Toyota 4Runner: Unable to Unlock Steering Wheel (Engine cannot Start)

Toyota 4Runner Service Manual / Steering / Steering Column / Steering Lock System / Unable to Unlock Steering Wheel (Engine cannot Start)

DESCRIPTION

The power management control ECU supplies the power to activate the motor of the steering lock actuator assembly.

The steering lock actuator activates the steering lock motor and moves the lock bar into the steering column to lock the steering wheel.

The steering lock may not release when the lock bar gets stuck in the lock hole of the steering column. In this case, if an engine start operation is performed while shaking the steering wheel in the same manner as is done for a vehicle with a mechanical key, the lock bar will release.

The diagnosis information of the steering lock ECU is transmitted to the Techstream via the certification ECU as the steering lock ECU is not connected to the CAN communication system.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

HINT:

When the engine switch is off, the main body ECU may occasionally go into a non-active state called sleep mode. Therefore, before proceeding with the inspection, it is necessary to perform the following steps to wake up the ECU:

With the engine switch off, open the driver door. Then (with the engine switch still off) open and close any door several times at 1.5 second intervals.

NOTICE:

  • If the steering lock actuator assembly (steering lock ECU) is replaced, with the engine switch off and the shift lever in P, open and close the driver side door to record the current lock position into the steering lock ECU. If this is not performed, the engine may not start.
  • When replacing the steering lock ECU, ID code box or certification ECU, registration must be performed (See page
    ).

PROCEDURE

1.

CHECK ENGINE SWITCH (SWITCH CONDITION)

(a) Check the power source mode change.

(1) When the key is inside the vehicle and the shift lever is in P, check that pressing the engine switch causes the power source mode to change as follows:

OK:

off → on (ACC) → on (IG) → off
