REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
Removal
1. Disconnect the battery negative terminal.
2. Remove engine under cover and fender protector (LH). Refer to EI-23, "
Removal and Installation".
3. Drain the A/T fluid. Refer to AT- 1 5
.
4. Remove oil pan and oil pan gasket.
5. Check for foreign materials in oil pan to help determine cause of
malfunction. If the ATF is very dark, smell burned or contains for-
eign particles, friction material (clutches, band) may need
replacement. A tacky film that will not wipe clean indicates var-
nish build up. Varnish can cause valves, servo, and clutches to
stick and can inhibit pump pressure.
•If ATF contains frictional material (clutch, bands, etc.),
replace radiator and flush cooler line using cleaning sol-
vent and compressed air after repair of A/T. Refer to CO-
11.
6. Remove magnets from oil pan.

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.
LIIA2926E

< SERVICE INFORMATION >
INTELLIGENT KEY SYSTEM
BCM sends headlamp request signal and horn signal to IPDM E/R. Then, IPDM E/R turns on and off head-
lamp and horn intermittently.
The headlamp flashes and the horn sounds intermittently.
The alarm automatically turns off:
• After 25 seconds
• When Intelligent Key unit receives any signal from remote controller of Intelligent Key
• When door request switch is pressed (Intelligent Key is outside vehicle)
Panic alarm function's press and holding time value can be changed in “PANIC ALARM DELAY” mode in
“WORK SUPPORT”. Refer to BL-101, "
CONSULT-III Application Item".
List of Operation Related Parts
Parts marked with × are the parts related to operation.
ENGINE START FUNCTION
When the registered Intelligent Key is carried, the engine can be started without inserting the key.
When ignition knob switch is ON (press ignition switch), Intelligent Key unit searches Intelligent Key in the
vehicle using inside key antenna.
Then Intelligent Key is inside the vehicle, it performs the following operation.
• Illuminate green “KEY” warning lamp in combination meter.
• Released steering lock and ignition switch can be turned from OFF to ACC, ON or START position.
NOTE:
If Intelligent Key is not registered, “KEY” warning lamp in combination meter illuminates red.
• Intelligent Key sends engine start signal to BCM via CAN communication line.

• NATS trouble diagnoses, system initialization and additional registration of other NATS mechanical key IDs
must be carried out using CONSULT-III hardware and CONSULT-III NATS software. When NATS initializa-
tion has been completed, the ID of the inserted mechanical key can be displayed.
Regarding the procedures of NATS initialization and mechanical key ID registration, refer to CONSULT-III
operation manual NATS.
SECURITY INDICATOR
• Forewarns that the vehicle is equipped with NATS.
• Security indicator will not blink while the ignition knob is in ON or START state.
NOTE:
Because security indicator is highly efficient, the battery is barely affected.
Condition of Security Indicator
• When operating the ignition switch with Intelligent Key, security indicator lamp will turn off at once if ignition
switch is pressed and blinks when ignition switch is released.
• When operating the ignition switch with mechanical key security indicator will turn off at once if mechanical
key is inserted into key cylinder and blinks when mechanical key is removed.
(Once the mechanical key is inserted into key cylinder, BCM will only perform the key ID verification with
mechanical key)
System CompositionINFOID:0000000001704105
The function of the NATS consists of the following:
• Mechanical key
• NATS antenna amp. located in the ignition key cylinder
•BCM
• ECM (Engine control module)
• Security indicator
• Intelligent Key unit (if equipped)
NOTE:
The communication between ECM, BCM and/or Intelligent Key unit uses the CAN communication sys-
tem.
ECM Re-communicating FunctionINFOID:0000000001704106
Performing the following procedure can automatically perform re-communication of ECM and BCM or Intelli-
gent Key unit, but only when the ECM has been replaced with a new one which has never been energized on-
board.
(In this step, initialization procedure by CONSULT-III is not necessary)
NOTE:
•When registering new Key IDs or replacing the ECM other than brand new, refer to CONSULT-III
Operation Manual NATS.
