STEERING LOCK SYSTEM Unable to Lock Steering Wheel

DTC Code DTC Name
Unable to Lock Steering Wheel

DESCRIPTION

The steering lock actuator activates the steering lock motor and moves the lock bar into the steering column to lock the steering.

When the steering lock is operating, the steering may not lock when the lock bar is not aligned with the lock hole of the steering column. In this case, the steering can be locked by turning the steering wheel a little in the same manner as is done for a vehicle with a mechanical key to change the position of the lock hole.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note:

  • When using the GTS with the engine switch off to troubleshoot:

    Connect the GTS to the DLC3 and turn a courtesy light switch on and off at 1.5 second intervals until communication between the GTS and vehicle begins.

  • Perform either of the following operations to lock/unlock the steering:

    • To unlock the steering, carry the key and turn the engine switch on (ACC) or on (IG) with the shift lever in P (except Manual Transaxle).

    • To lock the steering, turn the engine switch off with the shift lever in P (except Manual Transaxle), and then open a door.

  • Make sure that no DTCs are output. If any DTCs are output, proceed to the Diagnostic Trouble Code Chart.

  • When replacing the steering lock ECU (steering lock actuator assembly), certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) or ID code box (immobiliser code ECU) (w/ Multi-information Display (Dot Display Type)), registration must be performed (refer to Service Bulletin).

  • After performing repairs, confirm that the problem does not occur.

PROCEDURE

  1. CHECK DTC (ALL)

    1. Using the GTS, confirm the output of DTCs for all systems.

      OK

      No DTCs are output.

      Note:

      • When using the GTS with the engine switch off to troubleshoot:

        Connect the GTS to the DLC3 and turn a courtesy light switch on and off at 1.5 second intervals until communication between the GTS and vehicle begins.

      • Make sure that no DTCs are output. If any DTCs are output, proceed to Diagnostic Trouble Code Chart.

      Reception state of steering lock request signal by certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly)*2

      Tip:

      • The reception state is maintained for 10 seconds.

      • When 10 seconds or more elapse after receiving the signal, the item changes to "NG".

      OK or NG

      OK: Lock request signal received for 10 sec. of any of the doors being opened with shift lever in P (except Manual Transaxle) and engine switch off.

      NG: Except above

      If OK is not displayed even though the steering lock conditions are met, the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) may be malfunctioning.
