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

| CONNECT CONNECTORS PROPERLY |
|
|
4.CHECK WHETHER ENGINE STARTS |
Check that the engine starts with an already registered vehicle key.
- OK:
- Engine starts normally.
Check for DTCs ().
- Before checking for DTCs, perform the "DTC Output Confirmation Operation" procedure.
- OK:
- DTC B2796 is not output.
