PRE-INSPECTION FOR DIAGNOSTIC

PRE-INSPECTION FOR DIAGNOSTIC

Basic Inspection

INFOID:0000000007355663

The engine start function, door lock function, power distribution system and NATS-IVIS/NVIS in the Intelligent

Key system are closely related to each other regarding control. Narrow down the functional area in question

by performing basic inspection to identify which function is malfunctioning. The vehicle security function can

operate only when the door lock and power distribution system are operating normally. Therefore, it is easy to

identify any factor unique to the vehicle security system by performing the vehicle security operation check

after basic inspection.

1.

CHECK DOOR LOCK OPERATION

Check the door lock for normal operation with the Intelligent Key controller and door request switch.

Successful door lock operation with the Intelligent Key and request SW indicates that the remote keyless entry

receiver and inside key antenna required for engine start are functioning normally.

Identify the malfunctioning point by referring to the DLK section if the door cannot be unlocked.
Can the door be locked with the Intelligent Key and door request switch?

YES

>> GO TO 2

NO

>> Refer to 

DLK-171, "Symptom Table"

.

2.

CHECK ENGINE STARTING

Check that the engine starts when operating the Intelligent Key.
Does the engine start?

YES

>> GO TO 3

NO

>> Refer to 

SEC-108, "Symptom Table"

.

3.

CHECK STEERING LOCK

Does the steering lock when operating door switch after switching the power supply from ON position (or ACC

position) to LOCK position?

If door switch is malfunctioning, BCM cannot lock the steering. If BCM does not detect DTC, steering lock unit

is normal.
Does steering lock?

YES

>> GO TO 4

NO

>> Refer to 

DLK-96, "Diagnosis Procedure"

.

4.

CHECK IGNITION KNOB SWITCH OPERATION

Press ignition knob to check switch operation.
Does the combination meter display any message?

YES

>> GO TO 5

NO

>> Refer to 

SEC-50, "Ignition Knob Switch Check"

.

5.

CHECK VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM

Check the vehicle security system for normal operation.

The vehicle security function can operate only when the door lock and power distribution functions are operat-

ing normally. 

Therefore, it is easy to identify any factor unique to the vehicle security by performing the vehicle security

operation check after this basic inspection.

>> Refer to 

SEC-8, "Vehicle Security Operation Check"

.

Vehicle Security Operation Check

3.

CHECK ALARM FUNCTION

1. After 30 seconds, security indicator lamp will start to blink.

2. Open any door before unlocking with Intelligent Key or mechanical key, or open back door or glass hatch

without the presence of Intelligent Key.

Does the alarm function properly?

YES

>> GO TO 4

NO

>> Check the following.

• The vehicle security system does not phase in alarm mode. Refer to 

SEC-108, "Symptom

Table"

.

• Alarm (horn and headlamps) does not operate. Refer to 

SEC-108, "Symptom Table"

.

4.

CHECK ALARM CANCEL OPERATION

Unlock any door using Intelligent Key or mechanical key.
Does alarm (horn and headlamps) stop?

YES

>> Inspection End.

NO

>> Check door lock function. Refer to

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION 

• The engine start function of Intelligent Key system is a system that makes it possible to start and stop the

engine without using the key. It verifies the electronic ID using two-way communications when pressing the

ignition knob switch while carrying the Intelligent Key, which operates based on the results of electronic ID

verification for Intelligent Key using two-way communications between the Intelligent Key and the vehicle.

NOTE:

The driver should carry the Intelligent Key at all times.

[WITH INTELLIGENT KEY SYSTEM]

INTELLIGENT KEY SYSTEM/ENGINE START FUNCTION

• Intelligent Key has 2 IDs (for Intelligent Key and for NATS). It can perform the door lock/unlock operation and

the engine start operation when the registered Intelligent Key is carried.

• When the Intelligent Key battery is discharged, it can be used as emergency back-up by inserting the

mechanical key set in the Intelligent Key to the ignition key cylinder. At that time, perform the NATS ID verifi-

cation. If it is used when the Intelligent Key is carried, perform the Intelligent Key ID verification.

• If the ID is successfully verified, and when the ignition knob switch is pressed, steering lock will be released

and initiating the engine will be possible.

• The door lock/unlock operation can be performed when the Intelligent Key battery is discharged, by operat-

ing the driver door key cylinder using the mechanical key set in the Intelligent Key. 

• Up to 4 Intelligent Keys can be registered (including the standard Intelligent Key) on request from the owner.

NOTE:

• Refer to 

BCS-16, "COMMON ITEM : CONSULT Function (BCM - COMMON ITEM)"

 for any functions other

than engine start function of Intelligent Key system.

PRECAUTIONS FOR INTELLIGENT KEY SYSTEM

For vehicles equipped with the Intelligent Key system, the transponder [the chip for NATS ID verifi-

cation] is integrated into the Intelligent Key. Therefore, the Intelligent Key alone is capable of provid-

ing security clearance for the engine to start. Also, when the mechanical key alone is inserted into

the key cylinder, performs the NATS ID verification to allow the engine to start. For vehicles without

Intelligent Key system, the transponder is integrated into the mechanical key which must be inserted

into the key cylinder to perform the NATS ID verification to allow the engine to start.

OPERATION WHEN INTELLIGENT KEY IS CARRIED

1. When the ignition knob switch is ON, the Intelligent Key unit transmits the request signal to the Intelligent

Key.

2. The Intelligent Key receives the request signal and transmits the Intelligent Key ID signal to the Intelligent

Key unit.

3. The Intelligent Key unit receives the Intelligent Key ID signal and verifies it with the registered ID.
4. Intelligent Key unit transmits the steering lock/unlock signal to steering lock unit if the verification results

are OK. For detail of key warning lamp operation, refer to 

SEC-19, "System Description"

.

5. Release of the steering lock.
6. BCM transmits the starter request signal via CAN communication to IPDM E/R and turns the starter relay

in IPDM E/R ON if BCM judges that the engine start condition is satisfied.

7. IPDM E/R turns the starter control relay ON when receiving the starter request signal.
8. When shift position is in P or N position, battery power is supplied through the starter relay and operate

the starter motor and to start the cranking.

CAUTION:

If a malfunction is detected in the Intelligent Key system, the "NO KEY" warning message will be

displayed in the combination meter. At that time, the engine cannot be started.

OPERATION RANGE

Engine can be started when Intelligent Key is inside the vehicle. However, sometimes engine might not start

when Intelligent Key is on instrument panel or in glove box.

OPERATION WHEN MECHANICAL KEY IS USED

When the Intelligent Key battery is discharged, performs the NATS ID verification between the integrated tran-

sponder and BCM by inserting the mechanical key into the key cylinder, and then the engine can be started.

For details relating to starting the engine using mechanical key, refer to 

SEC-15, "System Description"

.

STEERING LOCK OPERATION

Steering is locked by steering lock unit when ignition switch is in the LOCK position (the ignition knob is

released) and key switch is OFF (key is removed from ignition key cylinder).
