CLIMATE CONTROLLED SEAT CONTROL UNIT
Malfunction Malfunctioning condition
The temperature difference between the seatback ther-
mal electric unit and seat cushion thermal electric unit is
more than 30 °C  When it detects for 4 seconds that the temperature difference between
the seatback thermal electric unit and seat cushion thermal electric unit
is more than 30 °, it stops the output to the thermal electric unit, activates
the climate controlled seat blower motor at the maximum position, and
sends the external airflow for 30 seconds
 If the temperature difference is still more than 30 °C after 30 seconds
pass, it stops all output and enters the system OFF condition
 When the temperature difference between seatback thermal electric unit and seat cushion thermal electric unit becomes less than 20 °C, the sys-
tem recovers automatically
 If it detects that the temperature difference is more than 30 °C after the
automatic system recovery, it immediately stops all output and enters the
system OFF condition
NOTE:
When the switch operation is performed before entering the system OFF
condition, the fail-safe mode is reset.
The temperature of thermal electric unit is more than
11 0 °C in the HEAT mode (any thermal electric unit in the
seatback or seat cushion)  When it detects for 4 seconds that the temperature of the thermal electric
unit is more than 110 °C, it stops the output to the thermal electric unit,
activates the climate controlled seat blower motor at the maximum posi-
tion, and sends the external airflow for 30 seconds
 If the temperature does not become less than 105 °C after 30 seconds
pass, it stops all output and enters the system OFF condition
 When the temperature of the thermal electric unit becomes less than 105 °C, the system recovers automatically
 If it detects that the temperature of the thermal electric unit is more than
11 0 °C after the automatic system recovery, it immediately stops all out-
put and enters the system OFF condition
The temperature of the thermal electric unit is more than
45 °C in the COOL mode (any thermal electric unit in the
seatback or seat cushion)  When it detects for 4 seconds that the temperature of the thermal electric
unit is more than 45 °C and less than 70 °C, it starts the temperature mon-
itoring of the thermal electric unit at 3 second intervals for increase in
temperature from the previous value
 While monitoring, if it detects that the temperature continuously rises 2 °C
or more for 4 consecutive intervals or reaches 70 °C or more, it stops all
output and enters the system OFF condition
 If it detects other results of monitoring, it continues activating in the se-
lected COOL mode
Thermal electric unit sensor open circuit
(in either the back and the cushion TEU)  When it detects for 4 seconds that the thermal electric unit sensor is an
open circuit, it stops all output and enters the system OFF condition
Climate controlled seat blower motor system open circuit
(in either the back and the cushion blower)  When it detects for 2 seconds that climate controlled seat blower motor
is an open circuit while the climate controlled seat is being activated, and
the battery status has been stable for the same 2 second period, it stops
output to the thermal electric unit
 When it detects for 10 seconds that the climate controlled seat blower motor is an open circuit while the climate controlled seat is being activat-
ed, and the battery status has been stable for the same 10second period,
it stops all output and enters the system OFF condition
NOTE:
After detecting the climate seat blower motor system open circuit for 2
seconds, the system recovers automatically if the activation of the cli-
mate controlled seat blower motor is detected for 1 second or more.
Switch input out of the specified range
(either heat input or cool input)  When it detects for 4 seconds that the rotary switch input is less than
30% of the vehicle battery voltage, it stops all output and enters the sys-
tem OFF condition
 When the switch input returns to a value within the specified range, the
system recovers automatically

*: System voltage is the voltage between the climate controlled seat control unit power source and ground.
NOTE:
When the ignition status changes to OFF during the fail-safe mode, the control unit shall enter the OFF condition. If the ignit ion is turned
ON, the system shall return to the standby mode. If the system en ters in the fail-safe mode again after performing ignition cycle, start the
diagnosis. HEAT or COOL switch input out of the specified range
 During the standby mode, heating or cooling states, if the rotary switch
input is less than 6% of the vehicle battery voltage, it stops all output and
enters the system OFF condition
 When the switch input returns to a value within the specified range, the system recovers automatically
System voltage out of range  If the system voltage at the climate controlled seat control unit falls out-
side of the 8.5 to 16.5 V operating range, it stops all output after a 500ms
time period.
 When the system voltage returns to the normal operating range (10.5-
15.5V with a 500ms hysteresis), the system recovers automatically.

 Up to 4 Intelligent Keys can be registered (Includi ng the standard Intelligent Key) upon request from the cus-
tomer.
NOTE:
Refer to DLK-18, "
INTELLIGENT KEY SYSTEM : System Description" for any functions other than engine
start function of Intelligent Key system.
PRECAUTIONS FOR INTELLIGENT KEY SYSTEM
The transponder [the chip for IVIS (NATS) ID verification] is integrated into the Intelligent Key. (For the
conventional models, it is integrated into the mech anical key.) Therefore, ID verification cannot be per-
formed by mechanical key only.
In that case, the IVIS (NATS) ID verification can be performed when Intelligent Key backside is con-
tacted to push-button ignition switch. If verification result is OK, engine can be started.
OPERATION WHEN INTELLIGENT KEY IS CARRIED
1. When the push-button ignition switch is pressed, the BCM activates the inside key antenna and transmits
the request signal to the Intelligent Key.
2. The Intelligent Key receives the request signal and transmits the Intelligent Key ID signal to the BCM.
3. BCM receives the Intelligent Key ID signal via remote keyless entry receiver and verifies it with the regis-
tered ID.
4. BCM transmits the unlock signal to steering lock unit and IPDM E/R if the verification results are OK.
5. IPDM E/R turns the steering lock relay ON and supplies power supply to the steering lock unit.
6. The steering lock releases.
7. BCM transmits the power supply stop signal to IPDM E/R when detecting that the steering lock is in the
unlock condition.
8. IPDM E/R turns the steering lock relay OFF and stops power supply to the steering lock unit.
9. BCM turns ACC relay ON and transmits the ignition power supply ON signal to IPDM E/R.
10. IPDM E/R turns the ignition relay ON and starts the ignition power supply.
11. BCM detects that the selector lever position and brake pedal operating condition.
12. BCM transmits the starter request signal to IPDM E/R and turns the starter relay in IPDM E/R ON if BCM
judges that the engine start condition* is satisfied.
13. IPDM E/R turns the starter control relay ON when receiving the starter request signal.
14. Power supply is supplied through the starter relay and the starter control relay to operate the starter motor. CAUTION:
If a malfunction is detected in the Intelligent Key system, the “KEY” warning lamp in the combina-
tion meter illuminates. At that time, the engine cannot be started.
15. When BCM receives feedback signal from ECM indicati ng that the engine is started, the BCM transmits a
stop signal to IPDM E/R and stops cranking by turning OFF the starter motor relay. (If engine start is
unsuccessful, cranking stops automatically within 5 seconds.)
CAUTION:
When the Intelligent Key is carried outside of th e vehicle (inside key antenna detection area) while
the power supply is in the ACC or ON position, even if the engine start condition* is satisfied, the
engine cannot be started.
*: For the engine start condition, refer to “POWER SUPPLY POSITION CHANGE TABLE BY PUSH-BUTTON
IGNITION SWITCH OPERATION”.
OPERATION RANGE
Engine can be started when Intelligent Key is inside the vehicle. However, sometimes engine may not start
when Intelligent Key is on instrument panel or in glove box.
ENGINE START OPERATION WHEN INTELLIGENT KEY IS CONTACTED TO PUSH-BUTTON IG-
NITION SWITCH
When Intelligent Key battery is discharged, the IVIS (NATS) ID verification between transponder in Intelligent
Key and BCM is performed when Intelligent Key backside is contacted to push-button ignition switch. If the
verification result is OK, engine can be started.
STEERING LOCK OPERATION
Steering is locked by steering lock unit when any of the following conditions are met.
