for Manual Transaxle
-
This DTC is stored when the SLA input (the steering lock motor activation permission signal) sent directly from the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) to the steering lock ECU (steering lock actuator or upper bracket assembly) is determined to be abnormal.
HINT:
The steering lock ECU (steering lock actuator or upper bracket assembly) is not connected to the CAN communication system. However, the steering lock ECU (steering lock actuator or upper bracket assembly) is connected to the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) via LIN communication and communicates with other components via CAN communication through the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly).
DTC No.

Note
B279F1C
Steering Lock Confirmation Signal Circuit Voltage Out of Range
Either of the following conditions is met (1-trip detection logic*):
- Steering lock ECU (steering lock actuator or upper bracket assembly)
- Certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly)
- Wire harness or connector
DTC Output Confirmation Operation:
- Any time
*: Only detected while a malfunction is present and the ignition switch is ON.
Vehicle Condition and Fail-safe Function when Malfunction Detected

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.
-
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.
