B27A8





THEFT DETERRENT / KEYLESS ENTRY: SMART KEY SYSTEM (for Entry Function): B27A8: Open in Outside Luggage Compartment Electrical Key Antenna Circuit
B27A8 - Open in Outside Luggage Compartment Electrical Key Antenna Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The certification ECU generates a request signal and transmits the signal to the electrical key antenna (outside luggage). The electrical key antenna (outside luggage) detects that the electrical key is brought close to the vehicle, and when a request signal is received from within 1.0 m (3.28 ft.) of the back door, the signal is transmitted. DTC B27A8 is stored by the certification ECU when an open circuit is detected in the circuit between the certification ECU and electrical key antenna (outside luggage) (CLG8 - CLG5, CG8B - CLGB).

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
* The smart key system (for Entry Function) uses a multiplex communication system (LIN communication system) and the CAN communication system. Inspect the communication function by following How to Proceed with Troubleshooting How To Proceed With Troubleshooting. Troubleshoot the smart key system (for Entry Function) after confirming that the communication systems are functioning properly.
* When using the Techstream with the engine switch off to troubleshoot: Connect the Techstream to the DLC3 and turn a courtesy light switch on and off at 1.5-second intervals until communication between the Techstream and vehicle begins.
* Before replacing the certification ECU, refer to the engine immobiliser system (w/ Smart Key System) Engine Immobilizer System (w/ Smart Key System).
