DTC Code DTC Name
B279A Theft Deterrent System Communication Line High Fixation

DESCRIPTION

  • w/ ID code box (Immobiliser Code ECU)

    When the communication line (IMI - EFIO) between the ECM and ID code box (immobiliser code ECU) is stuck high, the ECM stores this DTC.

  • w/o ID code box (Immobiliser Code ECU)

    When the communication line (IMI - EFIO) between the ECM and certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) is stuck high, the ECM stores this DTC.

DTC No.

Theft Deterrent System Communication Line High Fixation

The communication line (IMI - EFIO) between the ECM and ID code box (immobiliser code ECU)*1 or certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly)*2 is stuck high (1 trip detection logic*3).

  • Harness or connector

  • ID code box (immobiliser code ECU)*1

  • Certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly)*2

  • ECM

DTC output confirmation operation:

  • Turn the engine switch on (IG) and wait 10 seconds.

  • *1: w/ ID code box (Immobiliser Code ECU)

  • *2: w/o ID code box (Immobiliser Code ECU)

  • *3: Only output while a malfunction is present.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note:

  • When replacing the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly)*1 or ID code box (immobiliser code ECU)*2, refer to the Service Bulletin.

  • After repair, confirm that no DTCs are output by performing "DTC Output Confirmation Operation."

  • *1: w/ ID code box (Immobiliser Code ECU)

  • *2: w/o ID code box (Immobiliser Code ECU)

Tip:

When DTC B279A and the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) DTC are output simultaneously, first perform troubleshooting for the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) DTC.
