the communication circuit is normal.

DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION

ETACS-ECU sets the diagnosis code No. B1A24
when the key ID was not registered in it.

JUDGMENT CRITERIA

ETACS-ECU determines that the abnormality is
present, if the ignition key's key ID is not registered in
ETACS-ECU when the ignition switch is turned ON.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Malfunction of CAN bus line

• Key ID not registered

• Malfunction of ETACS-ECU
