Toyota Tacoma (2015-2018) Service Manual: Driver Side Door Entry Unlock Function does not Operate

Toyota Tacoma (2015-2018) Service Manual / Door Lock / Smart Key System(for Entry Function) / Driver Side Door Entry Unlock Function does not Operate

DESCRIPTION

If the entry unlock function does not operate for the driver door only, but the entry lock function operates, the request code is being transmitted properly from the driver door. In this case, there may be a problem related to the touch sensor (connection between the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) and front door outside handle assembly LH [unlock sensor]).

WIRING DIAGRAM

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

The smart key system (for Entry Function) uses a multiplex communication system (LIN communication system) and the CAN communication system. Inspect the communication function by following How to Proceed with Troubleshooting. Troubleshoot the smart key system (for Entry Function) after confirming that the communication systems are functioning properly (See page ).
When using the Techstream with the engine switch off, connect the Techstream to the DLC3 and turn a courtesy light switch on and off at intervals of 1.5 seconds or less until communication between the Techstream and the vehicle begins. Then select the vehicle type under manual mode and enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Smart Key. While using the Techstream, periodically turn a courtesy light switch on and off at intervals of 1.5 seconds or less to maintain communication between the Techstream and the vehicle.
Check that there are no electrical key transmitter sub-assemblies in the vehicle.
Before performing the inspection, check that DTC B1242 (wireless door lock control) is not output (See page ).
Before replacing the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly), refer to the smart key system (for Entry Function) precaution (See page ).
After repair, confirm that no DTCs are output by performing the "DTC Output Confirmation Operation".

PROCEDURE

1.	CHECK POWER DOOR LOCK CONTROL SYSTEM

(a) When the door control switch on the power window regulator master switch assembly is operated, check that the doors unlock and lock according to the switch operation (See page OK: ).

OK:

Door locks operate normally.

GO TO POWER DOOR LOCK CONTROL SYSTEM

2.	READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (FL DOOR LOCK POS)

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the engine switch on (IG).

(d) Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Main Body / Data List.

(e) Read the Data List according to the display on the Techstream.

REPLACE CERTIFICATION ECU (SMART KEY ECU ASSEMBLY)

4.	CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (CERTIFICATION ECU (SMART KEY ECU ASSEMBLY) - FRONT DOOR OUTSIDE HANDLE ASSEMBLY LH)

(a) Disconnect the C29 certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) connector.

(b) Disconnect the F40 front door outside handle assembly LH connector.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
C29-4 (CLG1) - F40-6 (ANT1)	Always	Below 1 Ω
C29-3 (CG1B) - F40-4 (ANT2)	Always	Below 1 Ω
C29-4 (CLG1) or F40-6 (ANT1) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher
C29-3 (CG1B) or F40-4 (ANT2) - Body ground	Always	10 kΩ or higher

(d) Reconnect the F40 front door outside handle assembly LH connector.

(e) Reconnect the C29 certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) connector.

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

5.	CHECK FRONT DOOR OUTSIDE HANDLE ASSEMBLY LH (INPUT TO DRIVER DOOR UNLOCK SENSOR)

(a) Using an oscilloscope, check the waveform.
