INSPECTION PROCEDURE
NOTE: If the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) is replaced, register the key and ECU communication ID Engine Immobiliser System (W/ Smart Key System).

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK DTC OUTPUT
(a) Delete the DTCs Engine Immobiliser System (w/ Smart Key System).
(b) Recheck for DTCs.
OK:
B278A output does not recur.
NG -- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (CERTIFICATION ECU - ENGINE SWITCH)
OK -- USE SIMULATION METHOD TO CHECK
2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (CERTIFICATION ECU - ENGINE SWITCH)




(a) Disconnect the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) and engine switch connectors.
(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance:






NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK -- Continue to next step.
3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ENGINE SWITCH POWER SOURCE)




(a) Reconnect the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) and engine switch connectors.
(b) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard voltage:






NG -- REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK -- Continue to next step.
4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ENGINE SWITCH BODY GROUND)




(a) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance:






NG -- REPLACE CERTIFICATION ECU (SMART KEY ECU ASSEMBLY)
OK -- REPLACE ENGINE SWITCH
