THEFT DETERRENT / KEYLESS ENTRY: SMART KEY SYSTEM (for Entry Function): OPERATION CHECK

1. CHECK SMART KEY SYSTEM (for Entry Function) OPERATION

NOTICE:
Make sure that the smart key system (for Entry Function) has not been canceled before performing this inspection.

(a) Check the entry unlock function (driver door, front passenger door).

(1) Perform a wireless lock operation to lock the door, touch the unlock sensor built into the backside of the front door outside handle assembly of the driver door while carrying the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly and check that the door unlocks.

HINT
To perform a wireless lock operation, press the lock button of the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly while standing near the front door outside handle assembly.

(2) Inspect the entry unlock detection area. Hold the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly at the same height as the front door outside handle assembly and approximately 0.7 m (2.30 ft.) from the vehicle as shown in the illustration and check that the LED (red) of the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly blinks.

(3) With the system in unlock standby mode, grasp the front door outside handle assembly and check that the door unlocks.

HINT
* The system is in unlock standby mode when the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is in the detection area and the key ID code sent by the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly matches the key ID code stored by the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly).
* Communication may not be possible if the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is within 0.2 m (0.656 ft.) of the front door outside handle assembly.
* Inspect the front passenger door using the same procedure.

(4) Check the unlock response sensitivity. With the system in unlock standby mode, touch the area shown in the illustration and check that the door unlocks.

NOTICE:
If the sensor is touched too quickly or released too slowly, the sensor may not react and the door will not unlock.

(b) Check the entry lock function (driver door, front passenger door).

NOTICE:
If the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is in the vehicle but outside the detection area (on the instrument panel, in the glove box, on the floor) and a door lock operation is performed, the key lock-in prevention function will not operate and the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly will be locked inside the vehicle.

(1) With the door closed and unlocked, touch the lock sensor of the front door outside handle assembly of the driver door while carrying the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly and check that the door locks.

HINT

(2) Inspect the entry luggage compartment door unlock operating range. While standing at the rear of the vehicle, hold the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly so that it is facing the direction shown in the above illustration at the same height as the luggage door opening switch assembly and approximately 0.7 m (2.30 ft.) from the vehicle, press the unlock switch of the luggage door opening switch assembly and check that the luggage compartment door open.

(d) Check the key lock-in prevention function (in luggage compartment).

(1) Place the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly in the luggage compartment with all doors locked. Check that: 1) closing the luggage compartment door triggers the key wireless buzzer (which lasts approximately 2 seconds), and 2) pressing the luggage door opening switch assembly opens the luggage compartment door.

(2) Inspect the key lock-in prevention detection area. Pay attention to the direction of the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly shown in the illustration. When the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is in either of the 2 locations in the illustration, check that: 1) closing the luggage compartment door sounds the wireless buzzer, and 2) pressing the luggage door opening switch assembly opens the luggage compartment door.

NOTICE:
* In order to prevent the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly from being locked inside the vehicle, perform this inspection with the window of a door open.
If the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is in any of the following locations, the key lock-in prevention function may not operate:
* Near the spare tire or at the edge of the luggage compartment.
* In a metal bag or near a metal object.

(3) Inspect the key lock-in prevention detection area and the door control receiver for wave leaks. Hold the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly at the same height as the lower edge of the luggage compartment door aligning it with the center of the rear of the vehicle. Pay attention to the direction and position of the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly shown in the illustration.

HINT
* When the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is over 0.1 m (0.328 ft.) from the rear bumper, the wireless buzzer does not sound.
* If the warning buzzer sounds, the No. 3 indoor electrical key antenna (inside luggage compartment) may have a wave leak.

(e) Check the push start function.

(1) With the power switch off, move the shift lever to P, depress the brake pedal while carrying the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly. Then, press the power switch and check that the hybrid system starts.

(2) With the brake pedal released and the power switch off, press the power switch while carrying the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly and check that the power source mode changes as follows: off -> on (ACC) -> on (IG) -> off.

(3) Stop the vehicle, press the power switch and check that the power source mode changes to off (the hybrid system stops and all electrical systems are off).

(4) Inspect the push start operating range (front). Place the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly on the front seat at either inspection point so that it is facing in the direction shown in the illustration and check that the hybrid system can be started.

NOTICE:
* Even if the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is within the vehicle interior detection area, the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly may not be properly detected if it is on the instrument panel, in the glove box or on the floor.
* Communication may not be possible if the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is within 0.2 m (0.656 ft.) of the shift lever.

HINT
Perform the inspection for both inspection points.

(5) Inspect the push start operating range (rear). Place the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly on the rear seat at either inspection point so that it is facing in the direction shown in the illustration and check that the hybrid system can be started.
