NOTE:

If a key fob is lost, the ID code of the lost key fob must be erased to prevent unauthorized use. A specific
ID code can be erased with CONSULT-II. However, when the ID code of a lost key fob is not known, all
controller ID codes should be erased. After all ID codes are erased, the ID codes of all remaining and/or
new key fobs must be re-registered.
To erase all ID codes in memory, register one ID code (key fob) five times. After all ID codes are erased,
the ID codes of all remaining and/or new key fobs must be re-registered.

When registering an additional key fob, the existing ID codes in memory may or may not be erased. If five
ID codes are stored in memory, when an additional code is registered, only the oldest code is erased. If
less than five ID codes are stored in memory, when an additional ID code is registered, the new ID code is
added and no ID codes are erased.

If you need to activate more than two additional new key fobs, repeat the procedure “Additional ID code
entry” for each new key fob.

Entry of maximum five ID codes is allowed. When more than five ID codes are entered, the oldest ID code
will be erased.

Even if same ID code that is already in the memory is input, the same ID code can be entered. The code
is counted as an additional code.

Revision: 2005 July 2005 FXSystem DescriptionAIS004MW

The Intelligent Key system is a system which can lock and unlock the doors (door lock function) and start
the engine (engine start function) by carrying around the Intelligent Key, which operates based on the
results of electrical key-ID verification using two-way communications between the Intelligent Key and the
vehicle

Operation of the remote control buttons on the Intelligent Key also provides the same functions as the
remote control entry system. (Remote control entry functions)

As an ignition key warning function, when a door is locked or unlocked with entry switch or remote control-
ler button operation, the hazard lamps flash and the Intelligent Key warning buzzer sounds.

Even if the vehicle or Intelligent Key battery runs down, the door can be locked and unlocked and the
engine started with the mechanical key built into the Intelligent Key.

If an Intelligent Key was lost, a new Intelligent Key can be registered. A maximum of 4 Intelligent Keys can
be registered.

It has been made possible to diagnose the system, change the function setting and register an Intelligent
Key with the CONSULT-II.
DOOR LOCK FUNCTION
Operation Description

When the driver door, passenger door, or back door request switch is pressed, Intelligent Key unit sends a
request signal from the transmission antenna corresponding to the pressed door request switch, key-ID
verification is performed using two-way communication with Intelligent Key, and if ID is successfully veri-
fied, a door lock/unlock request signal is sent to BCM (Body Control Module) using CAN communication
to lock/unlock the door lock.

When door is locking, door is unlocked, when door is unlocking, door is locked.

When door is locked/unlocked by door request switch operation, hazard lamps flash and Intelligent Key
warning buzzer sounds.

With the locking operation of door request switch, door lock actuators of all door are locked.

When ignition switch ON or any door is opened, key reminder function is not operate.
Intelligent Key Lock-in Prevention Function
When doors are locked using door lock and unlock switch or driver door lock knob while Intelligent key is in
vehicle and doors open, Intelligent Key unit sends door unlock request signal to BCM via CAN communication
to unlock all doors to prevent Intelligent Key from becoming locked in vehicle.
CAUTION:
The above function operates when the Intelligent Key is inside the vehicle. However, there are cases
that Intelligent Key cannot be detected and this function will not operate when Intelligent Key is on the
instrument panel, rear parcel shelf, or in the glove box. Also, this system sometimes does not operate
if the Intelligent Key is in the door pocket for the open door.
REMOTE CONTROL ENTRY FUNCTIONS

accepted, a door lock or door unlock request signal is sent to BCM via CAN communication to lock/unlock
the door.

When door lock/unlock is performed using Intelligent Key remote controller button operation, operation
confirmation is conducted by making hazard lamps flash and Intelligent Key warning buzzer sound.
OPERATION CONDITION
Door lock/unlock operation is necessary for all doors close.
Map Lamp And Keyhole Illumination Function
When the following conditions come:

condition of map lamp switch is DOOR position;

door switch OFF (when all the doors are closed);
Remote control button of Intelligent Key turns on interior lamp (for 30 seconds) with input of UNLOCK signal
from Intelligent Key.
Panic Alarm Function
When key switch is OFF and ignition knob is not pushed (when mechanical key is not inserted in ignition
knob), BCM turns ON and OFF horn and headlamp intermittently with input of PANIC ALARM signal from
Intelligent Key. The alarm automatically turns off after 25 seconds or when Intelligent Key unit receives any
signal from Intelligent Key.
Panic alarm operation mode can be changed using “WORK SUPPORT” mode in “PANIC ALARM DELAY”.
Refer to BL-120, "
WORK SUPPORT" .

Operation Description

When ignition knob is pressed, Intelligent Key unit sends request signal from inside key antenna, key-ID
verification is conducted with Intelligent Key using two-way communication, and if verification is success-
ful, an ignition rotation prohibition latch release signal is sent to steering lock unit. Steering lock unit
releases ignition knob rotation prohibition latch. (Ignition knob can now be turned.)

When it becomes possible to rotate the ignition knob, “KEY” warning lamp in combination meter lights up
green to notify driver that ignition knob can be turned.
NOTE:
When it becomes impossible to rotate the ignition knob, “KEY” warning lamp in combination meter lights
up red.

When key-ID verification is successful and ignition knob switch is in the ON state, Intelligent Key unit uses
CAN communication to send engine start permission signal to BCM.

When BCM receives engine start permission signal, it uses CAN communication to sent starter request
signal to IPDM E/R so that the engine will start when ignition knob is rotated to START position.
Operation Range
Engine can be started when Intelligent Key is in the vehicle. However, sometimes engine might not start when
Intelligent Key is on instrument panel, rear parcel shelf, or in glove box.
