Steering Lock System: Initialization

HINT:

In vehicles equipped with the push-button start function, the starting function may not be operational after recharging or while jump-starting a discharged battery. This condition is most likely to occur if battery voltage drops below 9 V. The following procedure has been developed to address this condition.

  1. INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE 
    1. Confirm that the D/C CUT fuse is installed.
