DTC B13C3:29 [ADVANCED KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM]



Description

Communication error between start stop unit and LF control unit

Detection condition

  • Start stop unit detects the communication error with the LF control unit 10 times.

Fail-safe function

  • Inhibits the door lock/unlock control using the advanced keyless entry system.

Possible cause

  • LF control unit connector or terminal malfunction

  • Start stop unit connector or terminal malfunction

  • Short to ground in wiring harness between start stop unit terminal 2F and LF control unit terminal M

  • Open circuit in wiring harness between start stop unit terminal 2F and LF control unit terminal M

  • LF control unit malfunction

  • Start stop unit malfunction


Diagnostic Procedure

Step

Inspection

Action

1

INSPECT LF CONTROL UNIT CONNECTOR
  • Switch the ignition off.

  • Disconnect the negative battery cable.

    (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION [SKYACTIV-G 2.5].)

  • Disconnect the LF control unit connector.

  • Inspect the connector engagement and connection condition and inspect the terminals for damage, deformation, corrosion, or disconnection.

  • Is the connector normal?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Repair or replace the connector, then go to Step 6.

2

INSPECT START STOP UNIT CONNECTOR
  • Disconnect the start stop unit connector.

  • Inspect the connector engagement and connection condition and inspect the terminals for damage, deformation, corrosion, or disconnection.

  • Is the connector normal?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Repair or replace the connector, then go to Step 6.

3

INSPECT FOR SHORT TO GROUND IN WIRING HARNESS BETWEEN START STOP UNIT AND LF CONTROL UNIT
  • Verify that the start stop unit and LF control unit connectors are disconnected.

  • Inspect for continuity between LF control unit terminal M (wiring harness-side) and body ground.

  • Is there continuity?

Yes

Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between start stop unit terminal 2F and LF control unit terminal M.

    If there is a common connector:
  • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a short to ground.

  • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

    If there is no common connector:
  • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has a short to ground.

Go to Step 6.

No

Go to the next step.

4

INSPECT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT IN WIRING HARNESS BETWEEN START STOP UNIT AND LF CONTROL UNIT
  • Verify that the start stop unit and LF control unit connectors are disconnected.

  • Inspect for continuity between start stop unit terminal 2F (wiring harness-side) and LF control unit terminal M (wiring harness-side).

  • Is there continuity?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between start stop unit terminal 2F and LF control unit terminal M.

    If there is a common connector:
  • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for an open circuit.

  • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

    If there is no common connector:
  • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has an open circuit.

Go to Step 6.

5

INSPECT LF CONTROL UNIT

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Replace the LF control unit, then go to the next step.

(See LF CONTROL UNIT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

6

VERIFY THAT REPAIRS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED

Yes

Repeat the inspection from Step 1.

Go to the next step.

No

Go to the next step.

7

VERIFY IF OTHER DTCs DISPLAYED
  • Are any other DTCs displayed?

Yes

Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the applicable DTC troubleshooting.

(See DTC TABLE [ADVANCED KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM].)

No

DTC troubleshooting completed.
