INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1.READ DATA LIST USING HAND-HELD TESTER
a. Connect the hand-held tester to the CAN VIM. Then connect the CAN VIM to the DLC3.
b. Turn the ignition switch ON with the key that cannot start the engine.
c. Read the DATA LIST.
Steering lock ECU:

OK: "UNSET" (Ignition switch ON) appears on the screen.
NG: Go to step 2
OK: REPLACE STEERING LOCK ECU
2.CHECK WHETHER ENGINE STARTS WITH OTHER KEYS
a. Check if the en
gine starts with the vehicle's other keys.

3.CHECK WIRE HARNESS (STEERING LOCK ECU - TRANSPONDER KEY AMPLIFIER)
a. Disconnect the S46 ECU connector.
b. Disconnect the T8 amplifier connector.
c. Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.
Standard:

NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR
OK: Go to next step
4.REPLACE TRANSPONDER KEY AMPLIFIER
a. After replacing the transponder key amplifier with a normally functioning amplifier, check that the
engine starts.
OK: Engine starts.
NG: REPLACE STEERING LOCK ECU
OK: END
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
This DTC is output when a communication error occurs between the transponder key amplifier and steering
lock ECU. Some possible reasons for the communication error are: 1) 2 or more smart keys are positioned too
close together, or 2) noise is occurring in the communication line. Follow the inspection procedure below.

5.CHECK OPERATION OF TRANSPONDER KEY AMPLIFIER
a. After replacing the transponder key amplifier with a normally functioning amplifier, check that the
engine starts.
OK: Engine starts.
NG: REPLACE STEERING LOCK ECU
OK: END
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
This DTC is output when: 1) the ECM detects errors in its own communications with the steering lock ECU; 2)
the ECM detects errors in the communication lines; and 3) the ECU communication ID between the steering
lock ECU and the ECM are different and an engine start is attempted.
Before troubleshooting for this DTC, make sure no steering lock ECU DTCs are present. If the steering lock
ECU has a key code related DTC, repair it first.

1.ENGINE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The engine immobilizer system is designed to prevent the vehicle from being stolen. This system uses a
transponder key ECU that stores the key codes of authorized ignition keys. If an attempt is made to start
the engine using an unauthorized key, the ECU sends a signal to the ECM to prohibit fuel delivery and
ignition, effectively disabling the engine.
2.FUNCTION OF MAIN COMPONENT
COMPONENT FUNCTION TABLE
3.SYSTEM FUNCTION
When the transponder key ECU detects that the unlock warning switch is ON, the ECU provides current
to the transponder ke
y coil and produces a faint electric wave. A transponder chip in the key grip and
ComponentOutline
Transponder key
coil/amplifierWhen key is inserted in ignition key cylinder, key coil receives key's code. Then
amplifier amplifies ID code and outputs it to transponder key ECU.
Unlock warning
switchDetects if key is in ignition key cylinder and outputs results to transponder key
ECU.
ECM
Through SFI communication, ECM receives ID verification results from
transponder key ECU. ECM also verifies ECUs. Then judgement of whether or not
to immobilize engine is made.
Security indicatorDepending on operation of theft warning ECU (theft deterrent ECU), interior
security indicator lamp illuminates or starts blinking.
