illuminates for 15 seconds. The dome light gradually
fades out in 15 seconds after the door unlock relay is
operated.

NOTE: 

*: If doors are locked with the transmitter

when the dome light is ON while doors are opened,
the dome light is switched off in 1.2 seconds. In
addition, if doors are locked with the transmitter
when the dome light is OFF, the dome light does
not work.

KEYLESS ENTRY HORN ANSWERBACK
FUNCTION
When  WCM  receives  the  LOCK  signal  from  the
keyless  entry  transmitter  and  send  LOCK  can
command to ETACS-ECU, all doors are locked and
the horn sounds. If the driver's door cannot be locked
even when the keyless entry transmitter is operated,
the horn does not sound.

KEYLESS ENTRY TIMER LOCK TIME
When none of the doors is opened within 30 seconds
after  the  doors  are  unlocked  by  the  keyless  entry
system, ETACS-ECU automatically outputs the door
lock signal to lock the doors. This function prevents
the doors (including the liftgate) from being unlocked
unexpectedly  by  operation  errors.  Using  a
customization  function,  the  timer  lock  time  can  be
changed (Refer to P.42C-13).

OPERATION INHIBITION CONDITIONS
The operation of the system is inhibited when:

｠

The ignition key is in the ignition switch.

｠

Any door or the liftgate is open (door switch is ON).
(including door ajar)

SECURITY ALARM

The security alarm function is based on the door lock
operation by the keyless entry system. The function
warns  when  the  doors  (including  the  liftgate)  are
opened by any operation other than the keyless entry
system. Using a customization function, the security
alarm

 can

 be

 enabled/disabled

 (Refer

to P.42C-13).  This  customization  function  is
described in the owner’s manual.

Hood latch switch

The hood latch switch is installed to the hood latch.
When  the  hood  latch  is  operated,  the  hood  latch
switch  detects  this  and  sends  a  signal  to  ETACS-
ECU.

IMMOBILIZER FUNCTION

M24200200005USA0000010000

The  immobilizer  function  prevents  the  engine  from
starting and immobilizes the vehicle if a key other than

the key registered for that vehicle is used in an attempt
to start the engine after forced entry.

OPERATION

1.

With the ignition key turned ON, the transponder
(a small transmitter) integrated in the ignition key
transmits its own ID code (transponder ID) to WCM
via radio wave.

2.

According  to  the  sent  transponder  ID,  WCM
controls  the  engine  ECU  only  when  the  sent  ID
code agrees with the pre-registered one.

3.

The  system  is  designed  to  be  maintenance-free
because the power source for the transponder is
supplied by WCM. Two ignition keys are provided,
and up to eight ignition keys can be registered to
one vehicle as needed. More than one trillion of ID
code combinations can be registered, and parts of

them are irregularly changed whenever the ignition
key  is  turned  ON.  This  feature  prevents  code
copying, resulting in higher security of the system.

NOTE: 

In case of replacement of WCM, or loss or

addition of the ignition key, all key ID codes
should be re-registered as follows using scan
tool.

｠

In case WCM was lost, all the ignition keys should
be registered again.

｠

In case of loss of the ignition key, all keys except
the  lost  one  should  be  registered  again  for
eliminating the registration of the lost key.

｠

For  addition  of  a  key,  all  the  keys  to  be  used
afterwards  including  the  added  key  should  be
registered again.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) FUNCTION

M24200200007USA0000010000

When the tire pressure becomes under the specified
value, the TPMS function warns the driver of that state
by illuminating the TPMS warning light.

OPERATION

｠

The signals from the TPMS receiver are received
by the WCM.

｠

WCM  processes  input  signals  from  each  TPMS
transmitter as well as vehicle speed signals from the
ABS-ECU  or  ASC-ECU.  The  WCM  also  receives
the  atmospheric  pressure  signal  from  the  ECM.
When  the  atmospheric  pressure  is  low  in  areas
such as high altitude, it calibrates the received tire
pressure value. When the road tire pressure is low,
it  sends  a  warning  signal  causing  the  TPMS
warning light to be illuminated. When the TPMS has

problems,  it  sends  a  warning  signal  causing  the
TPMS warning light to be flashed*.

NOTE: 

 *: Change to continuous illumination

after flashing for about 1 minute.

｠

For 3 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to
the  "ON"  position,  WCM  illuminates  the  TPMS
warning  light  to  check  any  breaks  in  the  TPMS
warning light circuit.

WIRELESS CONTROL MODULE (WCM)

SYSTEM OPERATION

｠

By  connecting  the  scan  tool  to  the  data  link
connector,  data  stored  in  WCM  (data  of  tire
pressure and TPMS transmitter ID, the alarm status

and  warning  history,  etc.)  can  be  displayed  and
TPMS transmitter ID can be registered.

NOTE: 

If the TPMS transmitter is replaced,

register the ID codes of all the TPMS transmitters
again using the M.U.T.-III.

TPMS TRANSMITTER (TIRE PRESSURE

SENSOR)

The  TPMS  transmitter  combines  the  valve  and  tire
pressure  sensor  in  a  single  unit.  The  TPMS
transmitters are mounted inside the tires. The TPMS
transmitter measures tire pressure directly with its tire
pressure sensor and sends radio frequency signals to
WCM.  The  TPMS  transmitter  includes  acceleration
sensor that senses tire rotation. The WCM turns the
warning light ON/OFF according to the signal from the

acceleration sensor that tells whether the vehicle is
running or stopped.

NOTE: 

Use only genuine wheels. The use of non-

genuine wheels may cause the improper installation
of the TPMS transmitters, possibly resulting in
air leakage and damage to the TPMS transmitter.
