  4. CHECK STEERING LOCK ECU (STEERING LOCK ACTUATOR WITH ECU ASSEMBLY) 
    1. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
      GTY1058868Courtesy of © TOYOTA, LICENSE AGREEMENT TMS1002
      *a Component with harness connected
      (Steering lock ECU (steering lock actuator with ECU assembly))

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      D61-4 (SLP1) - Body ground*1 Steering locked 10 kΩ or higher
      D61-4 (SLP1) - Body ground*1 Steering unlocked*2 Below 1 Ω

      HINT: 

      • *1: Tester connection: Positive (+) tester probe → D61-4 (SLP1), Negative (-) tester probe → Body ground
      • *2: If any of the doors are opened with the shift position in P and the ignition switch off, the steering will be locked. If the ignition switch is turned to ACC or ON with the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly in the cabin, the steering will be unlocked.
      • DTC B2285-62 may be stored due to a malfunction in the steering lock ECU (steering lock actuator with ECU assembly). The steering lock position signal and unlock position signal are sent from the steering lock ECU (steering lock actuator with ECU assembly) to the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) individually.
