9. INSPECT BRAKE WARNING SYSTEM LIGHT
(a) Disconnect the connector from the brake fluid warning
switch.
(b) Connect terminals of the wire harness side of the level
warning switch connector.
(c) Start the engine, check that the warning light lights up.
If the warning light does not light up, test the bulb or wire har-
ness.
10. INSPECT BRAKE FLUID LEVEL WARNING SWITCH
CONTINUITY
(a) Remove the reservoir tank cap and strainer.
(b) Disconnect the connector.
(c) Check that no continuity exists between terminals with the
switch OFF (float up).
(d) Use syphon, etc. to take fluid out of the reservoir tank.
(e) Check that continuity exists between terminals with the
switch ON (float down).
(f) Pour the fluid back in the reservoir tank.
If operation is not as specified, replace the switch.
11. INSPECT PARKING BRAKE WARNING LIGHT
(a) Disconnect the connector from the parking brake switch.
(b) Ground terminal of the wire harness side connector.
(c) Start the engine, check that the warning light lights up.
If the warning light does not light up, test the bulb or inspect wire
harness.
12. INSPECT PARKING BRAKE SWITCH CONTINUITY
(a) Check that continuity exists between terminal and switch
body with the switch ON (switch pin released).
(b) Check that no continuity exists between terminal and
switch body with the switch OFF (switch pin pushed in).
If operation is not as specified, replace the switch or inspect
ground point.

HYBRID VEHICLE IMMOBILISER SYSTEM
REGISTRATION PROCEDURE
1. THE COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE HYBRID VEHICLE CONTROL ECU AND THE TRANS-
PONDER KEY ECU IS AS FOLLOWS
(a) When the ignition is turned ON, the transponder key ECU checks if the key is pre±registered or not
and sends the check result to the hybrid vehicle control ECU.
(b) When the hybrid vehicle control ECU confirms that the key is pre±registered, it transmits its own ID
(random numbers) to the transponder key ECU.
(c) Receiving the ID, the transponder key ECU calculates internally and sends the calculated result back
to the hybrid vehicle control ECU.
(d) The hybrid vehicle control ECU rechecks the calculation inside the ECU.
When the calculation result corresponds to its own ID, this enables the engine to start.
2. PREASE DO THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES WHEN YOU EXCHANGE TRANSPONDER KEY
ECU
HINT:
When replacing the transponder key ECU or hybrid vehicle control ECU, start the engine after leaving it for
more than 30 minutes with the ignition switch ON position.
(a) (Case 1):
Replace the transponder key ECU. "Register the new transponder key codes. "Leave more than
30 minutes with the ignition switch ON. "Start the engine.
(b) (Case 2):
Replace the hybrid vehicle control ECU. "Leave more than 30 minutes with the ignition switch ON.
"Start the engine.
(c) (Case 3):
Replace the transponder key ECU and hybrid vehicle control ECU. "Register the new transponder
key codes. "Start the engine.
3. IF ALL KEYS ARE LOST, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING
(a) Purchase a new transponder key ECU and a new key.
(b) Replace the transponder key ECU with new one.
(c) Insert a new key into the key cylinder, turn the ignition switch ON and leave it as it is for 30 min.
4. SETTING HYBRID VEHICLE IMMOBILISER SYSTEM
(a) Removing a key from the key cylinder sets hybrid vehicle immobiliser system.
(b) When 20 sec is elapsed after the key is turned from ignition switch ON to ACC or LOCK, the hybrid
vehicle immobiliser is set.
5. UNSETTING HYBRID VEHICLE IMMOBILISER SYSTEM
Insert a key into the key cylinder
(Under this condition, transponder key ECU starts communication with the transponder chip built in the key.
When the ID code in the chip coincides with that registered in ECU consecutively 2 times, the hybrid vehicle
immobiliser system is reset).
