* When the key is brought near the electrical key antenna (for rear side), the possibility of wave interference decreases, and it can be determined if wave interference is causing the problem symptom.
* If the operation is normal, the possibility of wave interference is high. Also, added vehicle components may cause wave interference. If installed, remove them and perform the operation.

OK:

Entry functions operate normally.

NG -- PERFORM KEY DIAGNOSTIC MODE INSPECTION

OK -- AFFECTED BY WAVE INTERFERENCE
