To display a low battery voltage notification on the multi-information display in the combination meter assembly, it is necessary to set the display setting to ON in the digital key application customize settings.
If not displayed even when the display setting is set to ON, there may be a malfunction in the communication system between the combination meter assembly and certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly), the communication system between the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) and digital key ECU assembly, or the digital key.
Before performing troubleshooting of the vehicle, refer to Precautions for Inspection or Registration to check for a cause of the malfunction which is not related to vehicle settings or vehicle components.
Perform troubleshooting with the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly not inside the detection area of the smart entry and start system..
Make sure that no DTCs are output. If any DTCs are output, proceed to Diagnostic Trouble Code Chart.
If the digital key system has been disabled, enable the system before performing troubleshooting.
Before replacing the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) or digital key ECU assembly, refer to Service Bulletin.
It is possible to check the digital key low battery warning history by using the GTS and reading the Vehicle Control History (RoB): Warning Operation History / Digital Key Low Battery Warning
Use the GTS and set the Start Indicator Function to ON.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Start Indicator Function | Function that turns the entry warning light on the combination meter assembly on or off. | ON | $00:OFF,$01:ON | Certification ECU (Smart key ECU assembly) |
Turn the ignition switch off.
Check that when all of the following conditions are met, the entry warning light is displayed on the multi-information display in the combination meter assembly.

When the digital key battery voltage is low, start the hybrid control system.
Make sure there is no electronic device that outputs high-voltage or noise inside or around the vehicle.
Make sure that the digital key is not covered by or touching a metal object.
Discharge the battery of the digital key until the low battery voltage advice is displayed.
Check that the low battery voltage notification is displayed on the multi-information display in the combination meter assembly.
