PRECAUTION

Note. Some systems need to be initialized after reconnecting the negative (-) battery terminal. Refer to INITIALIZATION .

  1. PRECAUTIONS WHEN WORKING ON ELECTRIC STEERING LOCK After replacing the steering lock actuator assembly (steering lock ECU), perform the key ID code registration. If the steering lock actuator assembly 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 assembly (steering lock ECU) to memorize the correct steering lock bar position. 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 Techstream to communicate with it. Opening and closing the driver's door will cause the ECU to exit the sleep mode.

INPUT AND OUTPUT SIGNALS OF EACH ECU

INITIALIZATION

HINT

In vehicles equipped with the smart access system with push-button start function, the starting function may not operate after recharging or while jump-starting a discharged battery. This condition is most common if the battery voltage drops below 9 V. The following procedure has been developed to address this condition.

Scheme 18: INITIALIZATION
  1. INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE Confirm that the short pin is installed. HINT: If the short pin fuse is not installed, install it at this time. Move the shift lever to the P position. Turn the engine switch off. Open the driver's door. HINT: Opening the driver's door will start an initialization process between the steering lock ECU and the engine room J/B. Depress the brake pedal. Press the "START STOP" switch.
