GENERAL – How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points00-10
HOW TO USE THE INSPECTION PROCEDURES
The causes of a high frequency of problems occurring in electronic circuitry are generally the connectors,
components, the ECU and the harnesses between connectors, in that order. These inspection procedures
follow this order, and they first try to discover a problem with a connector or a defective component.

dures.
Indicates the OK judgement conditions.
3. Detailed inspection procedures (methods)
such as component inspection and circuit
inspection are listed on a separate page, and
are given here for reference.
5. Inspect the contact condition at each connector terminal.
(Refer to Connector Inspection Service Points.)
The connector position can be located in the wiring diagram in the
electrical wiring manual by means of this symbol.
Caution
After carrying out connector inspection, always be sure to
reconnect the connector as it was before.
6. Confirm that there are trouble symptoms. If trouble symptoms have
disappeared, the connector may have been inserted incorrectly and the
trouble symptom may have disappeared during inspection.
If it seems that trouble symptoms still remain, proceed to the next page of
instructions.
7. If trouble symptoms still remain up to this stage, there is a possibility that there is an
open or short circuit in the harness between the connectors, so check the harness.
Alternatively, the cause may be a defective ECU, so try replacing the ECU and check
if the trouble symptom disappears.

HARNESS INSPECTION
Check for an open or short circuit in the harness between the terminals which were defective according
to the connector measurements. Carry out this inspection while referring to the electrical wiring manual.
Here, “Check harness between power supply and terminal xx” also includes checking for blown fuses.
For inspection service points when there is a blown fuse, refer to “Inspection Service Points for a Blown
Fuse.”
MEASURES TO TAKE AFTER REPLACING THE ECU
If the trouble symptoms have not disappeared even after replacing the ECU, repeat the inspection procedure
from the beginning.

SECRET CODE REGISTRATION METHOD
Each individual secret code is registered inside
the transmitter, and so it is necessary to register
these codes with the EEPROM inside the receiver
in the following cases.

When either the transmitter or receiver is
replaced;

If it appears that a problem is occurring because
of faulty registration of a code.
A maximum of two different codes can be stored
in the memory area of the EEPROM (two different
transmitters can be used). When the code for the
first transmitter is registered, the previously-regis-
tered codes for two transmitters are cleared.
Therefore, if you are using two transmitters or are
adding a second transmitter, the codes for both
transmitters must be registered at the same time.
Before beginning with the registration, check that
the doors lock normally when the key is used.
1. Connect the MUT-II to the diagnosis connector.
NOTE
This will connect terminal (1) of the diagnosis
connector to earth, and the system will be in
secret code registration standby mode.
Caution
Always turn the ignition switch to OFF before
connecting and disconnecting the MUT-II.
2. Close all the doors.
3. Turn the ignition switch to ACC and then back
to OFF.NOTE
The doors will lock and unlock once at this
time and the system will switch to registration
mode.
4. Press the transmitter switch, and then press
it two times within 10 seconds of the first press.
This will register the code.
5. After registration is completed, the doors will
be automatically locked and unlocked once.
6. If you are using two transmitters or have added
a second transmitter, the same registration
procedure should be carried out for the second
transmitter, and it should be carried out within
one minute after registration of the code for
the first transmitter has been completed. After
the second registration is completed, the doors
will be automatically locked and unlocked once.
7. Registration mode will be cancelled if one of
the following conditions is met.

When the secret codes for two transmitters
have been registered;

When 1 minute has passed after
registration mode started;

If the MUT-II is disconnected (the earth
connection is broken);

If the ignition switch is turned to ON;

If any of the doors are opened;
8. After registration is completed, carry out the
following to check if the keyless entry system
is operable properly.

Remove the ignition key.

Close all the doors.
