Steering Lock System -- Diagnosis System |
DESCRIPTION |
When troubleshooting a vehicle with a diagnosis system, connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3 of the vehicle and read various data output from the steering lock ECU.
The steering lock ECU records DTCs when the computer detects a malfunction in the computer itself or in its circuits.The diagnosis information of the steering lock ECU is transmitted to the tester via the certification ECU as the steering lock ECU is not connected to the CAN communication system.
The steering lock ECU does not store DTCs regarding past problems.
- HINT:
- When the engine switch is off, the main body ECU to which the intelligent tester is to be connected may not be working.
- Communication with the intelligent tester is impossible if the main body ECU is not working.
As the computer's memory data will be deleted, do not remove the fuses or disconnect the battery terminals until the DTCs are checked and noted.
Malfunctions related to systems other than the steering lock ECU's system may cause DTCs to be output. Note DTCs related to other systems.
CHECK DLC3 |
The ECU uses ISO 15765-4 for communication. The terminal arrangement of the DLC3 complies with ISO 15031-3 and matches the ISO 15765-4 format.
Symbols (Terminal No.) Terminal Description Condition Specified Condition SIL (7) - SG (5) Bus "+" line During transmission Pulse generation CG (4) - Body ground Chassis ground Always Below 1 Ω SG (5) - Body ground Signal ground Always Below 1 Ω BAT (16) - Body ground Battery positive Always 11 to 14 V CANH (6) - CANL (14) CAN bus line Engine switch off* 54 to 69 Ω CANH (6) - CG (4) HIGH-level CAN bus line Engine switch off* 200 Ω or higher CANL (14) - CG (4) LOW-level CAN bus line Engine switch off* 200 Ω or higher CANH (6) - BAT (16) HIGH-level CAN bus line Engine switch off* 6 kΩ or higher CANL (14) - BAT (16) LOW-level CAN bus line Engine switch off* 6 kΩ or higher - NOTICE:
- *: Before measuring the resistance, leave the vehicle as is for at least 1 minute and do not operate the engine switch, any other switches or the doors.
- If the result is not as specified, the DLC3 may have a malfunction. Repair or replace the harness and connector.
- HINT:
- Connect the cable of the intelligent tester to the DLC3, turn the engine switch on (IG) and attempt to use the tester. If the display indicates that a communication error has occurred, there is a problem either with the vehicle or with the tester.
- If communication is normal when the tester is connected to another vehicle, inspect the DLC3 of the original vehicle.
- If communication is still not possible when the tester is connected to another vehicle, the problem may be in the tester itself. Consult the Service Department listed in the tester's instruction manual.
