Steering Lock System

Steering lock system

Precautions

1. Precautions when checking diagnosis codes.
(1) As the steering lock actuator ASSY (Steering lock ECM) does not store past diagnostics, when diagnosis codes are output, do not turn the ignition to IG OFF or perform any deletions until diagnosis code checking and recording is completely finished.
2. Precautions when attaching/detaching the negative battery terminal or during a battery voltage drop.
(1) After attaching/detaching the negative battery terminal or when there is a drop in battery voltage, after the battery issue has been resolved you may not be able to release the steering lock or start the engine unless you first open and close the driver's door while the ignition is in the IG OFF state.
3. Precautions when replacing the steering lock actuator ASSY (Steering lock ECM).
(1) After replacing the steering lock actuator ASSY (Steering lock ECM), before starting the engine be sure to turn the steering mechanism to the left and right to confirm that the steering is not locked. If the steering is locked, perform the lock procedure and unlock it again. This will prevent the engine from being started while the steering lock is on.
4. Precautions when replacing the ECM.
(1) When replacing any of the following parts, please refer to the "Registration manual for immobilizer".
(a) Smart key computer ASSY (Collation ECM)
(b) Steering lock actuator ASSY (Steering lock ECM)
(c) Engine control computer
(d) Electrical key transmitter SUB-ASSY (Electronic key).
