Title: THEFT DETERRENT / KEYLESS ENTRY: SMART KEY SYSTEM (for Entry Function, HV Model): Entry Exterior Alarm and Answer-back Buzzer do not Sound; 2025 MY RAV4 HV [11/2024 -        ]

Entry Exterior Alarm and Answer-back Buzzer do not Sound

DESCRIPTION

The smart key system (for Entry Function) uses the wireless door lock buzzer to perform various vehicle exterior warnings. When the conditions of each warning are met, the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) sends a buzzer activation request signal to the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) via CAN communication and the buzzer sounds.
