When using the Techstream with the ignition switch off, connect the Techstream to the DLC3 and turn a courtesy light switch on and off at intervals of 1.5 seconds or less until communication between the Techstream and the vehicle begins. Then select the vehicle type under manual mode and enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Smart Key. While using the Techstream, periodically turn a courtesy light switch on and off at intervals of 1.5 seconds or less to maintain communication between the Techstream and the vehicle.
If the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly), ID code box (immobiliser code ECU) and steering lock ECU (steering lock actuator or upper bracket assembly) is replaced, refer to Registration.

PROCEDURE

1.	CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (CERTIFICATION ECU (SMART KEY ECU ASSEMBLY) - EACH ECU)

(a) Disconnect the F1 certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) connector.

(b) Disconnect the F78 steering lock ECU (steering lock actuator or upper bracket assembly) connector.

(d) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

NOTICE:

Make sure that each ECU is in sleep mode before performing the inspection. To enter sleep mode, turn the ignition switch from ON to off and wait for 180 seconds or more without operating any switches.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Switch Condition	Specified Condition
F1-13 (LIN) - F21-2 (LIN1)	Ignition switch off	Below 1 Ω
F1-13 (LIN) - F78-5 (LIN)	Ignition switch off	Below 1 Ω
F1-13 (LIN), F78-5 (LIN) or F21-2 (LIN1) - Body ground	Ignition switch off	10 kΩ or higher

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

2.	CHECK FOR DTC (STEERING LOCK ECU (STEERING LOCK ACTUATOR OR UPR BRACKET ASSEMBLY))

(a) Reconnect the F1 certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) connector.

(b) Reconnect the F21 ID code box (immobiliser code ECU) connector.
