Lexus RX (RX 350L, RX450h) 2016-2025 Repair Manual: Security Indicator Light Does not Blink

Lexus RX (RX 350L, RX450h) 2016-2025 Repair Manual / Vehicle Interior / Theft Deterrent / Keyless Entry / Immobiliser System / Security Indicator Light Does not Blink

DESCRIPTION

  • The certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) blinks the security indicator light (radio receiver assembly) when the immobiliser is set (engine switch off).
  • The certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) receives the security indicator light signal from the main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU) via CAN communication when the theft deterrent system is in the arming preparation state or alarm sounding state. Then, the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) blinks the security indicator light (radio receiver assembly).

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 Access. 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.
  • Before replacing the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) or main body ECU (multiplex network body ECU), refer to Registration.
