DTC B2288 Steering Lock Signal Circuit Malfunction: Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Lexus ES 350. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

This DTC is output when the main body ECU cannot detect the unlock condition of the steering lock within a specified time.

HINT:

When the main body ECU is replaced with a new one and the negative (-) battery terminal is connected, the power source mode becomes the IG-ON mode. When the battery is removed and reinstalled, the power source mode that was selected when the battery was removed is restored.

After the main body ECU is replaced, perform the registration procedures for the engine immobilizer system (See REGISTRATION ).
