KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM

GENERAL INFORMATION

M1428000100315

Some models are equipped with a keyless entry sys-

tem. The main features are:

• The antenna is incorporated in the keyless entry

receiver-ECU.

• ID code can be registered by using the scan tool

MB991958 (MUT-III sub assembly).

• Transmitter is a key holder type, which incorpo-

rates lock switch, unlock switch, and panic

switch.

• The locking is answered back by two times' flash-

ing of the doom light, two times' flashing of the

turn signal lights and one time sounding of the

horn answerback.

• The unlocking is answered back by illuminating of

the doom light for 15 seconds and one time flash-

ing of the turn signal lights.

KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS

INTRODUCTION TO KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS

M1428002600037

A signal is transmitted from the transmitter to the
keyless entry receiver-ECU. If the signal corre-
sponds with that stored in the keyless entry
receiver-ECU, the ECU send a signal to the
ETACS-ECU. Then the door lock/unlock control is
operated. When doors are locked, the dome light, the
cargo space light and hazard warning lights will flash
twice when doors are unlock, the dome light, the
cargo space light will come on and dim after 15 sec-
onds, and the hazard warning lights flash once.

If the following type of symptom occurs, there may
be a fault.

• All the doors cannot be locked or unlocked when

the transmitter is operated.

• The secret code cannot de registered.

• The dome light, the cargo space light and the

hazard warning lights do not operate through the
answerback function.

KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLESHOOTING STRATEGY

M1428001500037

you follow them carefully, you will be sure that you
have exhausted most of the possible ways to find a
keyless entry system fault.
