Inspection Procedure 3: Even when the selector lever is in the P position, the ignition switch cannot be turned to the "LOCK" (OFF) position. /When the selector lever is in other than the P position, the ignition switch can be turned to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
 
 
 
 
COMMENTS ON TROUBLE SYMPTOM
The mechanical steering lock controls the key interlock solenoid, so that the steering lock cylinder turns from "ACC" to "LOCK" (OFF) only when the selector lever is in the P position. If the steering lock cylinder does not turn from "ACC" to "LOCK" (OFF) even when the selector lever is in the P position, or if the steering lock cylinder turns from "ACC" to "LOCK" (OFF) when the selector lever is in other than the P position, the key interlock solenoid, selector lever assembly, wiring harness, or connector may have a problem.
 
 
PROBABLE CAUSES
  • Key interlock solenoid malfunction
  • Selector lever assembly malfunction
  • Damaged harness wires and connectors
 
 
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
STEP 1. M.U.T.-IIISE other system service data.
  • Turn the ignition switch to the "ACC" position, and check the ETACS-ECU service data.
 
Item No.Item nameNormal condition
111ACC switchON
OK: Normal conditions are displayed for item.
Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 2.
Troubleshoot the ETACS-ECU. Refer to Inspection Procedure 1 "The ignition switch (ACC) signal is not received" .
 
STEP 2. Voltage measurement at selector lever assembly connector.
(1) Disconnect the connector, and measure at the wiring harness side.
(2) Turn the ignition switch from "ACC" position.
(3) Check the voltage between the selector lever assembly connector (power supply terminal) and body earth.
OK: System voltage
Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 4.
Go to Step 3.
 
STEP 3. Check of short to power supply, short to earth, and open circuit in ACC1 line between selector lever assembly connector and ETACS-ECU connector.
Is the check result normal?
The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to use Troubleshooting/inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).
Repair the connector(s) or wiring harness.
 
STEP 4. Resistance measurement at selector lever assembly connector.
(1) Disconnect the connector, and measure at the wiring harness side.
(2) Measure the resistance between the selector lever assembly connector (earth terminal) and body earth.
OK: Continuity exists (2 Ω or less)
Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 6.
Go to Step 5.
 
STEP 5. Check of open circuit in earth line between selector lever assembly connector and body earth.
Is the check result normal?
The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to use Troubleshooting/inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).
Repair the connector(s) or wiring harness.
 
STEP 6. Key interlock solenoid check.
Refer to GROUP 37 - Steering column shaft assembly .
Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 7.
Replace the key interlock solenoid.
 
STEP 7. Resistance measurement at key interlock solenoid connector.
(1) Disconnect the connector, and measure at the wiring harness side.
(2) Measure the resistance between the key interlock solenoid connector (earth terminal) and body earth.
OK: Continuity exists (2 Ω or less)
Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 9.
Go to Step 8.
 
STEP 8. Check of open circuit in earth line between key interlock solenoid connector and body earth.
Is the check result normal?
The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to use Troubleshooting/inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).
Repair the connector(s) or wiring harness.
 
STEP 9. Check of short to power supply, short to earth, and open circuit in signal line between selector lever assembly connector and key interlock solenoid connector.
Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 10.
Repair the connector(s) or wiring harness.
 
STEP 10. Retest the system
Check that the ignition switch can be turned to the "LOCK" (OFF) position when the selector lever is in the P position. Or, check that the ignition switch cannot be turned to the "LOCK" (OFF) position when the selector lever is in other than the P position.
Is the check result normal?
The trouble can be an intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to use Troubleshooting/inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunction ).
Replace the selector lever assembly.
