Toyota Tacoma 2015-2018 Service Manual: Open in Driver Side Electrical Antenna Circuit (B27A1)

Toyota Tacoma 2015-2018 Service Manual / Door Lock / Smart Key System(for Entry Function) / Open in Driver Side Electrical Antenna Circuit (B27A1)

DESCRIPTION

The certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) generates a request signal and transmits the signal to the front door outside handle assembly LH [electrical key antenna] at intervals of 0.25 seconds. For the front door outside handle assembly LH [electrical key antenna] to detect when the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is brought close to the vehicle, a signal requesting a response from the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is transmitted within approximately 1 m (3.28 ft.) of the driver door at intervals of 0.25 seconds. DTC B27A1 is stored by the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) when an open circuit is detected between the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) and front door outside handle assembly LH [electrical key antenna] (between terminals CLG1 and ANT1, or terminals CG1B and ANT2).

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

The smart key system (for Entry Function) uses the LIN communication system and 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 ).
The smart key system (for Entry Function) uses the LIN communication system and 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.
Before replacing the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly), refer to smart key system (for Entry Function) Precaution (See page ).
After repair, confirm that no DTCs are output by performing "DTC Output Confirmation Operation".

PROCEDURE

1.	CHECK CONNECTOR CONNECTION

(a) Turn the engine switch off.

(b) Check that the connectors are properly connected to the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) and front door outside handle assembly LH.

OK:

Connectors are properly connected.

CONNECT CONNECTORS PROPERLY

2.	CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (CERTIFICATION ECU (SMART KEY ECU ASSEMBLY) - FRONT DOOR OUTSIDEHANDLE 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
C29-11 (E) - Body ground	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

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

3.	CHECK CERTIFICATION ECU (SMART KEY ECU ASSEMBLY) (OUTPUT TO DRIVER SIDEELECTRICAL KEY ANTENNA)

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