Toyota 4Runner: Front Passenger Side Door Entry Unlock Function does not Operate

Toyota 4Runner Service Manual / Vehicle Interior / Theft Deterrent / Keyless Entry / Smart Key System(for Entry Function) / Front Passenger Side Door Entry Unlock Function does not Operate

DESCRIPTION

If the front passenger side door entry unlock function does not operate but the entry lock function operates, the communication line between the vehicle and electrical key transmitter is normal. The part at fault may be an unlock sensor circuit (front door outside handle assembly [for front passenger side] → certification ECU).

WIRING DIAGRAM

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

The smart key system (for Entry Function) uses a multiplex communication system (LIN communication system) and the CAN communication system. Inspect the communication function by following How to Proceed with Troubleshooting (See page ). Troubleshoot the smart key
system (for Entry Function) after confirming that the communication systems are functioning properly.
When using the Techstream with the engine switch off to troubleshoot: Connect the Techstream to the DLC3 and turn a courtesy light switch on and off at 1.5-second intervals until communication between the Techstream and vehicle begins.
Check that there are no electrical key transmitters in the vehicle.
Before performing the inspection, check that DTC B1242 (wireless door lock control) is not output (See page ).
When checking the entry lock operation multiple times, the lock operation may be limited to 2 consecutive operations depending on the settings. In order to perform the entry lock operation 3 or more times, an unlock operation must be performed once (any type of unlock operation is sufficient). However, only consecutive entry lock operations are limited. Using the wireless lock or other types of lock operations, it is possible to perform consecutive lock operations without this limitation.
Before replacing the certification ECU, refer to the engine immobiliser system (w/ Smart Key System) (See page
).
