Inspection Procedure 4
The key reminder warning buzzer dose not stop sounding
even if the key is removed. (However, it stops when the
driver’s side door is closed.)
Probable cause
The cause is probably a malfunction of the key reminder switch input circuit system,
or a malfunction of ETACS-ECU, or a malfunction of buzzer ECU.

Inspection Procedure 5
The key reminder warning buzzer dose not sound even if
the driver’s side door is opened while the key is still
inserted. (However, the ignition key should be in the OFF
position.)
Probable cause
The cause is probably a malfunction of the door switch input circuit system, if the
key hole illumination lamp is also faulty. A malfunction of the key reminder switch
input circuit system is also suspected.

CHASSIS ELECTRICAL – Ignition Switch and Immobilizer System54-21
ID CODE REGISTRATION METHOD
If using an ignition key that has just been newly purchased,
or if the immobilizer-ECU has been replaced, you will need
to register the ID codes for each ignition key being used
into the immobilizer-ECU. (A maximum of eight different ID
codes can be registered.)
Moreover, when the immobilizer-ECU has been replaced, you
will need to use the MUT-II to register the password that
the user specifies into the immobilizer-ECU. (Refer to the
MUT-II instruction manual for instructions on using the MUT-II.)
Caution
If registering of the ID codes is carried out all
previously-registered codes will be erased. Accordingly,
you should have ready all of the ignition keys that have
already been registered.
1. Connect the MUT-II to the diagnosis connector.
Caution
Turn the ignition switch off before connecting or
disconnecting the MUT-II.
2. Check that the diagnosis code No.54 is not displayed
for MPI system. If the code is displayed, carry out
troubleshooting before proceeding to the next step. (Refer
to GROUP 13A – Troubleshooting).
3. Use the ignition key that is to be registered to turn the
ignition switch to the ON position.
4. Use the MUT-II to register the ID code. If you are
registering two or more codes, use the next key to be
registered to turn the ignition switch to the ON position
without disconnecting the MUT-II.
5. Disconnect the MUT-II. This completes the registration
operation.
6. Check that the engine can be started by each one of
the ignition keys.
7. Check that the diagnosis code No.54 is not displayed
for MPI system. If the code is displayed, erase it. (Refer
to GROUP 13A – Troubleshooting).

The lighting monitor buzzer does not sound even when
the ignition key is removed with the tail lamps or
headlamps ON and the driver’s side door open. [However,
the key reminder warning buzzer sounds when inserting
the key into the ignition key cylinder.
Probable cause
The cause is probably a malfunction of the lighting switch input circuit system or
a malfunction of ETACS-ECU or buzzer ECU. When the key reminder warning buzzer
is sounding, the lighting monitor warning buzzer does not sound even if the tail lamps
or headlamps are lit.
