NOTICE:

When replacing the transmitter battery, before starting work, remove static electricity that has built up in the body by touching, for example, the vehicle to prevent the door control transmitter assembly from being damaged.

HINT:

When a new or non-depleted transmitter battery is not available, first connect 2 new 1.5 V batteries in series. Then connect leads to the batteries and apply 3 V to the door control transmitter assembly, as shown in the illustration.

(3) From outside the vehicle, approximately 1 m (3.28 ft) from the driver door outside door handle, test the door control transmitter assembly by pointing its key plate at the vehicle and pressing a door control transmitter assembly switch.

OK:

The door lock can be operated via the door control transmitter assembly.

  • The operational area differs depending on the user, the way the door control transmitter assembly is held and the location.
  • The weak radio waves of the door control transmitter assembly may be affected if the area has strong radio waves or electrical noise. The door control transmitter assembly operation area may be shortened or the door control transmitter assembly may not function.

(b) Inspect the transmitter battery capacity.

(1) Remove the transmitter battery from the door control transmitter assembly that does not operate. Attach a lead wire (0.6 mm (0.0236 in.) in diameter or less including wire sheath) with tape or equivalent to the negative terminal.
