B27A8





THEFT DETERRENT / KEYLESS ENTRY: SMART KEY SYSTEM (for Entry Function): B27A8: Open in Outside Luggage Compartment Electrical Key Antenna Circuit
B27A8 - Open in Outside Luggage Compartment Electrical Key Antenna Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) generates a request signal and transmits the signal to the electrical key antenna (outside luggage). For the electrical key antenna (outside luggage) to detect when the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is brought close to the vehicle, the received request signal is transmitted within approximately 1.0 m (3.28 ft.) of the luggage compartment door. DTC B27A8 is stored by the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) when an open circuit is detected between the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) and electrical key antenna (outside luggage) (between terminals CLG8 and ANTE8, or terminals CG8B and CLGB).





* *: Only output while a malfunction is present.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
* The smart key system (for Entry Function) uses a multiplex communication system (LIN communication system) and the CAN communication system. Inspect the communication function by following How to Proceed with Troubleshooting How To Proceed With Troubleshooting. Troubleshoot the smart key system (for Entry Function) after confirming that the communication systems are functioning properly.
* When using the Techstream with the power switch off to troubleshoot:
Connect the Techstream to the DLC3 and turn a courtesy light switch on and off at 1.5-second intervals until communication between the Techstream and vehicle begins.
* Before replacing the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly), refer to the smart key system (for Entry Function) precaution Smart Key System (for Entry Function).
* After repair, confirm that no DTCs are output by performing the "DTC Output Confirmation Operation".
* The electrical key antenna (outside luggage) has an antenna coil between ANTE8 and CLGB terminals.

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK CONNECTOR CONNECTION

(a) Turn the power switch off.

(b) Check that the connectors are properly connected to the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) and electrical key antenna (outside luggage).

OK:

Connectors are properly connected.

NG -- CONNECT CONNECTORS PROPERLY
OK -- Continue to next step.

2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ELECTRICAL KEY ANTENNA - CERTIFICATION ECU)

(a) Disconnect the O2 certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) connector.

(b) Disconnect the T14*1, T11*2 electrical key antenna (outside luggage) connector.

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

Standard Resistance:





*1: w/ Blind Spot Monitor System

*2: w/o Blind Spot Monitor System

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

3. INSPECT ELECTRICAL KEY ANTENNA (OUTSIDE LUGGAGE)

(a) Remove the electrical key antenna (outside luggage) Removal.





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

Standard Resistance:
