TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS



DIAGNOSIS

STEP 1. Check KOS-ECU connector C-31 and outside transmitter antenna assembly (trunk lid) connector F-16 for loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector.

Q. Are KOS-ECU connector C-31 and outside transmitter antenna assembly (trunk lid) connector F-16 in good condition?
Go to Step 2.
Repair or replace the damaged component(s). Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection . Check that the outside transmitter antenna assembly (trunk lid) works normally.

STEP 2. Check the wiring harness between KOS-ECU connector C-31 (terminal Nos. 6, 19, 40) and outside transmitter antenna assembly (trunk lid) connector F-16 (terminal Nos. 1, 2, 3).

  • Check the communication, power supply, and earth wires for open circuit.
note Also check intermediate connectors C-21, C-36, D-14 for loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. If intermediate connectors C-21, C-36, D-14 is damaged, repair or replace the damaged component(s) as described in GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection .

Q. Are the wiring harness between KOS-ECU connector C-31 (terminal Nos. 6, 19, 40) and outside transmitter antenna assembly (trunk lid) connector F-16 (terminal Nos. 1, 2, 3) in good condition?
Go to Step 3.
The wiring harness may be damaged or the connector(s) may have loose, corroded or damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the connector. Repair the wiring harness as necessary. Check that the outside transmitter antenna assembly (driver’s side) works normally.

STEP 3. Keyless operation system communication test
Check that the communication with the outside transmitter antenna assembly (trunk lid) is normal (Refer to Antenna Test ).
Antennas to be checked
    Trunk Lid antenna (exterior)
OK: Normal is displayed.

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 4.
Replace the outside transmitter antenna assembly (trunk lid).

STEP 4. Check whether the diagnostic trouble code is reset.
(1)Erase the DTC.
(2)Turn the ignition switch from the LOCK (OFF) position to the ON position.
(3)Check if the DTC is set.

Q. Is the DTC set?
Replace KOS-ECU and register the ID codes (Refer to ).
The procedure is complete.
