- CHECK CERTIFICATION ECU (SMART KEY ECU ASSEMBLY)
- Disconnect the N8 electrical key and tire pressure monitoring system receiver assembly connector.
- Measure the voltage and resistance and check for pulses according to the value(s) in the table below.
*a Component with harness connected
(Certification ECU (Smart Key ECU Assembly))- - Standard Voltage
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition N9-19 (RDAM) - G47-18 (E) Power switch off 11 to 14 V N9-18 (RCO) - G47-18 (E) Always Below 1 V → 4.5 to 5.5 V pulse generation at regular intervals Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition G47-18 (E) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω Result
Proceed to OK NG
Result:
OK
REPLACE ELECTRICAL KEY AND TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM RECEIVER ASSEMBLY. Refer to REMOVAL [06/2018 - 08/2021] , or refer to REMOVAL [08/2021 - 09/2022] , or refer to REMOVAL [09/2022 - ]
Result:
NG
See step 2
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ELECTRICAL KEY AND TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM RECEIVER ASSEMBLY - CERTIFICATION ECU (SMART KEY ECU ASSEMBLY))
- Disconnect the N9 certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition N9-19 (RDAM) - N8-2 (DATA) Always Below 1 Ω N9-18 (RCO) - N8-8 (+5) Always Below 1 Ω N8-12 (GND) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω N9-19 (RDAM) or N8-2 (DATA) - Other terminals and body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher N9-18 (RCO) or N8-8 (+5) - Other terminals and body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher Result
Proceed to OK NG
Result:
OK
REPLACE CERTIFICATION ECU (SMART KEY ECU ASSEMBLY). Refer to REMOVAL [06/2018 - 08/2021] , or refer to REMOVAL [08/2021 - 09/2022] , or refer to REMOVAL [09/2022 - ]
Result:
