Communication Table
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
1. PUSH-BUTTON START DESCRIPTION
(a) The push-button start uses a push-type engine switch, which the driver can operate by merely carrying the key. This system consists primarily of the main body ECU, engine switch, ID code box (immobiliser code ECU), steering lock ECU, key, ACC relay, IG1 No. 3 relay, integration relay (IG2 relay) and certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly). The main body ECU controls the system. This function operates in cooperation with the smart access system with push-button start. The table below shows the transition of the engine switch, which depends on whether the brake pedal is depressed or released.
(b) This system has different power source mode patterns depending on the brake pedal and shift lever conditions.
When the battery of the key is low, the push-button start function can be operated by touching the key to the engine switch.
2. FUNCTION OF COMPONENT
3. SYSTEM FUNCTION
The electric controls of the push-button start function are described below:
4. CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION
(a) Engine switch:
The engine switch consists of a momentary type switch, 3 color (amber, green, greenish white) LEDs, and the transponder key amplifier.
The greenish white LED is for illumination.
The amber and green LEDs are for the indicator light. The driver can check the present power source mode and whether the engine can start or not in accordance with the illumination state of the indicator light.
When the main body ECU detects an abnormality in the smart access system with push-button start, it makes the amber indicator light flash. If the engine is stopped in this state, it might not be possible to restart it.
(b) Indicator light condition:
Engine Switch Indicator Light Condition
(c) Main body ECU:
The main body ECU consists of the IG1 No. 3 relay and ACC relay actuation circuits and CPU.
5. SYSTEM NOT OPERATING NORMALLY (DUE TO KEY BATTERY DEPLETION, ELECTRICAL NOISE, ETC.)
(a) To operate the push-button start function when the key battery is depleted or the transmitter is affected by wave noise, etc., touch the LEXUS mark of the key or card key to the engine switch while depressing the brake pedal with the shift lever in P.
(b) The main body ECU transmits a key verification request signal from the stop light switch to the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly).
(c) The certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) does not receive an ID code response from the door control receiver, so it activates the transponder key amplifier built into the engine switch.
(d) The transponder key amplifier outputs an engine immobiliser radio wave to the key.
(e) The key receives the radio wave, and returns a radio wave response to the transponder key amplifier.
(f) The transponder key amplifier combines the key ID codes with the radio wave response, and transmits it to the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly).
(g) The certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) judges and verifies the ID code, and transmits a key verification OK signal to the main body ECU. The buzzer in the combination meter sounds at the same time.
(h) After the buzzer sounds, with the shift lever in P, if the engine switch is pressed within 10 seconds with the brake pedal not depressed, the power source mode changes to on (ACC) or on (IG), as in the normal condition.
6. DIAGNOSIS
The main body ECU can detect malfunctions in the push-button start function when the power source mode is on (IG).
When the ECU detects a malfunction, the amber indicator light of the engine switch flashes to warn the driver. At the same time, the ECU stores the 5-digit DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) in memory.
* The indicator light warning continues for 15 seconds even after the power source mode is changed to off.
* The DTC can be output by connecting the Techstream to the DLC3.
* The push-button start function cannot be operated if a malfunction occurs.
