1991 LEXUS SC300 steering

166POWER TILT AND POWER TELESCOPIC
THIS SYSTEM OPERATES WITH BOTH THE TILT FUNCTION AND TELESCOPIC FUNCTION DRIVEN AUTOMATICALLY BY THE MOTOR
AND CONTROLLED BY THE ECU. THE STEERING CAN BE ADJUSTED STEPLESSLY FORWARD AND BACK, AND UP AND DOWN, TO
PROVIDE THE MOST SUITABLE STEERING POSITION FOR EASY DRIVING, WITH AUTOMATIC MOVEMENT OF THE STEERING TO A
POSITION WHICH FACILITATES GETTING IN AND OUT OF THE VEHICLE.
THE DRIVER CAN HAVE THE MOST APPROPRIATE DRIVING POSITION MEMORIZED BY OPERATING THE POWER SEAT AND REMOTE
CONTROL MIRROR TOGETHER WITH THE TILT AND POWER TELESCOPIC STEERING.
CURRENT IS ALWAYS APPLIED THROUGH THE
POWER FUSE TO TERMINAL +B OF THE TILT AND POWER TELESCOPIC ECU AND
THROUGH THE DOME FUSE TO TERMINAL BATT OF TILT AND POWER TELESCOPIC ECU.
WITH THE IGNITION SW TURNED ON, THE CURRENT FLOWS FROM ECU±IG FUSE TO TERMINAL IG AND FROM GAUGE FUSE TO
TERMINAL 9 OF A/T INDICATOR SW.
1. MANUAL TILT OPERATION
WHEN THE IGNITION KEY IS INSERTED INTO THE IGNITION KEY CYLINDER (UNLOCK WARNING SW ON), A SIGNAL IS INPUT TO
TERMINAL UWSW OF TILT AND POWER TELESCOPIC ECU. IF THE MANUAL SW IS PUSHED TO THE ªTILT UPº SIDE, CURRENT
FLOWS FROM TERMINAL VC OF TILT AND POWER TELESCOPIC ECU TO TERMINAL MSW OF TILT AND POWER TELESCOPIC ECU
PASSING THROUGH THE MANUAL SW. (THE ECU DETECTS THE MANUAL SW POSITION BY THE VOLUME OF CURRENT.)
AS A RESULT, TILT AND POWER TELESCOPIC ECU OPERATES AND THE CURRENT TO TERMINAL +B OF ECU FLOWS FROM
TERMINAL TIM+ " TERMINAL 1 OF COMB. SW " TERMINAL 2 OF TILT CONTROL MOTOR " TERMINAL 1 " TERMINAL 10 OF COMB.
SW "TERMINAL TIM± OF TILT AND POWER TELESCOPIC ECU " TERMINAL GND2 "GROUND , AND THE TILT UP FUNCTION
OPERATES AS LONG AS THE MANUAL SW IS PUSHED TO THE ªTILT UPº SIDE.
FOR ªTILT DOWNº OPERATION, WHEN THE MANUAL SW IS PUSHED TO THE DOWN SIDE, THE CURRENT FLOWING FROM ECU TO
MOTOR FLOWS TO TERMINAL TIM± OF TILT AND POWER TELESCOPIC ECU "TERMINAL 10 OF COMB. SW "TERMINAL 1 OF TILT
CONTROL MOTOR "TERMINAL 2 "TERMINAL 1 OF COMB. SW "TERMINAL TIM+ OF TILT AND POWER TELESCOPIC ECU, SO THE
MOTOR ROTATES IN THE REVERSE DIRECTION TO TILT UP OPERATION, AND TILT DOWN OPERATION OCCURS ONLY WHILE THE
MANUAL SW IS BEING PUSHED.
2. MANUAL TELESCOPIC OPERATION
WHEN THE IGNITION KEY IS INSERTED INTO THE IGNITION KEY CYLINDER (UNLOCK WARNING SW ON), A SIGNAL IS INPUT TO
TERMINAL UWSW OF TILT AND TELESCOPIC ECU. WHEN THE MANUAL SW IS PUSHED TOWARD ªTELESCOPIC SHORTº SIDE,
CURRENT FLOWS FROM TERMINAL VC OF TILT AND POWER TELESCOPIC ECU TO TERMINAL MSW OF TILT AND POWER
TELESCOPIC ECU THROUGH THE MANUAL SW.
AS A RESULT, THE TILT AND POWER TELESCOPIC ECU OPERATES AND THE CURRENT TO TERMINAL +B OF TILT AND POWER
TELESCOPIC ECU FLOWS FROM TERMINAL TEM+ OF TILT AND POWER TELESCOPIC ECU "TERMINAL 1 OF COMB. SW "
TERMINAL 2 OF TELESCOPIC CONTROL MOTOR "TERMINAL 1 "TERMINAL 4 OF COMB. SW "TERMINAL TEM± OF TILT AND
POWER TELESCOPIC ECU " TERMINAL GND2 "GROUND , AND ªTELESCOPIC SHORTº OPERATION OCCURS AS LONG AS THE
MANUAL SW IS PUSHED THE TO ªTELESCOPIC SHORTº SIDE.
FOR ªTELESCOPIC LONGº OPERATION, WHEN THE MANUAL SW IS PUSHED TO THE TELESCOPIC LONG SIDE, CURRENT FLOWING
FROM TILT AND POWER TELESCOPIC ECU TO THE MOTOR FLOWS THROUGH TERMINAL TEM± OF TILT AND POWER TELESCOPIC
ECU " TERMINAL 4 OF COMB. SW "TERMINAL 1 OF TELESCOPIC CONTROL MOTOR "TERMINAL 2 " TERMINAL 1 OF COMB. SW
" TERMINAL TEM+ OF TILT AND POWER TELESCOPIC ECU "TERMINAL GND2 "GROUND .
AS A RESULT, THE MOTOR ROTATES IN REVERSE TO THE TELESCOPIC SHORT MODE AND TELESCOPIC LONG OPERATION
OCCURS AS LONG AS THE MANUAL SW IS PUSHED TO THE ªTELESCOPIC LONGº SIDE.
3. AUTO AWAY OPERATION
WHEN THE IGNITION SW IS TURNED FROM ON TO OFF, THE CURRENT STOPS FLOWING FROM ECU±IG TO TERMINAL IG OF TILT
AND POWER TELESCOPIC ECU AND IS INPUT AS A SIGNAL THAT THE IGNITION SW IS OFF. WHEN THE AUTO SW IS TURNED ON, AN
ªAUTO SW ONº SIGNAL IS INPUT TO TERMINAL ASW OF TILT AND POWER TELESCOPIC ECU.
IF THE IGNITION KEY IS REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION KEY CYLINDER (UNLOCK WARNING SW OFF) AT THIS TIME, A SIGNAL IS
INPUT FROM TERMINAL UWSW OF TILT AND POWER TELESCOPIC ECU. ALSO, THE TILT POSITION SENSOR (COMB. SW) INPUTS
INTO TERMINAL TIS OF THE TILT AND TELESCOPIC ECU A SIGNAL OF THE STEERING TILT POSITION JUST BEFORE THE IGNITION
SW (FOR UNLOCK WARNING) IS TURNED FROM ON TO OFF.
AS A RESULT, THE TILT AND POWER TELESCOPIC ECU OPERATES AND THE CURRENT TO TERMINAL +B OF TILT AND POWER
TELESCOPIC FLOWS FROM TERMINAL TIM+ OF TILT AND POWER TELESCOPIC ECU "TERMINAL 1 OF COMB. SW "TERMINAL 2
OF TILT CONTROL MOTOR "TERMINAL 1 "TERMINAL 10 OF COMB. SW "TERMINAL TIM± OF TILT AND POWER TELESCOPIC ECU
" TERMINAL GND2 "GROUND , CAUSING THE MOTOR TO ROTATE SO THAT ªTILT UPº OPERATION OCCURS AUTOMATICALLY.
AT THE SAME TIME, THE CURRENT FROM TERMINAL +B OF TILT AND POWER TELESCOPIC ECU TO TERMINAL TEM+ FLOWS FROM
TERMINAL 1 OF COMB. SW "TERMINAL 2 OF TELESCOPIC CONTROL MOTOR "TERMINAL 1 "TERMINAL 4 OF COMB. SW "
TERMINAL TEM± OF TILT AND POWER TELESCOPIC ECU "TERMINAL GND2 "GROUND , CAUSING THE MOTOR TO ROTATE SO
THAT TELESCOPIC SHORT OPERATION OCCURS ON AUTO AND WITH TILT UP OPERATION OCCURRING SIMULTANEOUSLY ON
AUTO, AUTO AWAY OPERATION OCCURS.

4. AUTO RETURN OPERATION
WHEN THE STEERING IS IN ªAUTO AWAYº CONDITION AND THE IGNITION KEY IS INSERTED INTO THE IGNITION KEY CYLINDER
(UNLOCK WARNING SW ON), A SIGNAL IS INPUT TO TERMINAL UWSW OF TILT AND POWER TELESCOPIC ECU.
AS A RESULT, THE TILT AND POWER TELESCOPIC ECU OPERATES AND THE CURRENT TO TERMINAL +B OF TILT AND POWER
TELESCOPIC ECU FLOWS FROM TERMINAL TEM± OF TILT AND POWER TELESCOPIC ECU "TERMINAL 4 OF COMB. SW "
TERMINAL 1 OF TELESCOPIC CONTROL MOTOR "TERMINAL 2 " TERMINAL 1 OF COMB. SW " TERMINAL TEM+ OF TILT AND
POWER TELESCOPIC ECU " TERMINAL GND2 "GROUND , AND AT THE SAME TIME, CURRENT FLOWS FROM TERMINAL TIM± OF
TILT AND POWER TELESCOPIC ECU "TERMINAL 10 OF COMB. SW "TERMINAL 1 OF TILT CONTROL MOTOR "TERMINAL 2 "
TERMINAL 1 OF COMB. SW "TERMINAL TIM+ OF TILT AND POWER TELESCOPIC ECU "TERMINAL GND2 "GROUND , CAUSING
BOTH THE TILT CONTROL MOTOR AND TELESCOPIC CONTROL MOTOR TO ROTATE. THE MOTORS CONTINUE TO ROTATE UNTIL
THE SIGNALS INPUT FROM THE TILT POSITION SENSOR TO TERMINAL TIS OF TILT AND POWER TELESCOPIC ECU AND FROM THE
TELESCOPIC POSITION SENSOR TERMINAL TES OF TILT AND POWER TELESCOPIC ECU (SIGNALS INFORMING THE ECU OF THE
CURRENT POSITION OF THE STEERING) MATCH THE POSITION MEMORIZED BY THE ECU PRIOR TO AUTO AWAY OPERATION.
IN THIS WAY, THE STEERING POSITION IS AUTOMATICALLY RETURNED TO THE ORIGINAL POSITION.
WHEN THE IGNITION SW IS TURNED FROM OFF TO ON OR THE SHIFT LEVER IS SHIFTED TO A POSITION OTHER THAN P OR N,
AUTO OPERATION IS STOPPED.

SRS AIRBAG
NOTICE: When inspecting or repairing the SRS AIRBAG, perform the operation in accord\
ance with the
following precautionary instructions and the procedure and precautions in the Repair Manual for the applicable
model year.

Malfunction symptoms of the airbag system are difficult to confirm, so the diagnostic codes become the most
important source of information when troubleshooting.
When troubleshooting the airbag system, always inspect the diagnostic codes before disconnecting the
battery.

Work must be started after 30 seconds or longer from the time the Ignition SW is set to the ªLOCKº position
and the negative (±) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery.
(The airbag system is equipped with a back±up power source so that if work is started within 30 seconds of
disconnecting the negative (±) terminal cable of the battery, the airbag may be deployed.)
When the negative (±) terminal cable is disconnected from the battery, memory of the clock and audio systems
will be cancelled. So before starting work, make a record of the contents memorized by each me\
mory system.
Then when work is finished, reset the clock and audio system as before.
When the vehicle has tilt and telescopic steering, power seat, outside r\
ear view mirror and power shoulder
belt anchorage, which are all equipped with memory function, it is not possible to make a record of the memory
contents. So when the operation is finished, it will be necessary to explain this\
fact to the customer, and
request the customer to adjust the features and reset the memory.
To avoid erasing the memory of each memory system, never use a back±up \
power supply from outside the
vehicle.

When removing the steering wheel pad or handling a new steering wheel pad, keep the pad upper surfa\
ce
facing upward. Also, lock the lock lever of the twin lock type connector\
at the rear of the pad and take care
not to damage the connector.
(Storing the pad with its metallic surface up may lead to a serious accident if \
the airbag inflates for some
reason).

Store the steering wheel pad where the ambient temperature remains below\
93 °C (200 °F), without high
humidity and away from electrical noise.

Never use airbag parts from another vehicle. When replacing airbag parts\
, replace them with new parts.

Never disassemble or repair the steering wheel pad, center airbag sensor asse\
mbly or front airbag sensors.

Before repairing the body, remove the airbag sensors if during repair shocks are likely to be app\
lied to the
sensors due to vibration of the body or direct tapping with tools or oth\
er parts.

Do not reuse a steering wheel pad or front airbag sensors.
After evaluating whether the center airbag sensor assembly is damaged or not, decide whether or not to reuse
it. (See the Repair Manual for the method for evaluating the center airbag\
sensor assembly.)

When troubleshooting the airbag system, use a high±impedance (Min. 1\
0k W/V) tester.

The vehicle wiring harness exclusively for the airbag system is distinguish\
ed by corrugated yellow tubing, as
are the connectors.

Do not measure the resistance of the airbag squib.
(It is possible this will deploy the airbag and is very dangerous.)

If the wire harness used in the airbag system is damaged, replace the wh\
ole wire harness assembly.
When the connector to the airbag front sensors can be repaired alone (when \
there is no damage to the wire
harness), use the repair wire specially designed for the purpose.
(Refer to the Repair Manual for the applicable Model year for details o\
f the replacement method.)

INFORMATION LABELS (NOTICES) are attached to the periphery of the airbag componen\
ts. Follow the
instructions on the notices.

THE SRS (SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM) AIRBAG IS A DRIVER PROTECTION DEVICE WHICH HAS A SUPPLEMENTAL ROLE
TO THE SEAT BELTS.
CURRENT FLOWS CONSTANTLY TO TERMINAL 6 OF THE CENTER AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY. WHEN THE IGNITION SW IS
TURNED TO ACC OR ON, CURRENT FROM THE CIG FUSE FLOWS TO TERMINAL 14 OF THE CENTER AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY.
ONLY WHEN THE IGNITION SW IS ON DOES THE CURRENT FROM THE IGN FUSE TO TERMINAL 7 .
IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURS WHILE DRIVING, DECELERATION CAUSED BY A FRONTAL IMPACT IS DETECTED BY EACH SENSOR AND
SWITCH, AND WHEN THE FRONTAL IMPACT EXCEEDS A SET LEVEL (WHEN THE SAFING SENSOR BUILT INTO THE CENTER AIRBAG
SENSOR ASSEMBLY IS ON AND THE CENTER AIRBAG SENSOR IS ON, FRONT AIRBAG SENSORS ARE OFF), CURRENT \
FROM THE
CIG OR IGN FUSE FLOWS TO TERMINAL 11 OF THE CENTER AIRBAG SENSOR ASSEMBLY " TERMINAL 1 OF THE AIRBAG SQUIB "
