DTC Output Confirmation Operation:
Turn the ignition switch to ON and wait 6 seconds. |
| Vehicle Condition when Malfunction Detected | Fail-safe Operation when Malfunction Detected |
|---|---|
| Engine cannot be started (initial ignition occurs and engine cranks, then ignition stops) | Engine cannot be started |
| DTC No. | Data List and Active Test |
|---|---|
| B279A12 | - |
Before replacing the transponder key ECU assembly or ECM, refer to the Service Bulletin.
After repair, confirm that no DTCs are output by performing "DTC Output Confirmation Operation".
Turn the ignition switch off.
Check that the connectors are properly connected to the ECM and transponder key ECU assembly.
