Toyota Avalon (XX50) 2019-2022 Service & Repair Manual: Engine does not Start

DESCRIPTION

When the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is in the cabin and the engine switch is pressed, the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) receives a signal and changes the power source mode. Additionally, when the shift lever is in P and the brake pedal is depressed, the engine can be started by pressing the engine switch. If the steering is unlocked, the engine can also be started by pressing the engine switch with the shift lever in N and the brake pedal depressed.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

  • When using the Techstream with the engine switch off, connect the Techstream to the DLC3 and turn a courtesy light switch on and off at intervals of 1.5 seconds or less until communication between the Techstream and the vehicle begins. Then select the vehicle type under manual mode and enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Smart Key. While using the Techstream, periodically turn a courtesy light switch on and off at intervals of 1.5 seconds or less to maintain communication between the Techstream and the vehicle.
  • The smart key system (for Start Function, Gasoline Model) uses the LIN communication system and CAN communication system. Inspect the communication function by following How to Proceed with Troubleshooting. Troubleshoot the smart key system (for Start Function, Gasoline Model) after confirming that the communication systems are functioning properly.

    Click here

  • If the smart key system (for Start Function, Gasoline Model) has been disabled, enable the system before performing troubleshooting.

    Click here

  • Inspect the fuses of circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.
  • Before replacing the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) or an electrical key transmitter sub-assembly, refer to Registration.

    Click here

  • After completing repairs, confirm that the problem does not recur.
  • After performing repairs, confirm that no DTCs are output by performing "DTC Output Confirmation Operation."

HINT:

  • If the engine switch is changed from on (IG) to on (ACC) with the shift lever in any position other than P, and then the shift lever is moved to P and the engine switch is pressed with the brake pedal depressed, the engine switch will turn off.
  • If the brake pedal is repeatedly depressed while the engine is stopped, the brake booster pressure will be released and the force required to depress the brake pedal to illuminate the stop lights will increase.
