Note

  1. PRECAUTIONS WHEN WORKING ON ELECTRIC STEERING LOCK


    1. After replacing the steering lock actuator (steering lock ECU), perform the key ID code registration.

    2. If the steering lock actuator is replaced, open and close the driver's door. The engine may not start until the driver's door is opened or closed.

      Tech Tips

      Opening and closing the driver's door causes the steering lock actuator (steering lock ECU) to memorize the correct steering lock bar position.

    3. If checking for DTCs of the entry and start system or if checking the DATA LIST with the engine switch off, make sure that the driver's door is open.

      Tech Tips

      When the engine switch is off, the main body ECU may be in a sleep mode. If the main body ECU is in this sleep mode, it will not be possible for the intelligent tester to communicate with it. Opening and closing the driver's door will cause the ECU to exit the sleep mode.
