Steering Column Lock Failure

B1978 Electric Steering Column Lock Failure > General Information

Component inspection

General Description
ESCL(Electronic Steering Column Lock) is a system to control the lock or unlock of the Steering Column.
It is installed on steering column and Smartkey Module is located inside of instrument panel, left knee of driver side.
It consists of ESCL control Module, Smartkey Module, PDM and SSB(engine Start Stop Button)
It is operating as follows
[Link] SSB → 2. Switch 1 signal goes to PDM, Switch 2 signal goes to Smartkey Module → [Link] supplies power supply to
ESCL → [Link] Module sends ENABLE signal and operation signal to ESCL → [Link] controls bolt to lock or unlock ESCL
→ [Link] detects ESCL Unlock signal.

DTC Description
Smartkey Module receives ESCL lock or unlock stuatus signal from ESCL and PDM(via CAN). And then, Smartkey Module
compares PDM is lock or unlock signal with ESCL is lock or unlock signal.
If the both signals are unmathing, Smartkey Module sets DTC B1971.

DTC Detecting Condition

Item Detecting Condition Possible cause
• Poor connection in harness or
connector.
DTC Strategy • Check voltage and Data • After battery voltage is supplied to
Smartkey Module
- If IPM detects pins related ESCL
are failed
1. Faulty ESCL control Module
2. Open or short in battery /
ground curcuit of ESCL
Enable Conditions • After battery voltage is suppiled to Smartkey Module 3. Open or short to battery /
ground in communicantion circuit
of ESCL
4. Open in O_ESCL Enable circuit
from Smartkey Module
5. Open or short in ESCL_Unlock
circuit to PDM
• When both signal from ESCL lock or unlock status and PDM - DTC is set although it is not
Threshold value
lock or unlock stuatus are unmatching ESCL fault
6. No battery voltage to PDM
7. Short to battery in power relay
on the PDM line such as ACC,
 IGN1, IGN2, Starter Rly
8. When actuation test for PDM9.
It is leant status but not with same
PIN code for all Smartkey
Failsafe •- Module/PDM/ESCL
• Faulty Smartkey Module
• Faulty PDM
• Faulty ESCL control Module

Diagnostic Circuit Diagram

B1978 Electric Steering Column Lock Failure > Scantool Diagnostics

Monitor Scantool data
■ Check DTC status
1. Check DTC on PDM side with scantool.
2. Check that there is any DTC on PDM side or ESCL side.
3. Inspect DTC related ESCL first if there is any DTC on the PDM side according to DTC troubleshooting guide.
4. After inspetion and repair, erase DTC related ESCL.
5. Erase DTC B1971 ESCL failure on Smartkey Module side.
6. Has the DTC gone after erasing DTC with scantool ?
▶ Check poor connection between harness connector and ESCL, PDM or Smartkey Module
: Thoroughly check the looseness, poor connection, bent, corrison, contamination, deformation or damage
of connector. Repair or replace as necessary and then, go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
▶ Go to check current dat as follows if there is DTC B1971 ESCL failure.
■ Check current Data
1. Select current data parameters related Smartkey Module with scantool.
2. Monitor "ESCL ENABLE" and "SMK State" are normal.
3. Select current data parameter related PDM.
4. Monitor "ESCL BATTERY OUTPUT" , "ESCL GND OUTPUT" and "ESCL UNLOCK STATE INPUT" are normal.

Specification : - Current Data parameter related Smartkey Module -

[Link] ENABLE : It is ON, if IPM sends enable signal to ESCL
[Link] State : It shows ESCL current status. It shows ESCL FAULURE if there is a failure

Specification : - Current Data parameter related PDM -

[Link] BATTERY OUTPUT : It will be changed form OFF to ON when PDM supplies operation voltage
with PDM.
[Link] GND OUTPUT : It will be changed form OFF to ON when PDM supplies operation voltage with
PDM.
[Link] UNLOCK STATE INPUT : In case that ESCL bolts is unlock, it will be ON.

5. Are all parameters related ESCL funtioning normally ?

▶ Check poor connection between harness connector and ESCL, PDM or Smartkey Module
: Thoroughly check the looseness, poor connection, bent, corrison, contamination, deformation or damage
of connector. Repair or replace as necessary and then, go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
▶ Check harness and system related ESCL if "SMK STATE" is shown ESCL FAILURE
▶ If there is any parameter on the system or harness displayed abnormal, check harness and system.
▶ Go to "Inspection & Repair " procedure.

B1978 Electric Steering Column Lock Failure > Inspection/Repair > W/Harness Inspection
Terminal and Connector Inspection
1. Many malfunctions in the electrical system are caused by poor harness and terminals.
Faults can also be caused by interference from other electrical systems, and mechanical or chemical damage.
2. Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration,or damage.
3. Has a problem been found?
▶ Repair as necessary and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.

▶ Go to "Check ESCL Circuit " procedure.

Check ESCL circuit

■ Check short to ground in ESCL circuit.
1. IG KEY OFF
2. Disconnect ESCL control Module, PDM and Smartkey Module connector.
3. Measure resistance between all the terminals of ESCL harness connector and chassis ground.

Specification : Infinite

4. Is the measured resistance within specification ?

▶ Go to "Check short to battery in ESCL harness " procedure.

▶ Repair or replace as necessary and then, go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair"procedure.

■ Check short to battery in ESCL harness

1. IG KEY OFF.
2. Disconnect ESCL control Module, PDM and SMARTKEY Module connector.
3. Measure resistance between each terminal of ESCL control Module harness connector and chassis ground.

Specification : About 0V
4. Is the measured voltage within specification ?
▶ Go to "check open in ESCL harness " as follows

▶ Repair or replace the short to battery as necessary and then, go to 'Verification of Vehicle Repair"
procedure.

■ Check open in ESCL harness

1. IG KEY OFF.
2. Disconnect ESCL control Module, PDM and Smartkey Module connector.
3. Measure resistance between one and the other terminal of ESCL control module harness connector or IPM harness connector.

Specification : About below 1Ω

4. Is the measured resistance within specification ?
▶ Check poor connection between harness connector and ESCL Control Module, PDM or Smartkey
Module
: Thoroughly check the looseness, poor connection, bent, corrison, contamination, deformation or damage
of connector. Repair or replace as necessary and then, go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
▶ After replacing ESCL control module or Smartkey Module, perform Key teaching procedure with scantool.
▶ Repair open in harness or replace as necessary and then, go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair"
procedure.

B1978 Electric Steering Column Lock Failure > Verification of Vehicle Repair
Verification of Vehicle Repair
After a repair, it is essential to verify that the fault has been corrected.
1. Connect scantool and selet "Diagnostic Trouble Codes(DTCs)" mode and then clear DTC.
2. Operate the vehicle and monitor the DTC on the scantool.
3. Are any DTCs present?
▶ Go to the applicable troubleshooting procedure.

▶ System is performing to specification at this time.
