Initial Inspection

ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION

1. OUTLINE OF THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM

a. When the theft deterrent system detects that the vehicle is being tampered with, the system sets off the alarm, causing the horns to sound and the lights to illuminate or blink in order to alert people around the vehicle to the theft.
b. The theft deterrent system has 2 modes: active arming mode and passive arming mode. Passive arming mode can be switched ON/OFF (see step 4).
c. Each mode has 5 states: disarmed state (1), disarmed state (2), arming preparation state, armed state and alarm sounding state.

1. Disarmed state 1.and disarmed state (2):
- The alarm function is not operating.
- The theft deterrent system is not operating.

2. Arming preparation state:
- The time until the system goes into the armed state.
- The theft deterrent system is not operating.

3. Armed state:
- The theft deterrent system is operating.

4. Alarm sounding state:
- The alarm function is operating.

HINT: If the vehicle remains in a condition that sets off the alarm (any door remains open, engine hood remains open, luggage compartment door remains open, ignition switch remains directly connected.after the alarm ends, the alarm will be activated a maximum of 10 times for every one of the specified conditions.




Alarm time: (60 sec. + 5 sec.) x 10
Refer to the table for the alarm method and time

HINT: If either of the doors is unlocked and there is also no key in the ignition key cylinder during the armed state, a forced door lock signal will be output.

Part 1:




Part 2:




2. ACTIVE ARMING MODE

- Active arming mode immediately starts alarm control when the doors are locked.

3. PASSIVE ARMING MODE

Part 1:







Passive arming mode can be switched ON/OFF (see step 4).
The mode set initially (shipped from factory) is active arming mode (not passive arming mode).
During passive arming mode, the theft deterrent system goes into the armed state even if the doors are not locked.
Passive arming mode starts the alarm control after the key is removed from the ignition key cylinder and the doors are closed.
Detecting that the doors are unlocked does not set off the alarm during passive arming mode.
A forced door lock signal is not output during passive arming mode (see step 5).
When the theft deterrent system detects that the doors are opened during passive arming mode, the alarm is not set off immediately because an entry delay time is set.
If one of the following conditions is fulfilled during passive arming mode, the theft deterrent system will switch to active arming mode.

With all doors, engine hood and luggage compartment door closed, lock all doors by key operation.
With all doors, engine hood and luggage compartment door closed, lock all doors by wireless operation.
Lock all doors without using key and perform either of the following: 1) open any door, the engine hood or the luggage compartment door, and then close them all and lock all doors; 2) leave all doors locked, and leave the engine hood and luggage closed.




4. CHANGING METHOD OF PASSIVE MODE (ON or OFF)

5.FORCED DOOR LOCK CONTROL

a. The forced door lock control prevents the vehicle from being tampered with. Immediately after a door is unlocked (alarm starts), the door is forced to lock by a forced door lock signal.

1. Conditions that force the doors to lock:
When no key is in the ignition key cylinder and 0.4 second has elapsed after the previous output of a forced door lock signal, the doors will be forced to lock if any of the following conditions is fulfilled.

- The theft deterrent system is in the armed state of active arming mode.
- All the doors are locked. Any door is unlocked.
- Any door is unlocked state.

6. ALARM MEMORY FUNCTION

a. If the alarm is activated (tampering is detected.while the theft deterrent system is set, the alarm memory function will record it. Whenever the theft deterrent system is canceled, the alarm memory function causes the taillamps to illuminate for 2 seconds to indicate that the alarm was activated.

1. Conditions of the alarm memory function that cause the taillamps to light up:
When the theft deterrent system has entered into the alarm sounding state (tampering has been detected.even once, the taillamps will illuminate for 2 seconds if one of the following conditions are fulfilled.

Switched to the disarmed state 1.from the armed state during active arming mode.
Switched to the disarmed state 2.from the armed state during active arming mode.
Switched to the disarmed state 1.from the armed state during passive arming mode.
Switched to the disarmed state 2.from the armed state during passive arming mode.

HINT: Active arming mode: see step 2 Passive arming mode: see step 3

7. PANIC ALARM CONTROL

a. The panic alarm control panic alarm can be activated by pressing the PANIC (LOCK) switch on the wireless transmitter. However, this control operates apart from the alarm control by the theft deterrent system (switched to the alarm sounding state from the armed state).

1. Conditions that cause the panic alarm control to set off the panic alarm:
The panic alarm is activated by pressing the PANIC (LOCK) switch on the wireless transmitter over 2.4 seconds under the following conditions.

The ignition switch is OFF.
The theft deterrent system is not in the alarm sounding state (active arming mode and passive arming mode).
The panic alarm control is not operating (the alarm is not set off).

2. Conditions that causes the panic alarm control to stop the alarm:
The panic alarm control stops the panic alarm when any of the following conditions is fulfilled during panic alarm operation.

The ignition switch is turned ON.
A switches on the wireless transmitter (LOCK/UNLOCK/LUGGAGE) is pressed.
The panic alarm ends (60 + 5 sec. have passed).
The theft deterrent system switches to the alarm sounding state (active arming mode and passive arming mode). However, the alarm will continue. Conditions for canceling the panic alarm are the same as the alarm control.

HINT:
Active arming mode: see step 2
Passive arming mode: see step 3

8. SECURITY INDICATOR LIGHT OUTPUT

a. The theft warning ECU outputs a signal to illuminate the security indicator lamp according to the state of the theft deterrent system. However, some of the actual lighting conditions of the security indicator lamp are different from the outputs of the theft warning ECU.






HINT: When the immobilizer system is set, the security indicator lamp blinks during the disarmed state (1), 2.and the armed state due to the output signals from the immobilizer system.
