WIRING DIAGRAM
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
NOTICE:
- If the transponder key ECU assembly or ECM is replaced, refer to Registration
(See page
). - After repair, confirm that no DTCs are output by performing "DTC Output Confirmation Operation".
PROCEDURE
|
1. |
CLEAR DTC |
(a) Clear the DTCs (See page
).
|
|
2. |
CHECK DTC OUTPUT |
(a) Perform "DTC Output Confirmation Operation" procedure.
(b) Check for DTCs (See page
).
|
Result |
Proceed to |
|---|---|
|
DTC B279A (for 2TR-FE) or B279A12 (for 2GR-FKS) is output |
A |
|
DTC B279A (for 2TR-FE) or B279A12 (for 2GR-FKS) is not output |
B |
| B | |
USE SIMULATION METHOD TO CHECK |
|
|
3. |
CHECK CONNECTION OF CONNECTOR |
(a) Check that the connectors are properly connected to the ECM and transponder key ECU assembly.
OK:
Connectors are properly connected.
| NG | |
CONNECT CONNECTORS PROPERLY |
|
|
4. |
CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (TRANSPONDER KEY ECU ASSEMBLY - ECM) |
(a) Disconnect the T10 transponder key ECU assembly connector.
(b) Disconnect the E14*1 or E20*2 ECM connector.
- *1: for 2GR-FKS
- *2: for 2TR-FE
(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
