DOOR LOCK: WIRELESS DOOR LOCK CONTROL SYSTEM (w/ Smart Key System): OPERATION CHECK

OPERATION CHECK

1. NOTES WHEN CHECKING
(a) Wireless door LOCK/UNLOCK function:
This function operates only when the following 4 conditions are met.
- No key is inserted into the key slot.
- All the doors are closed.
- The power door lock control system is functioning normally.
- Key is not within the key detection area.
HINT: The UNLOCK function operates even when one of the doors is open.

(b) Panic function:
This wireless control function operates only when the following condition is met.
- The power switch must be OFF.
HINT: The key can be inserted. However the power switch must be OFF.

(c) The wireless transmitter operating range differs depending on the situation.
- The operating range differs depending on the user, the way the transmitter is held and the location.
- In certain areas, the operating range will be reduced due to the vehicle body shape and the influence of the surrounding environment.
- Since the transmitter uses faint electric waves, the operating range might be shortened if noise or strong electric waves occur in the area where the transmitter is used. Or, the transmitter may not function.
- When the battery weakens, the operating range is reduced or the transmitter may not function.
HINT: If the transmitter has been left in a place that is exposed to direct sunlight, such as on the instrument panel, the battery may weaken or other problem may occur.

2. WIRELESS DOOR LOCK CONTROL FUNCTIONS
HINT:
- The switches described below transmit signals and are built into the door control transmitter.
- The operating range must be taken into account while checks are being made.

(a) Make sure the vehicle is in a condition where the wireless door lock control function can be operated (see above).
(b) Check basic functions:
- Check that the transmitter's LED illuminates 3 times when each switch is pressed 3 times.
HINT: If the LED does not illuminate when the switch has been pressed 3 times or more, the battery may be depleted.
- Check that all doors (including the back door) lock when the LOCK switch is pressed.
- Check that only the driver side door unlocks when the UNLOCK switch is pressed once, and that the remaining doors unlock when the UNLOCK switch is pressed again within 3 seconds.

(c) Check the chattering prevention function:
- Check that pressing a switch will result in the switch's operation occurring only once; and when the switch is held down, the operation is not repeated continuously. Also, make sure that when the switch is pressed at intervals of approximately 1 second, the switch's operation activates once for every press of the switch.

(d) Check the automatic locking function:
- Check that if all of the doors are unlocked with the UNLOCK switch and none of the doors are opened or locked within approximately 30 seconds, the door automatically relocks.
- Check that if all of the doors are unlocked with the UNLOCK switch and a door is opened or locked within approximately 30 seconds, the automatic locking function does not operate.

(e) Check the switch operation fail-safe function:
- Check that the doors cannot be locked by a transmitter switch while the key is in the key slot. However, this does not apply when the system is in recognition code registration mode.

(f) Check the operation stop function when a door is open or not completely closed:
- Check that if a door is open or not completely closed, the doors cannot be locked by the LOCK switch.

(g) Check the repeat function:
- Check that if the LOCK switch is pressed while the movement of the driver side door control knob (in the unlocked state) is restricted, the repeat function attempts to lock all of the doors again 2 seconds later.

(h) Check the answer-back function:
- When the LOCK switch is pressed, confirm the simultaneous occurrence of all the hazard warning lights flashing once, the buzzer sounding once and all the doors locking.
- When the UNLOCK switch is pressed, confirm the simultaneous occurrence of all the hazard warning lights flashing twice, the buzzer sounding twice and the driver side door unlocking.
- When UNLOCK switch is pressed again within 3 seconds, conform the simultaneous occurrence of all the hazard warning lights flashing twice, the buzzer sounding twice and all the doors unlocking.

(i) Check the illuminated entry function:
- When all the doors are locked, pressing the UNLOCK switch causes the room light (when the light switch is in the DOOR position) to illuminate simultaneously with the unlock operation.
- Check that the room light turns off in approximately 15 seconds if doors have not been opened.

(j) Check the panic function:
(1) Check that if PANIC switch is held down for 0.8 seconds or more, the theft deterrent alarm function sounds the horn and flashes the headlights and taillights for 60 seconds. And, with the theft alarm function active, check if pressing any switch on the transmitter causes the horn to stop sounding and the headlights and taillights to stop flashing.
