DTC

B2285

Steering Lock Position Signal Circuit Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

This DTC is stored when the steering lock position signal sent by the steering lock ECU (steering lock actuator with ECU assembly) via direct line and the steering lock position signal sent via LIN communication do not match.

DTC No.

Note

B2285

Steering Lock Position Signal Circuit Malfunction

The steering lock position signal sent by the steering lock ECU (steering lock actuator with ECU assembly) via direct line and the steering lock position signal sent via LIN communication do not match. (1-trip detection logic*)
  • LIN communication system
  • Steering lock ECU (steering lock actuator with ECU assembly)
  • Certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly)
  • Harness or connector

DTC Output Confirmation Operation:

  • Disconnect the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal, wait 30 seconds and then reconnect the cable to the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal. Wait at least 40 seconds with the power switch off (wait is the steering locked), then turn the power switch on (IG) (steering unlocked) and wait at least 40 seconds.
  • *: Only detected while a malfunction is present.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

  • When using the Techstream with the power switch off, connect the Techstream to the DLC3 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.
  • The smart key system (for Start Function) uses the LIN communication system and CAN communication system. Inspect the communication function by following How to Proceed with Troubleshooting. Troubleshoot the smart key system (for Start Function) after confirming that the communication systems are functioning properly.

  • After repair, confirm that no DTCs are output by performing "DTC Output Confirmation Operation".

PROCEDURE

1.

CHECK FOR DTC

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the power switch on (IG).

(c) Turn the Techstream on.

(d) Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Smart Key / Trouble Codes.

(e) Check for DTCs.

Body Electrical > Smart Key > Trouble Codes

HINT:

  • If the steering cannot be unlocked, the power switch cannot be turned on (IG) and the hybrid control system cannot be started.
  • If LIN communication is not available, the steering cannot be locked or unlocked.
