Keyless Access System Status Log
If you suspect there is an immobilizer system problem, check the status log in the HDS.
1. Connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC) - Refer to: How to Troubleshoot the Fuel and Emissions Systems (L4), or How to Troubleshoot the Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT), or How to Troubleshoot the Brake Booster Pressure Monitoring System (With Auto Idle Stop System), or How to Troubleshoot the Fuel and Emissions Systems (V6, Without Auto Idle Stop System), or How to Troubleshoot the Fuel and Emissions Systems (V6, With Auto Idle Stop System) .
2. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.
3. On the HDS screen, at SYSTEM SELECTION MENU, enter ONE-PUSH START, then select KEYLESS ACCESS CONTROL UNIT or BACKUP CONTROL UNIT.
NOTE: If the HDS does not communicate, check the keyless access/TPMS control unit power, ground, K-line, and L-line connectors.
4. At KEYLESS ACCESS CONTROL UNIT, enter KEYLESS ACCESS SYSTEM INFORMATION, then select KEYLESS ACCESS STATUS LOG.
5. At BACKUP CONTROL UNIT, enter SYSTEM INFORMATION, then select STATUS LOG.
6. Check the STATUS LOG count. Troubleshoot the status with the highest count first. If no counts are listed, the immobilizer system is OK. Continue with normal symptom troubleshooting.
