599

1997 LEXUS ES300 (RM511U)

HINT: The rolling code is the code changing at each time when the wave is transmitted from the transmitter
and is changing synchronized between transmitter side and ECU side.
When the rolling code is not synchronized between the transmitter and ECU, a symptom of ”Only LOCK op-
eration is available.”appears.
In this case, it goes back to normal by synchronizing the rolling code.
(The method to synchronize it is the same as of the registration of the recognition code.)

TRANSMITTER INSPECTION

1

Check the transmitter operation.

HINT:
This inspection is not directly for the purpose of checking the ca-
pacity of the transmitter battery, but is performed when remote
control operation becomes difficult or impossible, in order to as-
certain if this is caused by low battery capacity.
PREPARATION:
(a)

Using a screwdriver, pry outward the cover.

(b)

Remove the battery.

CHECK:
(a)

Connect 4 new 1.5 V dry–cell batteries in series. Connect
the battery

terminal to the battery receptacle side ter-

minal and the battery

terminal to the bottom terminal

to provide 6 V to the transmitter.

(b)

Push the wireless door lock remote control switch on the
side of the transmitter body and operate the door lock by
remote control.

OK:

Remote control operation possible.

OK

Replace the battery for transmitter
(See page

DI–443

).

NG

Replace transmitter and registration of rec-
ognition code (See page
