DOOR CONTROL TRANSMITTER(w/o Entry and Start System) INSPECTION

PROCEDURE

  1. INSPECT DOOR CONTROL TRANSMITTER MODULE

    1. Inspect the operation of the transmitter.

      1. Remove the battery (lithium battery: CR2032) from the transmitter (Click here).

      2. B292898

        Install a new or normal battery (lithium battery: CR2032).

        Tip:

        When a new or normal battery is not available, first connect 2 new 1.5 V batteries in series. Then connect leads to the batteries and apply 3 V to the transmitter, as shown in the illustration.

      3. From outside the vehicle, approximately 1 m (3.28 ft) from the driver side outside door handle, test the transmitter by pointing its key plate at the vehicle and pressing a transmitter switch.

        OK

        The door lock can be operated via the transmitter.

        Tip:
        • The operational area differs depending on the user, the way the transmitter is held and the location.

        • The weak electric waves from the transmitter may be affected if the area has strong electric waves or noise. The transmitter operational area may be reduced or the transmitter may not function.

    2. Inspect the battery capacity.

      1. Remove the battery from the transmitter that does not operate (Click here).

      2. Attach a lead wire (0.6 mm (0.0236 in.) or less in diameter including wire sheath) with tape or equivalent to the negative terminal.

        Note:
        • Do not wrap the lead wire around a terminal, wedge it between the terminals or solder it. A terminal may be deformed or damaged, and the battery will not be able to be installed correctly.

        • When replacing the transmitter battery, before starting work, remove static electricity that has built up in the body by touching, for example, the vehicle to prevent the door control transmitter module set from being damaged.

      3. B292899

        Carefully extend the lead wire out from the position shown in the illustration and install the previously removed transmitter battery.

      4. B345046E01

        Check the transmitter battery voltage.

        Tip:

        When measuring the battery voltage, while operating the lock switch of a door handle, bring the electrical key transmitter within the entry operating range to perform the measurement. For the entry operating range, refer to Operation Check (Click here).

        Standard Voltage

        Tester Connection

        Condition

        Specified Condition

        Transmitter battery positive (+) - Transmitter battery negative (-)

        Ignition switch off, all doors closed and lock or unlock switch pushed

        2.5 to 3.2 V

        If the result is not as specified, replace the transmitter battery.
