Steering Lock System

STEERING COLUMN: STEERING LOCK SYSTEM: PRECAUTION

1. NOTICE FOR INITIALIZATION

NOTICE:
When disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, initialize the following systems after the cable is reconnected.





2. PRECAUTIONS WHEN WORKING ON ELECTRIC STEERING LOCK

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

(b) 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.

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

(c) If checking for DTCs of the smart access system with push-button start function or if checking the Data List with the engine switch off, make sure that the driver's door is open.

HINT
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 Techstream to communicate with it. Opening and closing the driver's door will cause the ECU to exit the sleep mode.
