Keyless Access Control Unit

NOTE:

Before testing, check for DTCs. If any DTCs are indicated, troubleshoot those DTCs first.
Before testing, make sure the No. A12-1 (60 A), No. A12-3 (50 A), No. A12-4 (30 A) and the No. A21 (10 A) fuses in the under-hood fuse/relay box are OK.
Before testing. make sure the No. B9 (20 A), No. B31 (10 A), No. B37 (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box are OK.

1. Press the engine start/stop button to select the OFF mode.

2. Disconnect the keyless access control unit connectors .

NOTE: All connector views are shown from the wire side of the female terminals.

3. Inspect the connectors and socket terminals to be sure they are all making good contact:

If the terminals are bent, loose, or corroded, repair them as necessary, and recheck the system.
If the terminals look OK, go to step 4.

4. With the connectors still disconnected, perform the following input tests:

If any test indicates a problem, find and correct the cause, then recheck the system.
If all the input tests prove OK, then go to step 5.
