PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE
The suspected circuits or parts for each problem symptom are shown in the t\
able below. Use this table to
troubleshoot the problem when a Normal code is displayed in the diagnostic trouble c\
ode chart but the prob-
lem is still occurring. Numbers in the table indicate the order in which\
the circuits or parts should be checked.
HINT:
When the problem is not detected by the diagnostic system even though the pr\
oblem symptom is present,
it may be that the problem is occurring outside the detection range of t\
he diagnostic system.
Symptom Suspected AreaSee page

the engine±start.
(b) Check that the warning indicator in the combination meter assy illuminates for approximately 3 se-
conds at the engine±start and then goes off.
(c) Check that the reflector works when:
Keeping the rear of the vehicle up or down while the engine is running with the vehicle stopped and
the headlamp dimmer switch in the HEAD position.
NOTICE:
Make sure to change the vehicle's height slowly.

(d) Check the illumination function.
(1) Set the room light switch in the DOOR position.
(2) With all doors locked, check that all doors unlock when the driver side door lock cylinder is turned
to UNLOCK using the key and that the room right turns on.
(3) Check that the room light turns off in approx. 15 seconds after the doors have not been opened
for a while.
3. w/ Double lock:
CHECK DOUBLE LOCKING FUNCTION SYSTEM
(a) Check that the double locking system is set to ON.
(1) Open all the windows.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to LOCK and remove the key.
(3) Open and close the driver side door, and make sure that all doors including the back door are
closed securely.
(4) Push the LOCK switch on the wireless transmitter twice within 5 seconds, and check that the
hazard warning lights flash once at this time to show that the system is set.
(5) Try to unlock all doors using the inside handle of the vehicle, and check that none of the doors
unlock.
NOTICE:

The double locking system cannot be set to ON without using the wireless transmitter.

The double locking system operation is not related to the back door.
(b) Check that the double locking system is set to OFF.
(1) Push the UNLOCK switch on the wireless transmitter while the double locking system is ON, and
check that the hazard warning lights flash twice at this time to show that the system is set to OFF.
(2) Check that the doors can be opened both by the inside handle and the outside handle.
NOTICE:
If the battery of the wireless transmitter is dead, only the driver side door can be opened using the
key. However, the theft deterrent system still remains on. Therefore, be aware that the theft alarm
is set off when the door is opened without the use of the wireless transmitter.

ON±VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. OUTLINE OF THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM
(a) When the theft deterrent system detects that the vehicle is being tampered with, the system sets off
the alarm, causing the horns to sound and the lights to light up or blink in order to alert people around
the vehicle to the theft.
(b) The theft deterrent system has an active arming mode; a disarmed state, an arming preparation state,
an armed state and an alarm sounding state.
(1) Disarmed state:

The alarm function is not operating.

The theft deterrent system is not operating.
(2) Arming preparation state:

The time until the system goes into the armed state.

The theft deterrent system is not operating.
(3) Armed state:

The theft deterrent system is operating.
HINT:
If the vehicle remains in a condition that sets off the alarm (any door remains open, engine hood remains
open, ignition switch remains directly connected) after the alarm ends, the alarm will be set off repeatedly
a maximum of 10 times for every one of the above specified conditions.
Alarm time: Approx. 27.5 sec. x 10
(4) Alarm sounding state:
When the theft deterrent system detects that the vehicle is being tampered with while in the
armed state, the system causes the horns to sound and the lights to light up or blink in order to
alert people around the vehicle to the theft.
Refer to table below for alarm method and time:

Alarm TimeApprox. 27.5 sec. (Maximum 10 times)
HINT:
If any of the doors are unlocked with no key in the ignition key cylinder during the armed state, a forced door
lock signal will be output (See step 3).
