5
  • Measure the voltage at the keyless control module terminals 31, 3K and 3M while operating the request switch.
    • Operate passenger's side front door request switch (31): 5.0 V→1.0 V or less 
    • Operate driver's side front door request switch (3K): 5.0 V→1.0 V or less 
    • Operate trunk lid request switch (3M): 5.0 V→1.0 V or less 
  • Is the voltage as above?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Inspect and repair the applicable wiring harness as necessary, then go to Step 9.
6

    • If the harness is malfunctioning, repair the wiring harness.
  • Go to Step 9.
8
  • Measure the voltage at the keyless control module terminals 3Q while operating the request switch.
    • Unlock: 1.0 V or tess→B+→1.0 V or less 
  • Is the voltage as above?
Yes Inspect and repair the wiring harness between the door lock timer unit and the keyless control module, then go to the next step.
No Inspect the keyless control module. If the keyless control module is malfunctioning, replace the module. Then go to the next step.
9
  • Does the keyless entry system operate properly?
