BODY ± Door42-27
Inspection Procedure 8
When the glass is fully raised, it then lowers
automatically.
Probable cause
When the window is within 12 mm of being fully closed, the limit switch turns off
to prevent the window from being lowered. However, the above problem can occur
if there is a malfunction of the limit switch or a short-circuit in a harness.

CHASSIS ELECTRICAL ± Ignition Switch and Immobilizer System54-11
INSPECTION PROCEDURE FOR DIAGNOSIS CODES

Code No.11 Transponder communication system or radio
interference of ID codeProbable cause

The ID code of the transponder is not sent to the immobilizer-ECU immediately
after the ignition switch is turned to ON position.

If the engine is started while several ignition keys are in the vicinity, then interference
between the different keys may occur, which will cause this code to be generated.
Radio interference of ID code

Malfunction of transponder

Malfunction of ignition key ring antenna

Malfunction of harness or connector

Malfunction of immobilizer-ECU
