Toyota Tacoma (2015-2018) Service Manual: Security Indicator Light Does not Blink

Toyota Tacoma (2015-2018) Service Manual / Engine Immobiliser / Engine Immobiliser System(w/ Smart Key System) / Security Indicator Light Does not Blink

DESCRIPTION

The certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) blinks the security indicator light when the immobiliser is set (engine switch off, or driver door is opened and closed with engine switch on (IG)).
The certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) receive the security indicator light signal from the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) via CAN communication when the theft deterrent system is arming preparation state or alarm sounding state. Then, certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) blinks the security indicator light.

WIRING DIAGRAM

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

Before replacing the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly), refer to the Registration (See page ).
The engine immobiliser system (w/ Smart Key System) uses the CAN communication system. Inspect the communication function by following How to Proceed with Troubleshooting (See page ). Troubleshoot the engine immobiliser system (w/ Smart Key System) after confirming that the communication systems are functioning properly.

PROCEDURE

1.	PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (SECURITY INDICATOR LIGHT)

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

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

(d) Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Smart Key / Active Test.

(e) Perform the Active Test according to the display on the Techstream.

REPLACE CERTIFICATION ECU (SMART KEY ECU ASSEMBLY)

REPLACE MAIN BODY ECU (MULTIPLEX NETWORK BODY ECU)

3.	CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (SECURITY INDICATOR LIGHT (AIR CONDITIONING CONTROL ASSEMBLY) - CERTIFICATION ECU (SMART KEY ECU ASSEMBLY))

(a) Disconnect the A33 security indicator light (air conditioning control assembly) connector.

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

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
A33-6 (LP) - C29-19 (IND)*1	Always	Below 1 Ω
A33-6 (LP) or C29-19 (IND) - Body ground*1	Always	10 kΩ or higher
A33-1 (GND) - Body ground*1	Always	Below 1 Ω
A33-12 (LP) - C29-19 (IND)*2	Always	Below 1 Ω
A33-12 (LP) or C29-19 (IND) - Body ground*2	Always	10 kΩ or higher

*1: for Automatic Air Conditioning System
*2: for Manual Air Conditioning System

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

4.	CHECK CERTIFICATION ECU (SMART KEY ECU ASSEMBLY)

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

(b) Measure the voltage and check the pulse according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Voltage:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
A33-6 (LP) - A33-1 (GND)*1	Engine switch off → engine switch on (IG)	Pulse generation → Below 2 V
A33-12 (LP) - A33-1 (GND)*2	Engine switch off → engine switch on (IG)	Pulse generation → Below 2 V
