STEERING LOCK SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM


  1. DESCRIPTION


    1. DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM

      When troubleshooting a vehicle with a diagnostic system, the only difference from the usual troubleshooting procedure is connecting the intelligent tester to the vehicle and reading various data output from the vehicle's steering lock ECU.

      The steering lock ECU records DTCs when the ECU detects a malfunction in the ECU itself or in system circuits.

      To check the DTCs, connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3 on the vehicle. The intelligent tester enables the DTCs to be cleared, the indicators to be activated, and the DATA LIST to be checked.

    2. The steering lock ECU diagnosis information cannot be read directly from the steering lock ECU by the tester. The diagnosis information from the steering lock ECU is transmitted to the tester via the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) using the Controller Area Network (CAN).
