PRE-CHECK
1. SETTING OF THE THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM
Setting Conditions
(a) Close all the doors.
(b) Close the engine hood and luggage compartment door.
(c) Remove the ignition key from the ignition key cylinder.
Setting Operation
When any of the following operations (a), (b) or (c) is performed, the theft deterrent indicator light will light
up as described.
(1) Lock the left or right front door using the key
(All doors are locked by key-interlinked lock operation).
(2) Lock all the doors using the wireless door lock control system.
(3) With the rear doors locked and with one of the front doors locked, lock the other front door without
using the key (keyless door lock).

After about 30 secondsBlinks *1
*1: 1 sec. or, 1 sec. off
HINT:
When the theft deterrent system is set, doors cannot be locked or unlocked with the door lock control switch
and the luggage compartment door cannot be unlocked with the luggage compartment door opener switch.
2. CANCELING OF THE THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM IN THE SET CONDITION
Check if the theft deterrent indicator light is blinking.
Canceling Operation
When any of the following operations (a), (b), (c) or (d) is performed, the theft deterrent system is canceled
and indicator light will go off.
Condition
(1) Unlock the left or right front door using the key.
(2) Unlock all the doors using the wireless door lock control system.
(3) Insert the ignition key in the ignition key cylinder and turn it to the ACC or ON position
(This is operative only when the theft deterrent system has never operated).
(4) Unlock the luggage compartment door with the key. *1
*1: The theft deterrent system is temporarily canceled only while the luggage compartment door is open.
Approximately 2 seconds after the luggage compartment door is closed, the theft deterrent system is reset.
3. CHECK OF THE THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM OPERATION
Check if the theft deterrent indicator light is blinking.
When any of the following operations (a) or (b) is performed, the system sounds the horns and theft deterrent
horn and flashes the headlights and taillights for about one minute to alert. At the same time, the system
disconnects the starter motor circuit and locks all doors (if all doors are not locked, the system repeats door
locking operation every 2 seconds during the one minute alert time).
(1) Open the engine hood using the engine hood opener lever.
(2) Unlock any of the front or rear doors without key operation.

PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE
Proceed to the reference page shown in the matrix chart below for each malfunction symptom and trouble-
shoot for each circuit.
HINT:
Troubleshooting of the theft deterrent system is based on the premise that the door lock control system is
operating normally. Accordingly, before troubleshooting the theft deterrent system, first make certain that
the door lock control system is operating normally.

CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Indicator Light Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
When the theft deterrent system is preparing to set, this circuit lights up the indicator light. When the system
has been set, it continually turns the indicator light on for 1 second and turns it off for 1 second, thus blinking
the indicator light.
WIRING DIAGRAM
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1 Check indicator light.
PREPARATION:
Remove combination meter.
CHECK:
Connect positive
lead to terminal C5 and negative  lead to terminal C2 of combination meter connector
then check indicator light comes on.
NG Replace combination meter.
OK

Headlight Control Relay Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
When the theft deterrent system is activated, it causes the Tr in the ECU for switch on and off at approximate-
ly 0.4 sec. cycles. This switches the headlight control relay on and off, thus flashing the headlights (See the
wiring diagram below).
In this condition, if any of the following operations is done, the Tr in the ECU goes off and the headlight control
relay switches off, thus stopping the headlights flashing:
(1) Unlock the front LH or RH door with key.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to ACC or ON position.
(3) Unlock the doors with the wireless door lock control system.
(4) Wait for approximately 60 seconds.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
The flow chart below is based on the premise that the headlights flash normally whenever the light control
switch is operated. If headlight operation is not normal when the light control switch is operated, proceed
to troubleshooting on page BE-2.
1 Check voltage between terminal HEAD of theft deterrent ECU connector and
body ground.
PREPARATION:
Disconnect the theft deterrent ECU connector.
CHECK:
Measure voltage between terminal HEAD of theft deterrent
ECU connector and body ground.
OK:
Voltage: 10 - 14V
OK Check and replace theft deterrent ECU.
NG
Check and repair harness and connector between theft deterrent ECU and headlight control
relay.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
When the theft deterrent system is activated, it causes the Tr in the ECU to switch on and off at approximately
0.4 sec. intervals. This switches the taillight control relay on and off, thus flashing the taillights (See the wiring
diagram below).
In this condition, if any of the following operations is done, the Tr in the ECU goes off and the taillight control
relay switches off, thus stopping the taillights flashing:
(1) Unlock the front LH or RH door with key.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to ACC or ON position.
(3) Unlock the doors with the wireless door lock control system.
(4) Wait for approximately 60 seconds.

Connect the positive (+) tester probe of the amme-
ter to terminal B of the generator.

Connect the positive (+) tester probe of the voltme-
ter to terminal B of the generator.

Ground the negative (-) tester probe of the voltme-
ter.
(b) Check the charging circuit as follows:
With the engine running from idling to 2,000 rpm, check
the reading on the ammeter and voltmeter.
Standard amperage: 10 A or less
Standard voltage:
at 25°C (77°F)13.9 - 15.1 V
at 115°C (239°F)13.5 - 14.3 V
If the voltmeter reading is greater than standard voltage, re-
place the voltage regulator.
If the voltmeter reading is less than standard voltage, check the
voltage regulator and generator as follows:

With terminal F grounded, start the engine and
check the voltmeter reading of terminal B.

If the voltmeter reading is greater than standard
voltage, replace the voltage regulator.

If the voltmeter reading is less than standard volt-
age, check the generator.
7. INSPECT CHARGING CIRCUIT WITH LOAD
(a) With the engine running at 2,000 rpm, turn on the high
beam headlights and place the heater blower switch at
ºHIº.
(b) Check the reading on the ammeter.
Standard amperage: 30 A or more
If the ammeter reading is less than the standard amperage, re-
pair the generator.
HINT:
If the battery is fully charged, the indication will sometimes be
less than standard amperage.
