrical key transmitter sub-assembly sends the key ID information using RF waves. When the certification ECU receives it, verification completes. |
| *g | Radio wave interference (Channel switching) |
The multi-channel system changes channels when communication on the RF band (*b, *d and *f) is interrupted by radio wave interference. Refer to the table below to confirm when the system changes channels:
| - | *b or *d is Not Possible | *f is Not Possible | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Condition | RF waves cannot be received. | RF waves cannot be received properly. | RF waves cannot be received. | RF waves cannot be received properly. |
| Channel switching | Channels will not be switched. | Channels will be switched. | Channels will be switched. | Channels will be switched. |
DIAGNOSIS
The certification ECU can detect malfunctions in the entry and start system when the power source mode is on (IG).
When the ECU detects a malfunction, the entry warning light blinks in yellow to warn the driver. At the same time, the ECU stores a 5-digit Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in its memory.
The indicator light warning continues for 15 seconds even after the power switch is turned off.
5-digit DTCs can be read after connecting the Global TechStream (GTS) to the DLC3.
The entry and start system may not operate successfully if a malfunction occurs.
