SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

1. KEY REMINDER WARNING SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

2. FUNCTION OF COMPONENT






3. FUNCTION OF DESCRIPTION
(a) The key slot transmits a halfway switch status signal to the transponder key ECU. The front door courtesy light switch LH transmits a driver side door courtesy switch status signal to the multiplex network body ECU. With the power switch OFF or ON (ACC), 2 conditions are required to activate the key reminder warning system: 1) the transponder key ECU receives a signal indicating that the key is in the key slot, and 2) the transponder key ECU receives a driver side door open signal via the multiplex network body ECU. If both conditions are satisfied, a buzzer request signal is transmitted from the transponder key ECU to the combination meter assembly via the BEAN. The combination meter assembly then actuates the driver circuit to sound a built-in multi-buzzer intermittently.
