REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM
Revision: August 20072004 QX56

keyless power window down (open)

auto door lock operation
OPERATING PROCEDURE

When the keyfob is operated, the signal from the keyfob is sent and the remote keyless entry receiver
receives the signal and sends it to the BCM. The BCM only locks/unlocks the doors if the ID number
matches (remote control entry functions).

Using the keyfob, the transmitter sends radio waves to the remote keyless entry receiver, which then
sends the received waves to the BCM. Only if the ID number matches does the BCM lock/unlock the
doors (remote control door function).

Unless the key is inserted into the ignition key cylinder or one of the doors is opened within 1 minute after
the UNLOCK switch on the keyfob is pressed, all the doors are automatically locked (auto lock function).

When a door is locked or unlocked, the vehicle turn signal lamps flash and the horn sounds to verify oper-
ation (active check function).

When the key is in the ignition key cylinder (when the key switch is ON) and one of the doors is open, the
door lock function does not work even when the door lock is operated with the keyfob.

Keyfob ID set up is available.

If a keyfob is lost, a new keyfob can be set up. A maximum of 5 IDs can be set up simultaneously.
Remote Control Entry Functions
Operation Description

When a button on the keyfob is operated, the signal is sent from the keyfob and received by the remote
keyless entry receiver.

The received signal is sent to the BCM and compared with the registered ID number.

If the ID number matches, the BCM sends the lock/unlock signal to each door lock actuator.

When the door lock actuators receive this signal, each operates to lock/unlock its door.

BCM locks all doors with input of LOCK signal from keyfob.

When an UNLOCK signal is sent from keyfob once, driver's door will be unlocked.

Then, if an UNLOCK signal is sent from keyfob again within 5 seconds, all other doors will be unlocked.
Remote control entry operation conditions
Auto Lock Function
Operation Description

Unless the key is inserted into the ignition key cylinder, one of the doors is opened, or the keyfob is oper-
ated within 1 minute after a door lock is unlocked by keyfob operation, all the doors are automatically
locked.
The 1 minute timer count is executed by the BCM and after 1 minute, the BCM sends the lock signal to all
doors.
Lock operations are the same as for the remote control entry function.
Remote Control Automatic Back Door Function
Switching from all closed to all open

When a button on the keyfob is operated, the signal is sent from the keyfob and received by the remote
keyless entry receiver.

The received signal is sent to the BCM and compared with the registered ID number.

If the ID number matches, the BCM uses power window serial link communication to send the back door
open signal to the back door control unit.

When the back door control unit receives the back door open signal for 0.5 seconds, if the remote control
automatic back door operation enable conditions are met, the warning chime is sounded and the back
door unlock signal is sent to the back door latch using communication.

Revision: August 20072004 QX56

When the back door latch receives the back door unlock signal, it operates the release actuator and
releases to back door latch.

The back door control unit operates the back door motor to open the back door. (At this time, speed con-
trol, input reverse, and overload reverse control are executed.)

When the back door is opened to the fully open position, the full-open position is detected with the rotation
sensor, the back door motor is stopped.

The door held by the back door stays at the full open position.
Full open → full closed operation

When a button of the keyfob is operated, the signal is sent from the keyfob and received by the remote
keyless entry receiver.

The received signal is sent to the BCM and compared with the registered ID number.

If the ID number matches, the BCM uses power window serial link communication to send the back door
close request signal to the back door control unit.

When the back door control unit receives the back door close request signal for 0.5 seconds, if the remote
control automatic back door operation enable conditions are met, the warning chime is sounded and the
back door motor begins closing the back door.

The back door control unit operates the magnetic clutch and the back door motor to close the back door.
(At this time, the back door control unit executes speed control, input reverse, and overload reverse con-
trol.)

When the back door comes to the half-latch state, the back door latch detects the half-latch state through
half-latch switch operation. The back door latch latches the back door.
For the automatic back door system operation enable conditions, refer to BL-101, "
AUTOMATIC BACK DOOR
SYSTEM" .
Active Check Function
Operation Description
When a door is locked or unlocked by keyfob operation, the vehicle turn signals flash and the horn sounds to
verify operation.

When a button on the keyfob is operated, the signal is sent from the remote controller and received by the
keyless remote entry receiver.

The received signal is sent to the BCM and compared with the registered ID number.

If the ID number matches, the BCM sends the turn signal flashing and horn signal to the IPDM E/R.

The IPDM E/R flashes the turn signal lamps and sounds the horn for each keyfob operation.
Operating function of hazard and horn reminder
Hazard and Horn Reminder

VEHICLE SECURITY (THEFT WARNING) SYSTEM
Revision: August 20072004 QX56
System DescriptionEIS002SE
DESCRIPTION
Operation Flow

Setting the vehicle security system
Initial condition

Ignition switch is in OFF position.
Disarmed phase

When the vehicle is being driven or when doors or glass hatch is open, the vehicle security system is set
in the disarmed phase on the assumption that the owner is inside or near the vehicle.
Pre-armed phase and armed phase

There are three conditions to enable the vehicle security system to turn into the "pre-armed" phase and
transition into armed phase. The initial requirements are that hood, glass hatch and all doors must be
closed (ignition key removed) for the transition to take place. Those three conditions are:
1. Locking vehicle with either front power door lock switch before exiting vehicle and closing all doors.
2. Using keyfob to lock already closed doors after leaving the vehicle.
3. Using driver key cylinder switch to lock already closed doors after leaving the vehicle.

Upon any of the above three steps taking place, the security indicator lamp illuminates for 30 seconds,
then the system automatically shifts into the "armed" phase.
Canceling the set vehicle security system
When one of the following operations is performed, the armed phase is canceled.
1. Unlock the doors with the key or the keyfob.
2. Open the power back door with the keyfob. When the power back door is closed after opening the power
back door with the keyfob, the system returns to the armed phase.
Activating the alarm operation of the vehicle security system
Make sure the system is in the armed phase.
When one of the following operations is performed, the system sounds the horns and flashes the headlamps
for about 50 seconds.
1. Engine hood, glass hatch or any door is opened before unlocking door with key or keyfob.
2. Door is unlocked without using key or keyfob.
3. Power back door is opened without using the keyfob.
POWER SUPPLY AND GROUND CIRCUIT
Power is supplied at all times

through 10A fuse [No.19, located in the fuse block (J/B)]

When the hood switch is ON (hood is open) ground is supplied

to IPDM E/R terminal 41

through hood switch terminal 2

through hood switch terminal 1

through grounds E9, E15 and E24.
VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM ALARM OPERATION
The vehicle security system is triggered by

opening a door

opening the hood

opening the glass hatch

unlocking door without using the key or keyfob.
The vehicle security system will be triggered once the system is in armed phase,

when BCM receives a ground signal at terminals 12, 13, 47, 48 (door switch), terminal 42 (glass hatch ajar
switch) or terminal 43 [back door latch (door ajar switch)], or IPDM E/R terminal 41 (hood switch) receives
a ground signal.
Power is supplied at all times

to horn relay terminal 2

through 15A fuse (No. 25, located in fuse and fusible link box).
When the vehicle security system is triggered, ground is supplied intermittently

from IPDM E/R terminal 45

to headlamp high relay and

to horn relay terminal 1.
The headlamps flash and the horn sounds intermittently.
The alarm automatically turns off after 50 seconds, but will reactivate if the vehicle is tampered with again.
VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM DEACTIVATION
To deactivate the vehicle security system, a door must be unlocked with the key or keyfob.
When the key is used to unlock the front door LH, BCM terminal 22 receives signal

from terminal 14 of the main power window and door lock/unlock switch.
When the BCM receives this signal or unlock signal from keyfob, the vehicle security system is deactivated.
(Disarmed phase)
PANIC ALARM OPERATION
Remote keyless entry system may or may not operate vehicle security system (horn and headlamps) as
required.
When the remote keyless entry system is triggered, ground is supplied intermittently

from IPDM E/R terminal 45

to headlamp high relay and

to horn relay terminal 1.
The headlamp flashes and the horn sounds intermittently.
The alarm automatically turns off after 25 seconds or when BCM receives any signal from keyfob.
