Tilt Sensor Circuit Inspection

Check the operation malfunction caused by steering wheel tilt mechanism deformation or parts are loose.

OK or NG 

1. OK: GO TO 2.
2. NG: Repair the malfunctioning part and check again.

With CONSULT-II 

With "TILT SEN" on the DATA MONITOR, operate the tilt switch to check that the voltage changes.

1. Disconnect BCM connector and tilt sensor connector.
2. Check continuity harness between BCM connector M4 terminals 46 (P/L), 53 (L/W), 54 (LG/B) and tilt sensor connector M57 terminals 1 (LG/B), 2 (P/L), 3 (L/W).
   1. 46 (P/L) - 2 (P/L): Continuity should exist. 
   2. 53 (L/W) - 3 (L/W): Continuity should exist. 
   3. 54 (LG/B) - 1 (LG/B): Continuity should exist. 
3. BCM connector M4 terminals 46 (P/L), 53 (L/W), 54 (LG/B) and ground.
   1. 46 (P/L) - Ground: Continuity should not exist. 
   2. 53 (L/W) - Ground: Continuity should not exist. 
   3. 54 (LG/B) - Ground: Continuity should not exist. 

OK or NG 

1. OK: Replace tilt sensor.
2. NG: Repair or replace harness between BCM and tilt sensor.
