HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING
HINT: Troubleshooting of the wireless door lock control system is based on the \
premise that the door lock control
system is operating normally. Accordingly, before troubleshooting the wireless door lock control system, first
make certain that the door lock control system is operating normally.
Perform troubleshooting in accordance with the procedure on the followin\
g page.

CUSTOMER PROBLEM ANALYSIS
Using the customer problem analysis check sheet of reference, ask the custome\
r in as much detail as pos-
sible about the problem.
\b PROBLEM SYMPTOM CONFIRMATION,  SYMPTOM SIMULATION
Confirm the problem symptoms. If the problem does not reappear, be sure to simulate the problem using
the ªProblem Simulation Methodº.
At this stage check whether the whole wireless door lock control system fa\
ils to operate, or whether only
some of the particular functions fail to operate.
 PRECHECK TYPE I,  PRECHECK TYPE II
Using the self diagnosis function of the wireless door lock ECU, perform Prec\
heck Type I to find out if the
system is normal (system non±operation due to external noise, etc.)\
or if the abnormality lies with the ve-
hicle. In Precheck Type II, locate if the cause of problem lies in the transmitter, the antenna or the vehicle.
Perform Precheck Type I when whole wireless door lock control system fails to operate only\
at a specific
locality.
Perform Precheck Type II when whole wireless door lock control system fails to operate no matter where
the locality is.
When only some functions of wireless door lock control system do not operate\
, proceed to [8] on the Matrix
Chart of Problem Symptoms.
 INSPECTION OF TRANSMITTER, [7] INSPECTION OF ANTENNA CIRCUIT
If it is found in Precheck Type II that the cause of the problem is in the transmitter or antenna, proc\
eed to
the appropriate pages and start troubleshooting.
 MATRIX CHART OF PROBLEM SYMPTOMS
Confirm the order of inspection for each applicable problem symptom on t\
he matrix chart.
 CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Proceed with diagnosis of each circuit in accordance with the inspection order confirmed in [8]. Judge
whether the cause of the problem is in the sensor, wire harness and connectors, or the ECU.
[10] REPAIR If the cause of the problem is found in [9]., perform repairs.
[11] CONFIRMATION TEST After completing repairs, confirm that the problem is eliminated and that all functions of the wireless door
lock control system are normal.
