CHECK PUSH-BUTTON START FUNCTION

(a) Get into the vehicle while carrying the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly with the power switch off. With the shift state park (P), check that the key indicator display is displayed when the brake pedal is depressed. Check that the hybrid control system starts when the power switch is pressed after the key indicator display is displayed in the combination meter assembly.

(b) While carrying the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly, check that the power source mode changes in the following order when the power switch is pressed with the brake pedal released: off → on (ACC) → on (IG) → off.

(c) With the shift state park (P), check that the steering lock operates when a door is opened.

(d) Check the push-button start function operation range for the front side. Place the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly at either inspection point so that it is facing the direction shown in the illustration, and then check that the hybrid control system can be started.

HINT:

While the smart key system is canceled, it is possible to lock and unlock the doors with the wireless function, and the hybrid control system can be started by holding the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly near the power switch.

CHECK KEY DIAGNOSTIC MODE

HINT:

  • With key diagnostic mode, it is possible to check if the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is operating properly with the selected electrical key antenna and within the selected detection area by the sounding of the buzzer.
  • If the buzzer sounds with [CH1] displayed but not with [CH2], the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly cannot be detected by channel 2 due to a malfunction, such as wave interference.

(a) Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Smart Key / Utility / Communication Check(Key Diag Mode).
