The engine start function, door lock function, power di stribution system and NATS-IVIS/NVIS in the Intelligent
Key system are closely related to each other regarding control. Narrow down the functional area in question
by performing basic inspection to i dentify which function is malfunctioning. The vehicle security function can
operate only when the door lock and power distribution system are operating normally. Therefore, it is easy to
identify any factor unique to the vehicle security system by performing the vehicle security operation check
after basic inspection.
1.CHECK DOOR LOCK OPERATION
Check the door lock for normal operation with the Intelligent Key controller and door request switch.
Successful door lock operation with the Intelligent Key and request SW indicates that the remote keyless entry
receiver and inside key antenna required for engine start are functioning normally.
Identify the malfunctioning point by referring to the DLK section if the door cannot be unlocked.
Can the door be locked with the Intelligent Key and door request switch?
YES >> GO TO 2.
NO >> Refer to DLK-210, "
Symptom Table".
2.CHECK ENGINE STARTING
Check that the engine starts when operating the Intelligent Key.
Does the engine start?
YES >> GO TO 3.
NO >> Refer to SEC-115, "
Symptom Table".
3.CHECK STEERING LOCKING
Does the steering lock when operating door switch after switching the power supply from ON position (or ACC
position) to LOCK position?
If door switch is malfunctioning, BC M cannot lock the steering. If BCM does not detect DTC, steering lock unit
is normal.
Does steering lock?
YES >> GO TO 4.
NO >> Refer to DLK-71, "
ComponentFunctionCheck".
4.CHECK IGNITION KNOB SWITCH OPERATION
Press ignition knob to check switch operation.
Does the combination meter display any message?
YES >> GO TO 5.
NO >> Refer to SEC-53, "
Ignition Knob Switch Check".
5.CHECK VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM
Check the vehicle security system for normal operation.
The vehicle security function can operate only when t he door lock and power distribution functions are operat-
ing normally.
Therefore, it is easy to identify any factor unique to the vehicle security by performing the vehicle security
operation check after this basic inspection.
>> Go to SEC-7, "
Vehicle Security Operation Check".

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
• The engine start function of Intelligent Key system is a system that makes it possible to start and stop the
engine without using the key. It verifies the electroni c ID using two-way communications when pressing the
ignition knob switch while carrying the Intelligent Key, which operates based on the results of electronic ID
verification for Intelligent Key using two-way communications between the Intelligent Key and the vehicle.
NOTE:
The driver should carry the Intelligent Key at all times.

• Intelligent Key has 2 IDs (for Intelligent Key and for NATS). It can perform the door lock/unlock operation and
the engine start operation when the registered Intelligent Key is carried.
• When the Intelligent Key battery is discharged, it can be used as emergency back-up by inserting the
mechanical key set in the Intelligent Key to the ignition key cylinder. At that time, perform the NATS ID verifi-
cation. If it is used when the Intelligent Key is carried, perform the Intelligent Key ID verification.
• If the ID is successfully verified, and when the igniti on knob switch is pressed, steering lock will be released
and initiating the engine will be possible.
• The door lock/unlock operation can be performed when t he Intelligent Key battery is discharged, by operat-
ing the driver door key cylinder using the mechanical key set in the Intelligent Key.
• Up to 4 Intelligent Keys can be registered (including the standard Intelligent Key) on request from the owner.
NOTE:
• Refer to DLK-21, "
INTELLIGENT KEY : S ystem Description" for any functions other than engine start func-
tion of Intelligent Key system.
PRECAUTIONS FOR INTELLIGENT KEY SYSTEM
• For vehicles equipped with the In telligent Key system, the transponder [the chip for NATS ID verifi-
cation] is integrated into the Inte lligent Key. Therefore, the Intelligent Key alone is capable of provid-
ing security clearance for the engine to start. Al so, when the mechanical key alone is inserted into
the key cylinder, performs the NATS ID verification to allow the engine to start. For vehicles without
Intelligent Key system, the transponder is integrated into the mechanical key which must be inserted
into the key cylinder to perform the NATS ID verification to allow the engine to start.
OPERATION WHEN INTELLIGENT KEY IS CARRIED
1. When the ignition knob switch is ON, the Intelligent Key unit 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 Intelligent Key unit.
3. The Intelligent Key unit receives the Intelligent Ke y ID signal and verifies it with the registered ID.
4. Intelligent Key unit transmits the steering lock/unlock signal to steering lock solenoid if the verification
results are OK. For detail of key warning message operation, refer to DLK-38, "
System Description".
5. Release of the steering lock.
6. BCM transmits the starter request signal via CAN communication to IPDM E/R and turns the starter relay in IPDM E/R ON if BCM judges that the engine start condition is satisfied.
7. IPDM E/R turns the starter control relay ON when receiving the starter request signal.
8. When shift position is in P or N position, battery power is supplied through the starter relay and operate the starter motor and to start the cranking.
CAUTION:
If a malfunction is detected in the Intelligen t Key system, the “KEY” warning message will be dis-
played in the combination meter. At th at time, the engine cannot be started.
OPERATION RANGE
Engine can be started when Intelligent Key is inside the vehicle. However, sometimes engine might not start
when Intelligent Key is on instrument panel or in glove box.
OPERATION WHEN MECHANICAL KEY IS USED
When the Intelligent Key battery is discharged, performs the NATS ID verification between the integrated tran-
sponder and BCM by inserting the mechanical key into the key cylinder, and then the engine can be started.
For details relating to starting the engine using mechanical key, refer to SEC-14, "
System Description".
STEERING LOCK OPERATION
Steering is locked by steering lock solenoid when ignition switch is in the LOCK position (the ignition knob is
released) and key switch is OFF (key is removed from ignition key cylinder).
