Check the wave reaching range with another
transmitter (normal). When the range is normal,
transmitter defection is detected, the range is
not normal, wireless door lock receiver defection
is defected.

INSPECTION
1. INSPECT WIRELESS DOOR LOCK TRANSMITTER
OPERATION
HINT:
Refer to ºWireless door lock control receiver and transmitter re-
placementº on page BE±87.
(a) Using a screwdriver, remove and cover.
(b) Remove the battery (lithium battery).
(c) Install a new or normal battery (lithium battery).
HINT:
When a new or normal battery can not be obtained, connect 2
new 1.5 V batteries in series, connect the battery (+) to the bat-
tery receptacle side terminal and battery (±) to the bottom termi-
nal, then apply 3 V voltage to the transmitter.
(d) In the location where is approx. 1 M away from driver's
outside handle in the right direction, and check the trans-
mitter operation when pressing transmission switch on
the surface of the transmitter body.
Standard:
Remote control of vehicle door lock can be operated.
HINT:
The minimum operation distance differs according to op-
erator, the way of holding, and location.
As weak wave is used, operation distance might be short-
ened when noise is detected in strong wave or used fre-
quency.
(e) Install the battery (lithium battery).
(f) Install a cover so that rubber cover is not distorted or
slipped off.

2. CHECK BATTERY CAPACITY
HINT:
Make sure to use the TOYOTA electrical tester.
With the battery unloaded, judge can not be made wheth-
er the battery is available or not on the test.
When the transmitter is faulty, the energy amount left in
the battery might not be checked correctly.
On the lithium battery used for the transmitter, the voltage
more than 2.5 V with the battery unloaded is shown on the
tester until the energy is completely consumed.
Accordingly when inspecting the energy amount left in the
battery, it is necessary to measure the voltage when the
battery is loaded. (1.2 kW).
(a) Remove the cover using a (±) driver.
(b) Remove the battery (lithium battery) from the transmitter.
(c) Connect the lead to the (±) terminal of the transmitter and
install the battery.
(d) Connect the (+) tester to the (+) battery (lithium battery),
and (±) tester to the lead respectively.
(e) Press one of the transmitting switches on the transmitter
for approx. 1 second.
(f) Press the transmitting switch on the transmitter again to
check the voltage.
Standard: 2.1 V or more

HINT:
When the temperature of the battery is low, the judge can
not be made correctly.
When the outcome of the test is less than 2.1 V, conduct
the test again after leaving the battery in the place at 18
°C for more than 30 minutes.
By auto power off function, the voltage becomes no load
voltage (more than 2.5 V) condition after 20 seconds from
the switch was pressed.
Make sure to read the voltage before of it.
High voltage might be shown 1 to 2 times after leaving the
battery, judge should be made with the voltage shown at
the 3rd time or later.
(g) Disconnect the lead.
(h) Set the battery (lithium battery) in the transmitter.
(i) Install the cover, so that the rubber cover is not distorted
or slipped off.

CEIVER CIRCUIT

REPLACEMENT
1. REPLACE TRANSMITTER (LITHIUM) BATTERY
NOTICE:
Special caution should be taken for handling each compo-
nent as they are precision electronic components.
(a) Using a screwdriver, remove the cover.
NOTICE:
Do not pry out the cover forcibly.
HINT:
Push the cover with a finger as shown in the illustration, so that
there becomes clearance, then pry out the cover from that
clearance.
(b) Remove the transmitter.
(c) Remove the battery (lithium battery).
NOTICE:
Do not push the terminals with a finger.
If prying up the battery (lithium battery) forcibly to re-
move, the terminals are deformed.
(d) Install a battery (lithium battery) as shown in the illustra-
tion.
NOTICE:
Face the battery upward. Take care not to deform the termi-
nals.
(e) Check that the rubber is not distorted or slipped off, and
install the cover.
