Reminder Does Not Activate When Pressing Lock/Unlock on Remote
HAZARD AND HORN REMINDER DOES NOT ACTIVATE PROPERLY WHEN PRESSING LOCK OR UNLOCK BUTTON OF REMOTE CONTROLLER, ALL OTHER FUNCTIONS ARE OKSystem Description
Remote controller signal is inputted to smart entrance control unit. (The antenna of the system is combined with smart entrance control unit.)
The multi-remote control system controls operation of the power door lock, interior lamp, panic alarm, trunk lid opener and hazard and horn reminder.
When smart entrance control unit receives LOCK or UNLOCK signal from remote controller with all doors closed, hazard warning lamp flashes and horn sounds as a reminder. (Horn can be activated or deactivated.) If one or more doors are open, the hazard and horn reminder will not operate.
The hazard and horn reminder has C mode (horn can be activated) and S mode (horn cannot be activated). Hazard and horn reminder mode can be changed using CONSULT-II WORK SUPPORT mode.
Possible Cause
- Circuit open or short
- Multi-remote control relay
- Door switch
- Remote controller
