When there is a short to GND in the power supply for the transponder key amplifier of the engine switch, the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) stores this DTC.
| DTC No. | Detection Item | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| B278A | Short to GND in Immobiliser System Power Source Circuit | Short to GND detected in the power supply of the transponder key amplifier of the engine switch (VC5 - VC5) (1 trip detection logic*). | ·

Certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) |
DTC Output Confirmation Operation:
With the shift state park (P) and the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly held near the engine switch, an engine start operation is performed by pressing and holding the engine switch when the transmitter battery is depleted. |
*: Only output while a malfunction is present.
| Vehicle Condition when Malfunction Detected | Fail-safe Operation when Malfunction Detected |
|---|---|
| Engine cannot be started when transmitter battery is depleted by holding electrical key transmitter sub-assembly near engine switch and pressing and holding engine switch with shift state park (P). | - |

When using the GTS with the engine 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 Model Code "KEY REGIST" under manual mode and enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Entry&Start. 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 entry and start system (for Start Function) uses the LIN communication system and CAN communication system. Inspect the communication function by following How to Proceed with Troubleshooting. Troubleshoot the entry and start system (for Start Function) after confirming that the communication systems are functioning properly.
Before replacing the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly), refer to the Service Bulletin.
After repair, confirm that no DTCs are output by performing "DTC Output Confirmation Operation".
Using an oscilloscope, check the waveform.
