INSPECTION PROCEDURE
NOTICE:
- If the transponder key ECU assembly is replaced, register the key and ECU communication ID Engine Immobiliser System (W/O Smart Key System).
- If the ECM is replaced, register the ECU communication ID Engine Immobiliser System (W/O Smart Key System).

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK DTC OUTPUT
(a) Recheck for DTCs Engine Immobiliser System (w/o Smart Key System).
HINT: If any DTCs other than DTC B279A are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.

Result:







A -- GO TO DTC CHART
B -- Continue to next step.
2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (TRANSPONDER KEY ECU - ECM)
(a) Disconnect the transponder key ECU assembly connector.
(b) Disconnect the ECM connector.




(c) Measure the resistance and voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:






Standard Voltage:






NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK -- Continue to next step.
3. CHECK ECM (INPUT)
(a) Reconnect the transponder key ECU assembly connector.
(b) Reconnect the ECM connector.
(c) Measure the waveform.
