SMART KEY SYSTEM CHECK DURING PDS

Component
GENERAL INFORMATION

Models
'10 Venza

INTRODUCTION:
Some 2010 model year Venza vehicles are equipped with a Smart Key system, which allows the customer to enter and start the vehicle without using a mechanical key. To ensure the system is operating properly, the Smart Key functions (Smart Entry and Smart Start) should be inspected during Pre-Delivery Service (PDS). The following inspection procedure has been developed to confirm the proper operation of the Smart Key system prior to vehicle delivery.

NOTE:
Check all of the Smart Keys using this TSB.
