DTC B2285: Steering Lock Position Signal Circuit Malfunction [11/2019 - 10/2022]: Procedure

1. Check for DTCs.

   Body Electrical > Smart Access > Trouble Codes 

   HINT: 

   • If the steering cannot be unlocked, the engine switch cannot be turned on (IG) and the engine cannot be started.
   • If LIN communication is not available, the steering cannot be locked or unlocked.

   OK

   LIN communication system DTC B2785 is not output simultaneously.

GO TO DTC B2785. Refer to  DTC B2785: Communication Malfunction between ECUs Connected by LIN [09/2014 - 10/2022] 

Result: 

OK 

See step  2

1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
3. Turn the Techstream on.
4. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Power Source Control / Data List.
5. Read the Data List according to the display on the Techstream.

   Body Electrical > Power Source Control > Data List 

   Tester Display	Measurement Item	Range	Normal Condition	Diagnostic Note
   Steering Unlock Switch	State of steering unlock sensor signal output from steering lock ECU (steering lock actuator assembly)	OFF or ON	OFF: Steering locked ON: Steering unlocked	When the shift lever is in P and the engine switch is off, if any door is opened or closed, the steering is locked. When the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly is in the cabin and the engine switch is turned on (ACC) or on (IG), the steering unlocks. The engine cannot be started when the steering unlock signal is off.

   Standard Resistance

   Tester Connection		Condition	Specified Condition
   O27-4 (SLP1) - Body ground	Positive (+) tester probe → O27-4 (SLP1) Negative (-) tester probe → Body ground	Steering locked → unlocked*	10 kΩ or higher → Below 1 Ω

   HINT: 

   • *: If any of the doors are opened with the shift lever in P and the engine switch off, the steering will be locked. If the engine switch is turned on (ACC) or on (IG) with the electrical key transmitter sub-assembly in the cabin, the steering will be unlocked.
   • DTC B2285 may be stored due to a malfunction in the steering lock ECU (steering lock actuator assembly). The steering lock position signal and unlock position signal are sent from the steering lock ECU (steering lock actuator assembly) to the certification ECU (smart key ECU assembly) individually.
