FREEZE FRAME DATA

  1. FREEZE FRAME DATA NOTE: Freeze frame data values will vary depending on the measurement conditions, surroundings, or vehicle conditions. For this reason, there may be a problem even when the values are within specifications. Turn the engine switch on (IG) and park the vehicle on level ground. Check the freeze frame data by using the Techstream. Turn the engine switch off. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3. Turn the engine switch on (IG). Turn the Techstream on. Check the freeze frame data. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Tilt & Telescopic / Trouble Codes.

FAIL-SAFE CHART

HINT

If the power source voltage to the multiplex tilt and telescopic ECU returns to normal within 10 seconds during tilt or telescopic operation, the operation will be resumed. If it returns to normal after 10 seconds have elapsed, the operation restarts when a tilt or telescopic operation signal is again input to the multiplex tilt and telescopic ECU.

DTC CodeDetection ItemFail-safe Operation
B2603Tilt and Telescopic Switch Circuit MalfunctionThe tilt and telescopic operation using the switch is suspended.
B2610Tilt Position Sensor or Tilt Motor Circuit MalfunctionThe tilt operation is suspended.
B2611Telescopic Position Sensor or Telescopic Motor Circuit MalfunctionThe telescopic operation is suspended.
B2620ECU Power Source Circuit MalfunctionThe tilt and telescopic operation is suspended.
B2621Communication InterruptionThe tilt and telescopic operation is limited depending on which ECU has lost communication. For details, refer to Fail-safe Function.
B2624Speed Signal MalfunctionThe auto away/return function stops.

FAIL-SAFE OPERATION

  1. FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION If a malfunction in the tilt position sensor signal or telescopic position sensor signal occurs while operating the power tilt or power telescopic function, the multiplex tilt and telescopic ECU stops the operation of the power tilt and power telescopic steering column system. If the power source voltage to the ECU drops below approximately 8 V while operating the power tilt or power telescopic function, the ECU stops the operation of the power tilt and power telescopic steering column system. If the ECU detects that the motor has locked during the operation of the power tilt or power telescopic function, the ECU stops the operation of the power tilt and power telescopic steering column system. If the communication of an ECU that is related to the power tilt and power telescopic steering column system is interrupted, the control of functions by the multiplex tilt and telescopic ECU is limited as shown in the table below.
