Circuit description

The steering lock actuator ASSY (Steering lock ECM) drives the motor that inserts the lock bar into the steering column to lock the steering wheel.

There may be cases where the steering lock bar becomes stuck in the steering column lock hole, causing the steering lock to become unable to be released. In this case, in the same manner as for conventional plate key vehicles, the lock bar can be worked out of the hole by performing the engine start operation while rocking the steering wheel.

When replacing the smart key computer ASSY (Collation ECM), there may be cases where the steering cannot be unlocked or the engine cannot be started unless registration and initializing operation is carried out. (Refer to the "Registration manual for immobilizer")
