The steering lock ECU (steering lock actuator or upper bracket assembly) activates the steering lock motor and moves the lock bar into the steering column to lock the steering.
The steering may not unlock when the lock bar gets stuck in the lock hole of the steering column. In this case, if the engine switch is turned on (IG) while shaking the steering wheel, as is done for a vehicle with a mechanical key, the lock bar will be unlocked. If the ID code box (immobiliser code ECU) or ECM is replaced, the system needs to be initialized. Otherwise, the steering cannot be unlocked and the engine cannot be started.

Steering Unlock |
When using the GTS with the engine switch off, connect the GTS to the DLC3 and turn a courtesy light switch on and off at intervals of 1.5 seconds or less until communication between the GTS and the vehicle begins. Then select Model Code "KEY REGIST" under manual mode and enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Entry&Start(CAN). While using the GTS, periodically turn a courtesy light switch on and off at intervals of 1.5 seconds or less to maintain communication between the GTS and the vehicle.
Perform either of the following operations to lock/unlock the steering:
To unlock the steering, carry the key and turn the engine switch on (ACC) or on (IG).
To lock the steering, turn the engine switch off with the shift lever in P, and then open a door.
The smart entry and start system (for Start Function) uses the LIN communication system and CAN communication system. Inspect the communication function by following How to Proceed with Troubleshooting. Troubleshoot the smart entry and start system (for Start Function) after confirming that the communication systems are functioning properly.
After performing repairs, confirm that the problem does not recur.
Make sure that no DTCs are output. If any DTCs are output, proceed to Diagnostic Trouble Code Chart.
Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.
Before replacing the steering lock ECU (steering lock actuator or upper bracket assembly), certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) or ID code box (immobiliser code ECU), refer to Service Bulletin.
When disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected.
If the steering lock ECU (steering lock actuator or upper bracket assembly) is replaced, be sure to confirm that the steering is unlocked by turning the steering wheel to the left and right before starting the engine. This function prevents the engine from starting while the steering is locked. If the steering is locked for any reason, open and close a door with the engine switch off, and then unlock the steering by pressing the engine switch.
Check the power source mode change.
When the key is inside the vehicle and the shift lever is in P, check that pressing the engine switch with the brake pedal released causes the power source mode to change as follows:
Off → On (ACC) → On (IG) → Off
