DOOR CONTROL TRANSMITTER INSPECTION

PROCEDURE

1. INSPECT TRANSMITTER BATTERY

   Note:

   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 electrical transmitter from being damaged.

   1. Inspect operation of the transmitter.

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

   2. 

      Install a new or normal battery (lithium battery).

      Note:

      If 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.) away 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.

      The LED comes on more than once.

      Tip:

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

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

   4. 

      Inspect the battery capacity.

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

         Note:

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

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

      3. 

         *a

         GND

         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 hereClick here).

         Standard Voltage

         Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
         Transmitter battery positive (+) - Transmitter battery negative (-)	Engine switch off, all doors closed and lock sensor touched	2.5 to 3.2 V

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

2. INSPECT TRANSMITTER BATTERY (w/ Battery Cover)

   Note:

   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 electrical transmitter from being damaged.
