INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1 Delete DTC and insert all the presently available keys to check whether the en-
gine starts or not.
RESULT:
AAll keys start the engine.
BA specific key does not start the engine. In this case, DTC
(B 2796) is stored in memory.
CAll keys do not start the engine. In this case, DTC (B 2796)
is stored in memory.
A No problem at this time.
HINT:
If the result is ºAº, please confirm whether or not customers
have ever inserted the key (without transponder chip) of other
vehicle in the ignition key cylinder, and find out the cause of de-
tecting DTC.
B The transponder chip of a specific key is defec-
tive. Replace the key.
C
2 Check transponder key coil (See page BE-181).
NG Replace transponder key coil.
OK
3 Check harness and connector between transponder key amplifier and ECM.
NG Repair or replace harness and connector.
