Toyota Corolla Cross: Driver Side Door Entry Lock and Unlock Functions do not Operate

Toyota Corolla Cross (2022-2024) Service Manual / Vehicle Interior / Theft Deterrent / Keyless Entry / Smart Key System (for Entry Function, Gasoline Model) / Driver Side Door Entry Lock and Unlock Functions do not Operate

DESCRIPTION

If the entry lock and unlock functions do not operate for the driver door only, the request code may not be being transmitted from the driver door or the front door outside handle assembly LH (touch sensor) may be malfunctioning. If the entry functions for other doors operate properly, communication between the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly and electrical key and tire pressure warning ECU and receiver is normal. In this case, there may be a problem with request code transmission (communication between the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) and front door outside handle assembly LH (electrical key antenna)), or there may be wave interference.

WIRING DIAGRAM

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

When using the GTS with the ignition switch off, connect the GTS to the DLC3 and turn a courtesy light switch on and off at intervals of 1.5 seconds or less until communication between the GTS and the vehicle begins. Then select the vehicle type under manual mode and enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Smart Key. While using the GTS, periodically turn a courtesy light switch on and off at intervals of 1.5 seconds or less to maintain communication between the GTS and the vehicle.
The smart key system (for Entry Function) uses the CAN communication system. Inspect the communication function by following How to Proceed with Troubleshooting. Troubleshoot the smart key system (for Entry Function) after confirming that the communication systems are functioning properly.

Check that there are no electrical key transmitter sub-assemblies in the vehicle.
After repair, confirm that no DTCs are output.

HINT:

If the driver door entry lock and unlock functions do not operate, the cause of the malfunction may be stored in the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly).
If the cause of the malfunction is stored in the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly), the following table is helpful in checking whether the malfunction was caused by wave interference.

PROCEDURE

1.	CHECK POWER DOOR LOCK CONTROL SYSTEM

(a) When the door control switch on the multiplex network master switch assembly is operated, check that the doors unlock and lock according to the switch operation.

Click here

OK:

Door locks operate normally.

GO TO POWER DOOR LOCK CONTROL SYSTEM

2.	CHECK ENTRY OPERATION

(a) Check the operation of the entry lock and unlock functions.

(1) Check the entry unlock function.

Turn the ignition switch off.
Open and close the driver door.
With the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly outside of the vehicle, press the lock switch of the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly to lock all of the doors.
Hold the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly at the same height as the door outside handle assembly and approximately 0.3 m (0.984 ft.) from the driver door.
Check that the LED of the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly blinks.
Touch the unlock sensor on the backside of the front door outside handle assembly LH for 2 seconds or more.*

*: Perform this step 3 seconds or more after performing step (3).

HINT:

When checking the operation of the unlock sensor again, make sure to perform the procedure from step (1).

*a	Unlock Sensor (Backside)

(2) Check the entry lock function.

Turn the ignition switch off.
Open and close the driver door.
Hold the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly at the same height as the door outside handle assembly and approximately 0.3 m (0.984 ft.) from the driver door.
Touch the lock sensor of the front door outside handle assembly (groove on the front door outside handle) with 2 or more fingers for 2 seconds or more.
HINT:
- If the door does not lock even when touching the lock sensor for 2 seconds or more, touch it with your palm.
- When checking the operation of the lock sensor again, make sure to perform the procedure from step (1).
- When checking the operation of the entry lock function several times, it can be operated up to 2 times consecutively. To operate the function 3 times or more consecutively, the doors need to be unlocked once. However, this is only for the entry lock function, other door lock operations, such as a wireless door lock operation can be performed consecutively.

3.	CHECK WAVE ENVIRONMENT

(a) Bring the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly approximately 0.3 m (0.984 ft.) from the front door outside handle assembly LH and perform an entry function check.

Click here

HINT:

Communication may not be possible if the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is within 0.2 m (0.656 ft.) of the front door outside handle assembly LH.
When the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is brought near the front door outside handle assembly LH, the possibility of wave interference decreases, and it can be determined if wave interference is causing the problem symptom.
If the inspection result is that the problem only occurs in certain locations or at certain times of day, the possibility of wave interference is high. Also, added vehicle components may cause wave interference. If installed, remove them and perform the operation check.
There may be wave interference if the vehicle is near broadcasting antennas, large video displays, wireless garage door opener systems, wireless security cameras, home security systems, etc. In this case, move the vehicle to a different location and check if there is any improvement.
If a tool for checking radio waves, such as a signal strength meter, is available, move around the area while observing both the LF band (used by the vehicle antenna to form the detection area) and RF band (used by the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly for transmission) to check for locations where there is wave interference.
When checking the operation of the entry lock function several times, it can be operated up to 2 times consecutively. To operate the function 3 times or more consecutively, the doors need to be unlocked once. However, this is only for the entry lock function, other door lock operations, such as a wireless door lock operation can be performed consecutively.

(b) With the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly outside of the vehicle, press the lock switch of the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly to lock all of the doors.

(c) Hold the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly at the same height as the door outside handle assembly and approximately 0.3 m (0.984 ft.) from the driver door.

(d) Check that the LED of the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly blinks.

(e) Read the Data List according to the display on the GTS.

(f) Touch the unlock sensor on the backside of the front door outside handle assembly LH for 2 seconds or more.*

*: Perform this step 3 seconds or more after performing step (b).

HINT:

When checking the operation of the unlock sensor again, make sure to perform the procedure from step (a).

Body Electrical > Smart Key > Utility

Tester Display
Communication Check(Key Diag Mode)

(b) Select either channel 1 or channel 2 and perform key diagnostic mode inspection for each channel.

(1) Check the electrical key antenna LH:

When the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is brought within 0.7 to 1 m (2.30 to 3.28 ft.) of the front door outside handle assembly LH, check that the wireless buzzer sounds.

HINT:

Select either channel 1 or channel 2 and perform the key diagnostic mode inspection for each channel.
If the buzzer sounds with [CH1] displayed but not with [CH2], the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly cannot be detected by channel 2 due to a malfunction, such as wave interference.
