If the charge warning lamp ( ) on the instrument cluster comes on while driving, there is a
malfunction in the charge system including the battery. Therefore, carrying out the system check is
needed.
(4) Maintenance
Make sure that the battery cables are firmly connected.
If the terminals are corroded, clean them with a wire brush or sandpapers.
Always disconnect the battery cables with the ignition key removed. When disconnecting the
battery cables with the ignition key turned to ON or ACC position, several electric units can be
damaged due to sudden voltage change.
Check the battery for crack, damage or fluid leaks. Replace it if necessary.
Wipe out the battery fluid on the battery surface using a rubber glove and a clean cloth wetted
with soapy water. -

11) Door LOCK/UNLOCK Control
The door lock system outputs “LOCK” for 0.5 seconds (T1) when positioning the driver’s or
passenger’s door lock switch to lock position (while the driver’s and passenger’s door lock
switch is in “UNLOCK” position).
The door lock system outputs “UNLOCK” for 0.5 seconds (T2) when positioning the driver’s
or passenger’s door lock switch to unlock position.
LOCK” or “UNLOCK” by the door lock switch is ignored when outputting the “LOCK” or
“UNLOCK” by other functions.
The door lock/unlock system is not working regardless of the door lock switch positions when
connecting the battery.
All door lock signals are “UNLOCK” for 0.5 seconds (T4) just for once when receiving the
“LOCK” signal within 0.5 seconds (T3) after closing the driver’s or passenger’s door.
However, this operation is regardless of the ignition key positions. 1.

2. CAUTIONS
The vehicle owner must observe the service works when deleting the transponder codes or
registering additional keys.
In any cases, the immobilizer system can not be removed from the vehicle. If you attempt to
remove it and damage the system, starting will be impossible, so never attempt to remove,
damage or modify it.
The remote engine starter cannot be installed to the vehicle equipped with the immobilizer
system.
Do not drop or shock to the transponder in the ignition key as it may be damaged.
With a damaged transponder, the engine cannot be started.
For the vehicle with the immobilizer, there can be a problem in starting the vehicle or the system

3. VERIFICATION OF KEY
1) Verification
The immobilizer system prevents the vehicle theft by allowing only the authorized key to start the
engine. The transponder inside the key communicates with the immobilizer installed in the key box,
and the system permits the engine to start after confirming the encrypted coding from the engine ECU.
In the following cases, a driver may be unable to start the vehicle with the immobilizer.The immobilizer unit transmits
the encrypted code to the
transponder. (2)
The transponder sends an encrypted signal to the unit as a response.
The transmitted code is changed to an encrypted signal in the unit.
The system compares the signal from transponder and the encrypted signal in immobilizer unit. (3)
(4)
(5)
When two or more immobilizer keys come into contact with (each) other(s).
When the key is close to any device sending or receiving electromagnetic fields or waves.
When the key is close to any electronic or electric devices such as lightening equipment,
security keys or security cards.
When the key is close to a magnetic or metal object or a battery. -
