INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:

When replacing the transponder key ECU assembly or key, refer to the Service Bulletin.
After performing repairs, perform the operation that fulfills the DTC output confirmation operation, and then confirm that no DTCs are output again.

1.CLEAR DTC

Clear the DTCs (Click here).

NEXT

2.CHECK FOR DTC

Insert and remove each registered key one at a time, and check for DTCs each time (Click here).
HINT:
1. Before checking for DTCs, perform the "DTC Output Confirmation Operation" procedure.
2. If DTC B2796 is output, check for DTCs with the next key after clearing the DTCs.
OK:
DTC B2796 is not output.
