DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM [12/2013 - ]

  1. DESCRIPTION The steering lock actuator assembly (steering lock ECU) stores DTCs when a malfunction occurs in the system. These DTCs can be confirmed by using the Techstream. NOTE: When using the Techstream with the engine switch off to confirm DTCs or Data List information related to the smart key system, the Techstream may not operate unless either of the following is performed: 1) Turn a courtesy light switch on and off at intervals of 1.5 seconds or less until communication between the Techstream and vehicle begins, or 2) connect the Techstream to the vehicle and select the vehicle type under manual mode and enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Smart Key. Do not remove any fuses or disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal before confirming and recording DTCs as the data stored in the ECUs will be cleared. DTCs may have been stored due to problems unrelated to the steering lock actuator assembly (steering lock ECU) system. Be sure to confirm and record any DTCs output for other systems. The steering lock actuator assembly (steering lock ECU) is not connected to the CAN communication system. Therefore, communication with the Techstream is performed via the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly). The steering lock actuator assembly (steering lock ECU) only stores DTCs for currently existing malfunctions. Past DTCs are not stored.

DTC CHECK / CLEAR [12/2013 - ]

Note. The steering lock actuator assembly (steering lock ECU) does not store past DTCs. If any DTCs are output, confirm and record them as soon as possible. Do not turn the engine switch off or clear the DTCs until the DTCs are confirmed and recorded. DTCs may have been stored due to problems unrelated to the steering lock actuator assembly (steering lock ECU) system. Be sure to confirm and record any DTCs output for other systems. When using the Techstream with the engine switch off, connect the Techstream to the vehicle 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.

  1. CHECK FOR DTC (MAIN BODY ECU (NETWORK GATEWAY ECU)) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3. Turn the engine switch on (IG). Turn the Techstream on. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Main Body / DTC. Check for DTCs.
  2. CHECK FOR DTC (CERTIFICATION ECU (SMART KEY ECU ASSEMBLY)) HINT: The steering lock system DTCs are output from the steering lock actuator assembly (steering lock ECU) via the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly). Connect the Techstream to the DLC3. Turn the engine switch on (IG). Turn the Techstream on. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Smart Key / DTC. Check for DTCs.
  3. CLEAR DTC (MAIN BODY ECU (NETWORK GATEWAY ECU)) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3. Turn the engine switch on (IG). Turn the Techstream on. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Main Body / DTC. Clear the DTCs.
  4. CLEAR DTC (CERTIFICATION ECU (SMART KEY ECU ASSEMBLY)) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3. Turn the engine switch on (IG). Turn the Techstream on. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Smart Key / DTC. Clear the DTCs.

Scheme 66: DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST [12/2013 - ]
  1. READ DATA LIST HINT: Using the Techstream to read the Data List allows the values or states of switches, sensors, actuators and other items to be read without removing any parts. This non-intrusive inspection can be very useful because intermittent conditions or signals may be discovered before parts or wiring is disturbed. Reading the Data List information early in troubleshooting is one way to save diagnostic time. NOTE: In the table below, the values listed under "Normal Condition" are reference values. Do not depend solely on these reference values when deciding whether a part is faulty or not. Turn the engine switch off. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3. Turn the engine switch on (IG). Turn the Techstream on. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / (desired system) / Data List. According to the display on the Techstream, read the Data List. Using the Techstream, confirm the Data List items to help determine the cause of the problem. NOTE: The steering lock actuator assembly (steering lock ECU) communicates with the Techstream through the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) which uses CAN communication. If the CAN communication system or certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) is malfunctioning, Data List items may not be normal. When using the Techstream with the engine switch off, connect the Techstream to the vehicle 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. POWER SOURCE CONTROL Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note Shift P Signal*1 Shift position (P) signal / OFF or ON OFF: Shift lever is not in P ON: Shift lever in P Use this item to determine if the shift position switch is malfunctioning.
