    Lexus Is250, Is220D. Gse20 Ale20.Door Lock.Power Door Lock Control System.Entry And Start System System Description

  2. Oscillator (each door oscillator, front and rear indoor oscillator, luggage compartment inner oscillator, luggage compartment outer oscillator)
    Each oscillator transmits the request signal received from the certification ECU, and forms an electrical key detection area to detect the presence of an electrical key. The detection area formed by each door oscillator and luggage compartment outer oscillator is approximately 0.7 to 1.0 m (2.3 to 3.3 ft.) from the outside handle of each door or the center of the rear bumper.

    1. The detection area of each door oscillator is formed by transmitting a request signal every 0.25 seconds while the engine switch is off and each door is locked. In this way, it detects the proximity of a electrical key. During entry lock, the detection area is formed with the lock switch ON.
    2. The detection area of the luggage compartment outer oscillator is formed when the power luggage door open switch is ON.
    3. The detection area of the indoor oscillator (front and rear) is formed when the driver door is opened or closed, during start ignition, when a warning is activated, or when the lock switch is ON.
    4. The detection area of the luggage compartment inner oscillator is formed when the luggage compartment door is closed or the luggage compartment open switch is pressed.

WIRELESS DOOR LOCK AND UNLOCK AND LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT OPEN FUNCTION
Push the LOCK / UNLOCK / LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT switch on the electrical key to operate each function. For details, (Click here).

ENTRY UNLOCK FUNCTION

  1. The detection area is formed by communication between a door oscillator and door control receiver when the door is locked in order to detect access of the person carrying the electrical key.

  2. When the person carrying the electrical key enters the detection area around the vehicle, the matching of the ID codes for a door oscillator and electrical key will automatically be performed. After the matching is completed, the door will enter unlock standby mode.

  3. In unlock standby mode, the antenna built into the outside handle starts sensing. If the outside handle is held (the back side of the handle is touched), the door unlock operation will be performed. At this time, the hazard warning light blinks twice and the wireless door lock buzzer sounds twice.

  4. If any of the doors are not opened after a door unlock operation, all doors will automatically lock after 30 seconds.


ENTRY LOCK FUNCTION

  1. After leaving the vehicle carrying the electrical key, push the lock switch on the outside handle when all the doors are closed.

  2. The certification ECU determines whether the electrical key is located inside or outside of the cabin based on the information from a door oscillator and room oscillator. Then matching of the ID codes is performed.

  3. When the matching result shows that the ID codes of the electrical key and indoor antenna do not match and the ID codes of the electrical key and door oscillator match, the door lock function will operate. At this time, the hazard warning lights blink once and the wireless door lock buzzer sounds once.

  4. If the electrical key is located inside of the cabin, the door lock function will not operate and the alarm buzzer (beep sound) will sound for 2 seconds.


ENTRY LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT OPEN FUNCTION
Stand in front of the luggage compartment with the electrical key and push the power luggage compartment opener switch to start the matching of the ID codes for the electrical key oscillator (outside luggage compartment). If the ID codes match, luggage compartment door open operation will be performed.

PREVENTION OF ELECTRICAL KEY CONFINEMENT FUNCTION

  1. If you attempt to lock the door through keyless operation (move the lock knob to the lock position and then close the door) with the electrical key in the cabin, the system determines that the electrical key is located in the cabin and unlocks the door.

  2. If the luggage compartment is closed with the electrical key in it, the alarm will sound and the luggage compartment can be opened only when all the doors are locked in order to prevent electrical key confinement in the vehicle.


ENTRY ILLUMINATION FUNCTION
When a person carrying the electrical key enters the detection area, the door will enter unlock standby mode and the front map light and door mirror foot light will illuminate.
HINT:
The entry illumination function operates when the electrical key enters the vehicle exterior detection area from out of the detection area. If the electrical key remains in the detection area for 3 seconds or more, the illumination function does not operate.

MEMORY CALL FUNCTION
When the engine switch is off and the driver door courtesy light is off, opening the door will operate the memory call function (the door will move to a previously recorded driving position). Using the electrical key, memory call, electrical key registration and electrical key cancellation can be performed.
