DTC B2288 Steering Lock Signal Circuit Malfunction
DESCRIPTION
This DTC is output when the power source control ECU cannot detect the unlock condition of the steering lock within a specified time.
- When the power source control ECU is replaced with a new one and the negative (-) battery terminal is connected, the power source mode becomes the IG-ON mode. When the battery is removed and reinstalled, the power source mode that was selected when the battery was removed is restored.
DTC No. | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
B2288 |
After turning engine switch from off to on (IG), the steering wheel does not unlock for a certain period of time (ECU unlocks steering wheel only when it receives an unlock signal from LIN communication and cable) |

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
Check for DTCs again.
- OK:
- DTC B2785, DTC B2287 and DTC B2781 are not output.
If DTC B2785 is output .
If DTC B2287 is output .
If DTC B2781 is output .
Check that the connectors are securely connected and the terminals are not deformed or loose.
- OK:
- The connectors are securely connected and the terminals are not deformed or loose.
| REPAIR OR REPLACE CONNECTORS |
|
|
3.CHECK WIRE HARNESS (POWER SOURCE CONTROL ECU - BODY GROUND) |
Disconnect the J55 ECU connector.
Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
- Standard resistance:
Tester Connection (Symbols) | Condition | Specified Condition |
J55-6 (GND2) - Body ground | Always | Below 1 Ω |
| REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR |
|
|
4.CHECK WIRE HARNESS (POWER SOURCE CONTROL ECU - STEERING LOCK ECU) |
Disconnect the J29 ECU connector.
Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
- Standard resistance:
Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
J55-26 (SLP) - J29-4 (SLP1) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
J55-32 (SLR+) - J29-3 (IGE) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
J55-30 (LIN1) - J29-5 (LIN) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
J29-2 (SGND) - Body ground | Always | Below 1 Ω |
J29-1 (GND) - Body ground | Always | Below 1 Ω |
J55-26 (SLP) or J29-4 (SLP1) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
J55-32 (SLR+) or J29-3 (IGE) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
J55-30 (LIN1) or J29-5 (LIN) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
| REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR |
|
|
5.INSPECT POWER SOURCE CONTROL ECU |
Reconnect the J55 ECU connector.
Connect the oscilloscope to the power source control ECU terminals specified in the table below and check the waveform.
Item | Contents |
Terminal (Symbols) | J55-26 (SLP) - Body ground |
Equipment Setting | 2 V/DIV., 100 ms./DIV. |
Condition | Engine switch on (IG) |
- OK:
- The waveform appears as shown in the illustration.
| REPLACE POWER SOURCE CONTROL ECU |
|
|
6.INSPECT STEERING LOCK ECU |
Reconnect the J29 ECU connector.
Connect the oscilloscope to the power source control ECU terminals specified in the table below and check the waveform.
Item | Contents |
Terminal (Symbols) | J55-26 (SLP) - Body ground |
Equipment Setting | 2 V/DIV., 100 ms./DIV. |
Condition | Steering is LOCK / UNLOCK |
- OK:
- The waveform appears as shown in the illustration.
| REPLACE STEERING LOCK ECU |
|
|
After DTCs are all cleared, check if the trouble occurs again 30 seconds after the engine switch is turned on (IG) and clutch pedal depressed.
- OK:
- DTC B2288 is not output.
| REPLACE POWER SOURCE CONTROL ECU |
|
|
OK | |
| |
REPLACE STEERING LOCK ECU |
