Operation Check

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Subaru BRZ. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Take into account the following points when checking.
1. Wireless door lock/unlock function:
  The wireless door lock control function operates only when the following three conditions are met.
  1. The engine switch is off.
  2. All doors are closed.
  3. Power door lock system is operating normally.
  NOTE: The unlock function operates even when a door is open.
2. The operation range of wireless door lock control function varies depending on the situation.
  1. The operation area varies depending on the user and how the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is held.
  2. In some areas, the remote control function may work only in a part of the operation range. This is because the operation range is reduced due to the vehicle shape or surrounding environment.
  3. Because the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly uses an extremely low power radio wave, the operation range may be limited or the remote control may not function if a strong radio wave or noises are present in the same frequency band as the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly.
  4. If the battery charge level of the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is low, the operation range is reduced and the remote control may not function.
  NOTE: If the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is left under direct sunlight for a long time (for example, left on the meter panel), the battery charge level may decrease or other troubles may occur.
Inspecting wireless door lock control function
NOTE:
- The switches outlined in this text are those for transmitting signals. The switches are integrated in the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly.
- All the functions listed below must be inspected in relation to the remote control operation range.
1. Confirm that the vehicle is set in an environment where the wireless control function can operate.
2. Inspect the basic functions.
  1. Check that the transmitter LED illuminates three times or more when the lock switch of the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is held down for 5 seconds or more.
    NOTE: If LED does not illuminate three times or more even when the switch is held down, it is possible that the battery charge level is low.
  2. Check that all doors are locked when the lock switch is pressed.
  3. Check that all doors are unlocked when the unlock switch is pressed.
3. Check the chattering prevention function.
  1. Check that the relevant operation takes place only once without being repeated while the switch is held down. Check that the relevant operation takes place when the switch is pressed at 1 second intervals.
4. Check the auto lock function.
  1. Press the unlock switch to unlock all doors. Check that all doors are automatically locked if no door is opened and all doors are not locked within 60 seconds.
  2. Press the unlock switch to unlock all doors. Check that the auto lock function does not operate if any door is opened or all doors are locked within 60 seconds.
  3. Press the unlock switch to unlock all doors. Check that the auto lock function does not operate if all doors are locked manually (for example, by key link operation or by pressing the lock switch) within 60 seconds.
5. Check the switch operation false recognition prevention function.
  1. Check that all doors are not locked and unlocked by any switch operation with a transmitter not registered but are locked and unlocked by switch operations with a registered transmitter.
6. Check the door open warning function.
  1. Check that the wireless door lock buzzer sounds continuously for 10 seconds when the lock switch is pressed while a door is open or not closed properly.
7. Check the answer-back function (hazard warning lights flashing).
  1. Check that the hazard warning light blinks once and all doors are locked simultaneously when the lock switch is pressed.
  2. Check that the hazard warning light blinks twice and all doors are unlocked simultaneously when the unlock switch is pressed.
8. Check the answer-back (wireless door lock buzzer) function*.
  1. Check that the buzzer sounds once and all doors are locked simultaneously when the lock switch is pressed.
  2. Check that the buzzer sounds twice and the driver's door is unlocked simultaneously when the unlock switch is pressed.
  3. When the trunk is opened by wireless operation, the wireless door lock buzzer sounds.
9. Check the panic alarm control function *.
  1. Check that the horn sounds for 60 seconds, the headlight and tail light flash, and the room light illuminates (if the light switch is set to the door position) when the panic switch is held down for 0.8 second or more. Check that the horn stops and the lights stop flashing when any switch of the transmitter is pressed.
10. Check the entry illumination function.
  1. Check that the map light illuminates (if the light switch is set to the door position) and all doors are unlocked when the unlock switch is pressed with all doors locked.
