INTELLIGENT KEY SYSTEM
System Description
INFOID:0000000001703999
• The Intelligent Key system is a system that makes it possible to lock and unlock the door locks (door lock/
unlock function), and start the engine (engine start function) by carrying around the Intelligent Key (without
some key operation), which operates based on the results of electronic ID verification using two-way com-
munications between the Intelligent Key and the vehicle (Intelligent Key unit).
• Vehicles equipped with a manual transmission include a key interlock solenoid located in the steering col-
umn to prevent accidental shut-off of the ignition switch and locking of the steering wheel during driving con-
dition when the vehicle is moving.
CAUTION:
The driver should always carry the Intelligent Key
• Operation of the remote controller buttons on the Intelligent Key also provides the same functions as the
remote control entry system. (Remote keyless entry functions)
• If an action that does not meet the operating conditions of the Intelligent Key system is taken, the buzzer
goes off to inform the driver. (Warning chime functions)
• When a door lock is locked or unlocked with request switch or remote controller button operation, the hazard
lamps flash and the buzzer (outside vehicle) sounds (Hazard and buzzer reminder function).
• Even if the Intelligent Key battery is completely discharged, the door locks can be locked and unlocked and
the engine started with the mechanical key built into the Intelligent Key.
• The settings for each function can be changed with the CONSULT-III.
• If an Intelligent Key is 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 and register an Intelligent Key with the CONSULT-III.
DOOR LOCK/UNLOCK FUNCTION
Only when pressing the request switch, it is possible to lock and unlock the door by carrying around the Intelli-
gent Key (without some key operation).
System Diagram
Operation Description
• When the Intelligent Key unit detects that each request switch is pressed, it starts the outside key antenna
and inside key antenna corresponding to the pressed request switch and sends the request signal to the
Intelligent Key. And then, make sure that the Intelligent Key is near door.
• If the Intelligent Key is within the outside key antenna detection area, it receives the request signal and
sends the key ID signal to the Intelligent Key unit.
• Intelligent Key unit receives the key ID signal and compares it with the registered key ID.
• If the key ID check result is OK, the Intelligent Key unit sends the door lock/unlock request signal to BCM
(Body control module) via CAN communication line.
• Intelligent Key unit sends the door lock/unlock signal and sounds Intelligent Key warning buzzer (lock: 2
times, unlock: 1 time) at the same time.
• When BCM receives the door lock/unlock signal, it operates door lock actuator and flashes the hazard warn-
ing lamp (lock: 2 times, unlock: 1 time) at the same time as reminder.
Operation Condition
If the following conditions are not satisfied, door lock/unlock operations are not performed even if the request
switch is operated.
