Title: THEFT DETERRENT / KEYLESS ENTRY: SMART KEY SYSTEM (for Start Function, Gasoline Model): Additional Key cannot be Registered; 2022 - 2024 MY RAV4 [12/2021 -        ]

Additional Key cannot be Registered

DESCRIPTION

If additional registration is not possible, a malfunction of the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly, certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly), engine switch, No. 1 indoor electrical key antenna assembly (front floor) or door control receiver is suspected.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

  • If registration of an electrical key transmitter sub-assembly cannot be performed, refer to the Registration.

  • When using the Techstream with the engine switch off, connect the Techstream to the DLC3 and turn a courtesy light switch on and off at intervals of 1.5 seconds or less until communication between the Techstream and the vehicle begins. Then select the vehicle type under manual mode and enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Smart Key. While using the Techstream, periodically turn a courtesy light switch on and off at intervals of 1.5 seconds or less to maintain communication between the Techstream and the vehicle.
  • The smart key system (for Start Function) uses the LIN communication system and CAN communication system. Inspect the communication function by following How to Proceed with Troubleshooting. Troubleshoot the smart key system (for Start Function) after confirming that the communication systems are functioning properly.

Diagnostic Note

Unmatched Vehicle-ID

Key No. (incorrect or correct)

Yes or No

Yes: Communication malfunction

No: Communication normal

The vehicle ID registered in the vehicle and the vehicle ID registered in the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly are different (if a key from another vehicle is brought into the vehicle exterior detection area while the doors are locked, "Yes" is displayed for "Unmatched Vehicle-ID" in the Data List).

Other potential causes:

  • An electrical key transmitter sub-assembly from a different vehicle is being used.
  • A communication error due to wave interference.
  • The electrical key transmitter sub-assembly or certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) is malfunctioning.
