| Title: THEFT DETERRENT / KEYLESS ENTRY: SMART KEY SYSTEM (for Start Function (Gasoline Model, except TMMMS Made)): Unable to Unlock Steering Wheel (Engine cannot Start); 2023 MY Corolla Corolla Hatchback GR Corolla [09/2022 - 11/2022] | ||
|
Unable to Unlock Steering Wheel (Engine cannot Start) |
DESCRIPTION
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 ignition switch is turned to ON 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.

WIRING DIAGRAM
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
NOTICE:
-
When using the GTS with the ignition 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 / Start Key(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 electrical key transmitter sub-assembly and turn the ignition switch to ACC or ON.
- To lock the steering, turn the ignition switch off, and then open a door.
-
The smart key 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 key 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), ID code box (immobiliser code ECU) or certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly), refer to Registration.

- When disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary 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 ignition switch off, and then unlock the steering by pressing the engine switch.
- After repair, confirm that no DTCs are output by performing "DTC Output Confirmation Operation".
