* Gather as much information as possible for reference. Past problems that seem unrelated may also help in some cases.
* The following 5 items are important points for problem analysis:






* *: Be sure to ask the customer in detail about the following points concerning the vehicle operating conditions, environment and problem, and then check for DTCs.
(a) If the entry lock/unlock function does not operate for all doors.
(b) If the entry lock function does not operate.
(c) If the entry unlock function does not operate.
(d) If both the entry lock and unlock functions do not operate.

(b) Specific times when the system does not operate:
Whether or not symptoms occurred immediately after purchase or only recently.
Whether or not the symptoms occurred when the key was near the vehicle (electrical key antenna).
(c) If the system does not operate only when near specific vehicles (there may be an effect from electric waves from the wireless systems of other vehicles).
(d) If the system operates intermittently.
(e) If the key is bundled together with other items.
(f) If the key is carried together with other electronic devices, such as cell phones, personal computers, portable music players, other electrical keys, etc. (keep the key at least 0.1 m (0.33 ft.) away from such items).
(g) Where the key is being kept when not in use:
Whether or not the key being placed within 1 m (3.28 ft.) of items such as TVs, DVD recorders, induction cookers, rice cookers, dishwashers, modems, cell phones, personal computers, microwave ovens, desk or floor lamps, cordless telephones, etc.
(h) If there are electronic devices that transmit electric waves placed in the vehicle.
(i) When the key battery was last replaced (when the battery is low):
The key battery can be checked using the "Key Low Battery" item in the Data List Smart Access System With Push-Button Start (For Start Function).
(j) If the customer installed any optional components (theft deterrent devices, wireless fog lights, etc.) to the vehicle.
