Wireless Door Lock Control System (For Built-In Type Door Control Receiver) -- System Description |
WIRELESS DOOR CONTROL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION |
This system locks and unlocks the vehicle's doors remotely. The wireless control system has the following features:
- The door control receiver is built into the theft warning ECU. The ECU performs the code identification process and operates the door lock control. A serial data link is provided for communication in the ECU.
- A key-integrated type transmitter is used and it contains the following 3 switches: the door lock switch, door unlock switch and alarm switch.
- An LED is built into the transmitter so that the battery status can be checked.
- The door control receiver is built into the theft warning ECU. The ECU performs the code identification process and operates the door lock control. A serial data link is provided for communication in the ECU.

SYSTEM FUNCTION |
Door lock / unlock function:
- With no key in the ignition key cylinder (unlock warning switch is OFF) and all door courtesy light switches OFF, pressing the door control transmitter's LOCK / UNLOCK switch causes the transmitter to output faint electric waves. The transmitter will send a faint electrical wave to the theft warning ECU. The high frequency circuit built into the ECU demodulates the wave into code data, computes the data, and compares the data with previously registered ID codes. If the data is verified, a door lock / unlock request signal is output to the ECU. When the request signal is received, the junction block outputs a door lock / unlock control signal to each door lock. Each door lock then locks / unlocks its respective door and turns ON / OFF its door lock position switch according to the signal.

Answer-back function:
- The theft warning ECU receives the door unlock detection switch's ON / OFF signals and uses these signals to confirm if the door control operation has completed. The ECU then outputs the hazard warning light's output control signals to flash the hazard warning lights as an answer-back.
- HINT:
- The security horn applies only if the wireless answer-back function has been customized so that the hazard warning lights flash and the security horn sounds.

Alarm function:
- When the door control transmitter's ALARM switch is pressed, the theft warning ECU receives the code data (recognition codes and function codes) from the door control transmitter in the same way as when the LOCK / UNLOCK switch is pressed. Upon receiving a theft deterrent alarm control signal, the ECU sends a signal to sound the security horn, and transmits several kinds of warning control signals (hazard warning light control signal, vehicle horn warning control signal, and dome light control signal) in order to output a theft deterrent alarm.

The wireless door lock control system has the following functions.
Function Outline All door lock function Pressing LOCK switch locks all doors All door unlock operation (2 step unlock operation) function Pressing UNLOCK switch twice within 3 seconds unlocks all doors after driver side door is unlocked All door unlock function Pressing UNLOCK switch unlocks all doors Answer-back function* - Hazard warning lights flash once when doors are locked, and flash twice when doors are unlocked to indicate that operation has been completed
- Security horn sounds once when doors are locked, and sounds twice when doors are unlocked to indicate that operation has been completed
Remote alarm function Holding down ALARM switch sets off theft deterrent alarm, which consists of sounding vehicle horn and security horn, and flashing hazard warning lights and dome light Automatic locking function If no doors are opened within 30 seconds after they are unlocked by wireless transmitter, all doors will lock again automatically Door ajar warning function If any door is open or ajar, pressing LOCK switch will cause security horn to sound for about 1 second Security function Sends signal as rolling code Transmitter recognition code registration function Enables 4 modes for registering (writing and storing) transmitter recognition codes in EEPROM, which is built into door control receiver - HINT:
- *: The security horn applies only if the wireless answer-back function has been customized so that the hazard warning lights flash and the security horn sounds.
- Hazard warning lights flash once when doors are locked, and flash twice when doors are unlocked to indicate that operation has been completed
