Keyless Entry: Description and Operation

System Outline

Door lock control (Lock and unlock) and panic control (TVIP 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 the doors completely closed, when the lock or unlock button (Transmitter) is pushed, the door control receiver receives the electrical waves from the transmitter, and sends a signal to the integration relay causing it to operate.

As a result, the integration relay 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 switch the condition from lock to unlock or vice versa, causing the door lock motor to operate.

2. Visual Confirmation of Lock or Unlock

5. Glass Hatch Open Operation

With the ignition key not inserted into the ignition key cylinder, when the hatch button transmitter) is pushed, the door control receiver receives the electrical waves from the transmitter, and sends a signal to the integration relay causing it to operate.

As a result, the glass hatch is opened.

6. Wireless Control Stop Function

If a door is open (Door courtesy SW on), a signal is input from the door courtesy SW to the integration relay 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 integration relay stopping wireless door lock or unlock.

7. Repeat Function
