Transponder Key Amp Error

Although an unregistered electrical key transmitter sub-assembly was held near the engine switch, key registration was suspended after one or more ID code had successfully been registered due to a malfunction of the immobiliser amplifier, such as a short to ground. The ECU code was registered successfully. DTC B278A was stored.

Registration Failed; Vehicle ID Error

Although an unregistered electrical key transmitter sub-assembly was held near the engine switch for registration, electrical key transmitter sub-assembly registration was suspended after one or more ID code had successfully been registered because time had expired due to the vehicle ID code sent by the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly not matching the code stored by the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly). The ECU code was registered successfully. A recognition code is used between the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly and the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly). Although the vehicle ID stored in the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) should be registered to the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly when the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly was registered, it was not. "Registration Failed; Vehicle ID Error" is displayed when trying to register an electrical key transmitter sub-assembly of another vehicle. If electrical key transmitter sub-assembly registration could not be completed successfully after trying to register another electrical key transmitter sub-assembly, the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) might be malfunctioning.
