DTC B2795/99 Unmatched Key Code
This DTC is output when an unregistered key is inserted. When this DTC is output, delete DTC and insert
the key that a customer keeps to check that B2795 is output.
When a key that outputs B2795 is found, register this key. when B2795 is not output, there is a possibility
that the unregistered key has been inserted before. (ECM is normal.)
Inquire a customer the condition of using the system to find the cause of the trouble.
(Example: Another key has been inserted, etc..)

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1 Delete DTC and insert all the presently available keys to check whether the en-
gine starts or not.
HINT:
When inserting the key that does not start the engine, DTC (B 2795) is stored in memory.
RESULT:
OKAll keys starts the engine.
NGA specific key does not start the engine.
OK No problem.
HINT:
If the result is ºOKº, please confirm whether or not customers
have ever inserted the unregistered key or the immobiliser key
(with transponder chip) of other vehicle in the ignition key cylin-
der, and find out the cause of detecting DTC.
NG
Register the key that does not start the en-
gine.
