STEERING LOCK SYSTEM Unlock Position Sensor Signal Circuit

DESCRIPTION

The steering lock ECU sends an unlock position signal to the main body ECU. On receiving the signal, the main body ECU permits the hybrid control system start. This prevents the hybrid control system from being started with the steering locked.

The diagnosis information of the steering lock ECU is transmitted to the tester via the certification ECU as the steering lock ECU is not connected to the CAN communication system.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Tech Tips

When the power switch is OFF, the main body ECU may occasionally go into a non-active state called sleep mode. Therefore, before proceeding with the inspection, it is necessary to perform the following steps to wake up the ECU:

With the power switch OFF, open the driver door. Then (with the power switch still OFF) open and close any door several times at 1.5 second intervals.

PROCEDURE


  1. INSPECT STEERING LOCK ECU

    A00106GE02
    *1 Component with harness connected: (Steering Lock ECU)

    1. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard voltage
      Tester Connection Condition (Steering Lock Position) Specified Condition
      L33-4 (SLP1) - L33-2 (SGND) Locked 11 to 14 V
      L33-4 (SLP1) - L33-2 (SGND) Unlocked Below 1 V

    OK

  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (STEERING LOCK ECU - MAIN BODY ECU)

    A000VALE03
    *1 Front view of wire harness connector: (to Main Body ECU)
    *2 Front view of wire harness connector: (to Steering Lock ECU)

    1. Disconnect the L33 steering lock ECU connector.

    2. Disconnect the L13 main body ECU connector.

    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      L33-4 (SLP1) - L13-18 (SLP) Always Below 1 Ω
      L33-4 (SLP1) or L13-18 (SLP) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    OK
