Toyota Tacoma (2015-2018) Service Manual / Door Lock / Smart Key System(for Entry Function) / Entry Exterior Alarm and Answer-back Buzzer do not Sound

DESCRIPTION

The smart key system (for Entry Function) uses the wireless door lock buzzer to perform various vehicle exterior warnings. When the conditions of each warning are met, the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) sends a buzzer activation request signal to the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) via CAN communication and the buzzer sounds.

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) or main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU), refer to smart key system (for Entry Function) (See page ).
After repair, confirm that no DTCs are output by performing "DTC Output Confirmation Operation".
