      1. Turn the engine switch off
      2. Turn the engine switch on (ACC or IG)
      Below 1 V

    NG → See step   2 

    OK → See step   4 

  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (STEERING LOCK ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY - POWER SOURCE CONTROL ECU) 
    1. Disconnect the J29 connector from the steering lock actuator assembly.

    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance

      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      J29-4 (SLP1) - J55-26 (SLP) Always Below 1 Ω
      J29-4 (SLP1) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    OK → See step   3 

  3. CHECK SMART ACCESS SYSTEM WITH PUSH-BUTTON START (for start). Refer to  HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING 
  4. REPLACE STEERING LOCK ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY. Refer to  DISASSEMBLY
