Lexus IS250 IS220d GSE20 ALE20 - STEERING COLUMN
POWER TILT AND POWER TELESCOPIC STEERING COLUMN SYSTEM - DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION |
When troubleshooting a vehicle with the diagnostic system, the only difference from the usual troubleshooting procedure is connecting the intelligent tester to the vehicle and reading various data output from the vehicle's multiplex tilt & telescopic ECU.
The multiplex tilt & telescopic ECU records DTCs when the ECU detects a malfunction in the computer itself or in its circuits.
To check the DTCs, connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3 on the vehicle. The intelligent tester enables you to erase the DTCs, activate several actuators, and check the freeze frame data and various forms of steering data.
DLC3 CHECK |

Check the DLC3.
The multiplex tilt & telescopic ECU uses CAN and ISO 15765-04 for its communication protocol. The terminal arrangement of the DLC3 complies with ISO 15031-03 and matches the ISO 15765-04 format.
