Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

System Outline

The door lock control (Lock and unlock) and panic mode control (Theft alarm and flash) is performed by remote control, without the ignition key inserted in the door key cylinder, using low-power electrical waves emitted by a transmitter.

1. WIRELESS DOOR LOCK OR UNLOCK NORMAL OPERATION
With the ignition key not inserted into the ignition key cylinder (Unlock warning SW OFF) and all doors completely closed, when the lock or unlock button (Transmitter) is pushed, the wireless door lock ECU receives the electrical waves from the transmitter, and operates.

As a result, the ECU judges whether the door is locked or unlocked based on the signal from the door lock motor and door unlock detection SW, and sends a signal to the theft deterrent ECU and the integration relay to switch the condition from lock to unlock or vice versa, operating the door lock motor.

2. VISUAL CONFIRMATION OF LOCK OR UNLOCK
If all doors indicate that they are locked after the lock command, parking lights and taillight will flash once. If any door indicates that it is open after the unlock command, parking lights and taillights will flash twice.

3. WIRELESS DOOR UNLOCK OPERATION
By pushing the unlock button (Transmitter) once, the driver's door is unlocked. Furthermore, pushing the button again within 3 seconds, the other doors are unlocked.

4. AUTOMATIC LOCK OPERATION
With the ignition key not inserted into the ignition key cylinder (Unlock warning SW OFF) and all the doors completely closed, after pushing the button (Transmitter) to unlock all the doors, if a door is not opened within 30 seconds, all the doors will be automatically relocked.

5. WIRELESS CONTROL STOP FUNCTION
If a door is open (Door courtesy SW ON), a signal is input from the door courtesy SW to the wireless door lock ECU, stopping wireless door lock or unlock.

If the ignition key is in the ignition key cylinder (Unlock warning SW ON), the unlock warning SW inputs a signal to the wireless door lock ECU, stopping wireless door lock or unlock.

6. DOOR LOCK MOTOR PROTECTIVE FUNCTION
If the door lock or unlock condition does not change after wireless door look or unlock operation, 2 seconds later, the integration relay sends current three times to the door lock motor. If the door lock condition remains unchanged, the wireless door lock ECU stops reception and stops door lock and unlock function.

7. REMOTE PANIC OPERATION
Panic mode will function when doors are locked or unlocked, open or closed. When the panic button (Transmitter) is pushed once, theft alarm sounds and headlights and taillight flash. If the panic or the unlock button (Transmitter) is pushed again, sounding and flashing will stop. Panic will not function when the ignition key is in the ignition key cylinder.

8. POWER SLIDE DOOR FUNCTION
The power slide door can be opened/closed by operating the power door SW on the transmitter.
