Operation Check
DOOR LOCK: WIRELESS DOOR LOCK CONTROL SYSTEM: OPERATION CHECK
1. FUNCTIONS AND OPERATING CONDITIONS
(a) This wireless door lock control function operates only when the following 3 conditions are met:
(1) There is no key in the ignition key cylinder.
(2) The power door lock system is functioning normally.
(3) The function is not disabled by customization.
(b) The wireless transmitter operational range differs depending on the situation.
(1) The operational range differs depending on the user, the way the transmitter is held and the location.
(2) In certain areas, the operational range will be reduced due to the vehicle body shape and the influence of the surrounding environment.
(3) Since the transmitter uses weak radio waves, the operational range may be reduced or the transmitter may not function if interference or stronger radio waves occur in the area where the transmitter is used.
(4) When the battery is low, the operational range is reduced and/or the transmitter may not function.
HINT
If the transmitter has been left in a place that is exposed to direct sunlight, such as on the instrument panel, the battery may be weakened or other problems may occur.
2. CHECK WIRELESS DOOR LOCK CONTROL FUNCTIONS
HINT
* The switches built into the door control transmitter send radio waves to the door lock control receiver.
* The operational range must be taken into account during checks.
(a) Establish conditions that allow the wireless control function to be operated successfully.
(b) Check the following basic functions.
(1) Check that the transmitter LED lights up 3 times when each switch is pressed 3 times and that the LED blinks when each switch is pressed and held down.
HINT
If the LED does not illuminate when the switch has been pressed 3 times or more, the battery may be depleted.
(2) Check that all the doors lock when the LOCK switch is pressed.
(3) Check that only the driver side door unlocks when the UNLOCK switch is pressed once and that the other doors unlock when the UNLOCK switch is pressed again within 3 seconds.
(c) Check the automatic lock function.
(1) Check that if all doors are unlocked with the UNLOCK switch and none of the doors is opened or locked within approximately 60 seconds, the doors automatically re-lock.
(2) Check that if all doors are unlocked with the UNLOCK switch and a door is opened or locked within approximately 60 seconds, the automatic lock function does not operate.
(d) Check the door ajar warning function.
(1) Check that the wireless door lock buzzer sounds for approximately 10 seconds when the LOCK switch is pressed with any of the doors ajar or open.
(e) Check the interior light ON function.
HINT
Turn the interior light switch to the DOOR position before the check.
(1) Check that the interior lights come on simultaneously with the unlocking operation when the UNLOCK switch is pressed.
(2) Check that the interior lights go off in approximately 15 seconds if none of the doors is opened after the unlocking operation.
(f) Check the answer back function.
(1) When the LOCK switch is pressed, check that the lights flash once and the buzzer sounds once, simultaneously with the locking operation of all the doors.
(2) When the UNLOCK switch is pressed once, check that the lights flash twice and the buzzer sounds twice, simultaneously with the unlocking operation of the driver side door.
(3) When the UNLOCK switch is pressed again within 3 seconds, check that the lights flash twice and the buzzer sounds twice, simultaneously with the unlocking operation of all the doors.
(g) Check the remote panic function.
(1) Check that the horn sounds, the headlights and hazard lights flash and the interior light remains on (when the light switch is turned to the DOOR position) for 60 seconds by the theft alarm function, when the PANIC switch is held down for 0.8 seconds or more. Also, check that the horn stops sounding and the lights stop flashing when either switch of the transmitter is pressed.
(h) Check the switch operation fail-safe function.
(1) Check that the doors cannot be locked by operating a switch while the key is in the ignition key cylinder.
HINT
This check cannot be made when the system is in recognition code registration mode.
(i) Check the chattering prevention function.
(1) Check that the corresponding operation occurs only once, and does not repeat itself while the switch is held down. Check that the corresponding operation is carried out when the switch is operated repeatedly at 1-second intervals.
