Steering Lock Position Signal Circuit Malfunction

The steering lock position signal sent by the steering lock ECU (steering lock actuator or upper bracket assembly) via direct line and the steering lock position signal sent via LIN communication do not match. (1-trip detection logic*1)

  • LIN communication system
  • Steering lock ECU (steering lock actuator or upper bracket assembly)
  • Certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly)
  • Wire harness or connector
  • DCM (telematics transceiver)*2
  • Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal, wait 30 seconds and then reconnect the cable to the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal. Wait at least 40 seconds with the power switch off (wait is the steering locked), then turn the power switch on (IG) (steering unlocked) and wait at least 40 seconds.
  • *1: Only detected while a malfunction is present and the power switch is on (IG).
  • *2: for Toyota Entune Remote Connect Compatible Type

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

  • When using the Techstream with the power 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 Key. 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.
  • The smart key system (for Start Function, HV Model) uses the LIN communication system and CAN communication system. Inspect the communication function by following How to Proceed with Troubleshooting. Troubleshoot the smart key system (for Start Function, HV Model) after confirming that the communication systems are functioning properly.

    • *: for Toyota Entune Remote Connect Compatible Type
  • After repair, confirm that no DTCs are output by performing "DTC Output Confirmation Operation".

PROCEDURE

1.

CHECK FOR DTC

(a) Check for DTCs.

Body Electrical > Smart Key > Trouble Codes

HINT:

  • If the steering cannot be unlocked, the power switch cannot be turned on (IG) and the hybrid control system cannot be started.
  • If LIN communication is not available, the steering cannot be locked or unlocked.

OK:

LIN communication system DTC B2785 is not output simultaneously.

NG

GO TO DTC B2785

OK

2.

READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (STEERING UNLOCK SWITCH)

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the power switch on (IG).

(c) Turn the Techstream on.

(d) Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Power Source Control / Data List.

(e) Read the Data List according to the display on the Techstream.

Steering Unlock Switch

State of steering unlock sensor signal output from steering lock ECU (steering lock actuator or upper bracket assembly)

OFF or ON

OFF: Steering locked

ON: Steering unlocked

  • When the shift lever is in P and the power switch is off, if any door is opened or closed, the steering is locked.
  • When the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is in the cabin and the power switch is turned on (ACC) or on (IG), the steering unlocks.
  • The hybrid control system cannot be started when the steering unlock signal is off.

3.

CHECK STEERING LOCK ECU (STEERING LOCK ACTUATOR OR UPPER BRACKET ASSEMBLY)

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

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection

Condition

Specified Condition

G43-4 (SLP1) - Body ground

Positive (+) tester probe → G43-4 (SLP1)

Negative (-) tester probe → Body ground

Steering locked → unlocked*

10 kΩ or higher → Below 1 Ω

HINT:

  • *: If any of the doors are opened with the shift lever in P and the power switch off, the steering will be locked. If the power switch is turned on (ACC) or on (IG) with the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly in the cabin, the steering will be unlocked.
  • DTC B2285 may be stored due to a malfunction in the steering lock ECU (steering lock actuator or upper bracket assembly). The steering lock position signal and unlock position signal are sent from the steering lock ECU (steering lock actuator or upper bracket assembly) to the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) individually.
