INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
* Before replacing the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly), refer to Registration Engine Immobilizer System.
* After performing repairs, perform the operation that fulfills the DTC output confirmation operation, and then confirm that no DTCs are output again.

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (CERTIFICATION ECU (SMART KEY ECU ASSEMBLY) - POWER SWITCH)

(a) Disconnect the I86 and I87 certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) connectors.

(b) Disconnect the I58 power switch connector.

(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:





NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK -- Continue to next step.

2. CHECK CERTIFICATION ECU (SMART KEY ECU ASSEMBLY)

(a) Reconnect the I86 and I87 certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) connectors.

(b) Reconnect the I58 power switch connector.

(c) Using an oscilloscope, check the waveform.





HINT
Perform this inspection on the power switch side.

Measurement Condition





OK:

Waveform is output normally (refer to illustration).
