Toyota Venza: Operation Check

OPERATION CHECK

1. SMART KEY SYSTEM OPERATION INSPECTION

(a) Check the entry unlock function.

(1) Use the wireless lock operation to lock the doors. With the key outside the vehicle, touch a front door outside handle assembly (touch sensor) and check that the door unlocks.

(b) Check the entry unlock operation detection area.

(1) Step 1: Hold the key at the same height as the door outside handle assembly (approximately 0.8 m (2.62 ft.)). Make sure that the direction of the key is as shown in the illustration.

(2) Step 2: Check that when the key is brought within 0.7 to 1.0 m (2.30 to 3.28 ft.) of the vehicle, the system enters unlock standby mode.

HINT:

When the system enters unlock standby mode, the key LED illuminates.

(3) Step 3: After the system enters unlock standby mode, touch the door outside handle assembly (touch sensor) within 3 seconds. Check that the door unlocks.

NOTICE:

The key may not be able to communicate with the system within a 0.2 m (0.656 ft.) radius of each door outside handle assembly.

(4) Step 4: Repeat step 2 and 3 for the remaining front door.

(5) Step 5: Inspect the door outside handle assembly (touch sensor) response sensitivity. When the system is in unlock standby mode, check that touching the area shown in the illustration causes the door to unlock.

NOTICE:

When touching the highlighted area, touching too quickly or having extended contact may not trigger the sensor. In such a case, the door will not unlock.

(6) Step 6: Repeat step 5 for the remaining front door.

(c) Check the entry lock function.

NOTICE:

If the key is in the cabin, but is not in a detection area (on the instrument panel, rear tray, in the glove box, or on the floor), the key confinement function may not operate. This can result in the key confinement.

(1) Step 1: Confirm that all the doors lock when a lock sensor on a front door outside handle is touched with all the doors closed and unlocked while the key is outside of the vehicle.

(2) Step 2: Inspect the smart door lock detection area. Hold the key 0.1 m (0.328 ft.) below the window (about 1m (3.28 ft.) above the ground). Move the key about 0.3 m (0.984 ft.) away from the vehicle and touch the lock sensor as shown in the illustration to check that the all doors lock.

(d) Check the entry back door open function.

(1) Close the back door. With the key outside the vehicle, check that pushing the back door opener switch assembly opens the back door.

(2) Inspect the entry back door open operation detection area. Hold the key at the same height as the back door opener switch assembly (approximately 0.8 m (2.62 ft.)) aligning it with the center of the rear of the vehicle. Make sure that the direction of the key is as shown in the illustration. Check that when the key is brought within 0.7 to 1.0 m (2.30 to 3.28 ft.) of the vehicle, pushing the back door opener switch assembly opens the back door.

(e) Check the entry back door lock function.

(1) Close all of the vehicle doors. With the key in your possession outside of the vehicle, check that pushing the back door opener switch assembly (lock switch) locks all the doors.

(f) Check the entry ignition function.

(1) While holding the key, confirm that the engine switch indicator light illuminates green when the engine switch is off, the shift lever is in P and the brake pedal is depressed. With the engine switch indicator illuminates green, confirm that the engine starts when the engine switch is pressed.

(2) While holding the key, confirm that the engine switch turns off → on (ACC) → on (IG) → off every time the engine switch is pressed when the brake pedal is not depressed.

HINT:

When the engine switch is pressed with the engine switch on (IG) and the shift lever is in any position except P, the engine switch will not turn off but remain on (ACC).

(3) With the engine running, vehicle stopped and shift lever in P, confirm that pressing the engine switch turns the engine off, and that the steering lock engages after opening the driver door.

HINT:

When the engine switch is pressed with the engine switch on (IG) and the shift lever in any position except P, the engine switch will not turn off but remain on (ACC).

(4) Inspect the detection area for the entry ignition function (for front floor). Make sure that the direction of the key is as shown in the illustration. When the key is in either of the 2 inspection points shown in the illustration, check that the engine can start.

NOTICE:

The engine may not start when the key is on the instrument panel, rear package tray or in the glove box.

(5) Inspect the detection area for the entry ignition function (for center floor). Make sure that the direction of the key is as shown in the illustration. When the key is in either of the 2 inspection points shown in the illustration, check that the engine can start.

NOTICE:

The engine may not start when the key is on the instrument panel, rear package tray or in the glove box.

(6) Inspect the detection area for the entry ignition function (for rear floor). Make sure that the direction of the key is as shown in the illustration. When the key is in either of the 2 inspection points shown in the illustration, check that the engine can start.

NOTICE:

The engine may not start when the key is on the instrument panel, rear package tray or in the glove box.

(g) Check the key confinement prevention function (in cabin)

NOTICE:

Perform this check with a window open to prevent key confinement.

(1) Turn the engine switch off.

(2) Put the key on a front seat or a rear seat.

(3) Close all the doors (all doors are in unlocked state).

(4) Confirm that the door lock does not operate but the wireless door lock buzzer sounds for 10 seconds when a front door lock sensor is touched.

(h) Check the key cancel function.

(1) While the engine switch is on (IG), check that the back door opener switch assembly (opener switch) is the only switch that can be operated in the smart key system.

(2) While the key cancel function (smart key system cancel function) is on, check that all functions of the smart key system cannot be operated.

(i) Check the answer-back function (hazard warning light flashing and buzzer sounding).

(j) Check that the key reminder warning buzzer sounds.
