KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM
BODY42-68
If none of the doors is opened or the ignition key
is not inserted in the ignition switch within 30 sec-
onds after the doors are unlocked using the
transmitter, the ETACS-ECU will relock the doors
automatically. This is called "Timer lock function."
This timer lock function prevents accidental
unlocking of doors. The adjustment function
allows you to change the timer lock period from 30 seconds (default setting) to 60, 120 or 180
seconds. For further details on using the
multi-center display (middle grade type) to adjust
the timer lock period, refer to GROUP 54B,
On-vehicle Service P.54B-486.
NOTE: The timer lock period begins when the doors
are unlocked, and ends when the doors is relocked
automatically.

KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM INSPECTIONBGBHCDAE
Check the following items. If defective, refer to GROUP 54B,
SWS Diagnosis P.54B-10).
1. Operate the transmitter to check that the doors can be
locked and unlocked.
NOTE: The adjustment function allows you to change the
unlock operation setting as follows. Prior to that check, con-
firm which setting is activated.
.
a. When the unlock button is pressed once, the driver's
door will be unlocked. Then when the button is pressed
once again, all the doors will be opened (initial setting).
b. When the unlock button is pressed only once, all the
doors will be opened.
2. Press the trunk lid button of transmitter twice (press once,
and then press again within 5 seconds) and confirm that the
trunk lid opens.
3. Operate the transmitter to check that the answerback
function works in response to doors locking/unlocking.

ENABLING/DISABLING THE ANSWERBACK
FUNCTION
BGBDGCGD
When the doors are locked or unlocked by using the transmit-
ter, the dome light will flash/illuminate, the turn-signal lights will
flash (hazard answerback), or the horn will sound (horn
answerback) to inform the driver.
The hazard answerback and horn answerback functions can be
enabled or disabled according to the following procedure:

How to adjust hazard answerback when the trans-
mitter is used to lock doors
1. Remove the ignition key.
2. Push the ”unlock” button and then push the ”lock“ button
within 4 seconds to 10 seconds.
3. Release the ”lock” button within 10 seconds after Step 2 and
then release the “unlock” button. The ETACS-ECU tone
alarm will sound, indicating that the hazard answerback
function can be enabled or disabled when the doors are
locked.
Enable the hazard answerback function when the
doors are locked: The ETACS-ECU tone alarm will
sound once.
Disable the hazard answerback function when the
doors are locked: The ETACS-ECU tone alarm will
sound twice.

BRAKE PEDAL FREE PLAY
1. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position, and
depress the brake pedal two or three times. After eliminating
the vacuum in the brake booster, press the pedal down by
hand, and confirm that the amount of movement before
resistance is met (free play) is within the standard value
range.
Standard value: 3
8 mm (0.12 0.31 inch)
2. If the brake pedal play is not within the standard value,
check the following, and adjust or replace if necessary:
Excessive play between the brake pedal and the clevis pin,
or between the clevis pin and the brake booster operating
rod
Brake pedal height
Installation position of the stop light switch, etc.
CLEARANCE BETWEEN BRAKE PEDAL AND
DASH PANEL
1. Turn up the carpet, etc. under the brake pedal.
2. Start the engine, depress the brake pedal with
approximately 500 N (112 pounds) of force, and measure
the clearance between the brake pedal and the dash panel.
Standard value: 110 mm (4.33 inches) or more [From
the surface of dash panel to the face of pedal pad]
3. If the clearance is outside the standard value, check for air
trapped in the brake line and check the thickness of the disc
brake pad. Andjust and replace defective parts as required.
4. Return the carpet etc. to its original position.
BRAKE BOOSTER OPERATING TESTM1351001000372
1. For simple checking of the brake booster operation, carry
out the following tests:
(1) Run the engine for one or two minutes, and then stop it. If
the pedal depresses fully the first time but gradually
becomes higher when depressed succeeding times, the
booster is operating properly. If the pedal height remains
unchanged, the booster is defective. Go to step 2.
ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
BASIC BRAKE SYSTEM35A-15
(2) With the engine stopped, step on the brake pedal several
times. Then step on the brake pedal and start the engine.
If the pedal moves downward slightly, the booster is in
good condition. If there is no change, the booster is
defective. Go to step 3.
(3) With the engine running, step on the brake pedal and
then stop the engine. Hold the pedal depressed for 30
seconds. If the pedal height does not change, the booster
is in good condition, if the pedal rises, the booster is
defective.
2. If the above three tests are okay, the booster is OK. If one of
the above three tests is not okay, the check valve, vacuum
hose, or booster is defective. Check the check valve (Refer
to P.35A-15), vacuum hose for leaks, high volume engine
vacuum applied to booster. Repair or replace as necessary.
If these are OK, replace booster and repeat this test starting
at Step 1.
CHECK VALVE OPERATION CHECKM1351009000376
The check valve should not be removed from the vacuum
hose.
1. Remove the vacuum hose. (Refer to P.35A-26).
If the check valve is defective, replace it as an assembly
together with the vacuum hose.
2. Check the operation of the check valve by using a vacuum
pump.

BRAKE DISC THICKNESS CHECK
1. Using a micrometer, measure disc thickness at eight
positions, approximately 45 degrees apart and 10 mm (0.4
inch) in from the outer edge of the disc.
FRONT BRAKE DISC
Standard value: 26.0 mm (1.02 inches)
Minimum limit: 24.4 mm (0.96 inch)
REAR BRAKE DISC
Standard value: 10.0 mm (0.39 inch)
Minimum limit: 8.4 mm (0.33 inch)
NOTE: Thickness variation (at least 8 positions) should not
be more than 0.015 mm (0.0006 inch). INSPECTION ITEM REMARK
Scratches, rust, saturated lining materials and wear
If the vehicle is not driven for a long period of
time, sections of the discs that are not in contact
with the pads will become rusty, causing noise
and shuddering.
If grooves and scratches resulting from excessive
disc wear are not removed prior to installing a new
pad assembly, there will be inadequate contact
between the disc and the lining (pad) until the
pads conform to the disc.
Run-out Excessive run-out of the discs will increase the pedal
depression resistance due to piston kick-back.
Change in thickness (parallelism) If the thickness of the disc changes, this will cause
pedal pulsation, shuddering and surging.
Inset or warping (flatness) Overheating and improper handling while servicing
will cause warping or distortion.
