System Description
FUNCTION
Multi-remote control system has the following function.
lDoor lock
lDoor unlock
lHazard reminder
LOCK OPERATION
To lock door by multi-remote controller, the following two signals must be received.
lKey switch OFF (when ignition key is not in ignition key cylinder.)
lAll door switches CLOSED
When the LOCK signal is input to multi-remote control unit (the antenna of the system is combined with
multi-remote control unit), ground is supplied
lthrough multi-remote control unit terminalV10
lto smart entrance control unit terminalV4and
lto door lock relay terminalV6.
Then smart entrance control unit operates to lock doors (except for driver's door) and door lock relay ener-
gized to lock driver's door.
UNLOCK OPERATION
To unlock door by multi-remote controller, the following signal must be received.
lKey switch OFF (when ignition key is not in ignition key cylinder)
When the UNLOCK signal is input to multi-remote control unit (the antenna of the system is combined with
multi-remote control unit), ground is supplied
lthrough multi-remote control unit terminalV11
lto smart entrance control unit terminalV5and
lto door lock relay terminalV5.
Then smart entrance control unit operates to unlock doors (except for driver's door) and door lock relay is
energized to unlock driver's door.
HAZARD REMINDER
When the doors and locked or unlocked by multi-remote controller, ground is supplied
lto terminalV1of multi-remote control relay-1 and 2
lthrough multi-remote control unit terminalV12.
Then the relays are energized and hazard warning lamp flashes as follows
lLock operation: Flash once
lUnlock operation: Flash twice
MULTI-REMOTE CONTROLLER ID CODE ENTRY
A maximum of four remote controllers can be entered. Any attempt to enter a remote controller will erase
all ID codes previously entered. Therefore, be sure to receive all remote controllers from the vehicle owner
when any ID code entry is performed.
To enter ID code entry, the following signals must be input to the multi-remote control unit.
lDriver side LOCKED signal (from driver side door unlock sensor)
lDoor switch CLOSED signal
lKey switch signal (INSERTED/WITHDRAWN)
lAccessory power supply
lSignal from remote controller
For detailed procedure, refer to ``ID Code Entry Procedure'' in EL-2139.

V12.
The new ID of remote controller
cannot be entered.1. Remote controller battery
2. Key switch (insert)
3. Door switch
4. Driver's door unlock sensor
5. Accessory power supply circuit
for multi-remote control unit
6. Remote controller1. Check remote controller battery. Refer to EL-2136.
2. Check key switch (insert) signal at terminal
V7of
multi-remote control unit.
3. Check door switch signal at terminals
V1andV2of
multi-remote control unit.
4. Check driver's door unlock sensor signal at terminal
V6of multi-remote control unit.
5. Make sure battery voltage is present at terminal
V8
of multi-remote control unit while ignition switch is in
ACC position.
6. Replace remote controller. Refer to EL-2139.
Refer to ``MULTI-REMOTE CONTROL UNIT INSPECTION TABLE'' on next page to check the control unit
signals.
NOTE:
lAlways check remote controller battery before replacing remote controller.
lThe unlock operation of multi-remote control system does not activate with key inserted in the ignition
key cylinder.
lThe lock operation of multi-remote controller does not activate with the key inserted ignition key cylin-
der or if one of the door is opened.
