(1) Do not subject any parts such as ECUs and relays to any impact. Replace them with new ones if dropped or subjected to a strong impact.

(2) Do not expose any electronic parts to high temperatures or humidity.

(3) In order to prevent deformation or malfunctions due to static electricity, do not touch the connector terminals.

(b) When handling the power steering ECU assembly:

(1) When replacing the power steering ECU assembly, make sure to replace each power steering ECU assembly with a new one.

NOTICE:

Do not use a power steering ECU assembly intended from another Toyota Prius vehicle (demo models, etc.).

(c) When disconnecting and reconnecting the connectors:

(1) Before disconnecting connectors related to the power steering system, turn the ignition switch to ON, center the steering wheel, turn the ignition switch off, and then disconnect the connectors.

(2) Before reconnecting connectors related to the power steering system, ensure that the ignition switch is off. Then center the steering wheel and turn the ignition switch to ON.

NOTICE:

Do not turn the ignition switch to ON when the steering wheel is not centered.

PRECAUTIONS FOR CAN COMMUNICATION

(a) CAN communication lines are used to receive information from the No.2 skid control ECU (brake actuator assembly) and hybrid Toyota Prius vehicle control ECU and to transmit warnings to the combination meter assembly. When problems are detected in the CAN communication lines, CAN communication DTCs are stored.

(b) If any CAN communication system DTCs are output, perform troubleshooting for the CAN communication system first.

(c) The wiring used for each communication line is a twisted pair of wires that have an equal length. Do not temporarily repair a CAN communication line with a bypass wire or equivalent.

HINT:

  • If the power steering assist stops, the EPS warning light comes on (red).
  • If the amount of power assist is reduced, the EPS warning light comes on (yellow) and a vibration or sound may occur.
  • The amount of power assist may be decreased to prevent the motor and ECUs from overheating if the steering wheel is continuously turned when the Toyota Prius vehicle is either stopped or being driven at a low speed, or if the steering wheel is kept at either full lock position for a long time. In such cases, the amount of power assist returns to normal when the steering wheel is not turned for approximately 10 minutes with the ignition switch ON (READY).
  • If the auxiliary battery is not sufficiently charged or the voltage decreases temporarily, the amount of power assist will be reduced and the EPS warning light will come on. In such cases, the amount of power assist returns to normal when the auxiliary battery voltage recovers.

Data List / Active Test

DATA LIST / ACTIVE TEST

DATA LIST

HINT:

Using the GTS to read the Data List allows the values or states of switches, sensors, actuators and other items to be read without removing any parts. This non-intrusive inspection can be very useful because intermittent conditions or signals may be discovered before parts or wiring is disturbed. Reading the Data List information early in troubleshooting is one way to save diagnostic time.

NOTICE:

In the table below, the values listed under "Normal Condition" are reference values. Do not depend solely on these reference values when deciding whether a part is faulty or not.

(a) Turn the ignition switch off.

(b) Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

(c) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(d) Turn the GTS on.

(e) Enter the following menus: Chassis / EMPS / Data List.

HINT:

  • With the Toyota Prius vehicle stopped or driving very slowly, if the steering wheel is turned repeatedly or turned to a lock position and the vehicle is driven for an extended period of time, the amount of power assist is decreased to prevent overheating of the motor and ECU. If this occurs, do not turn the steering wheel for approximately 10 minutes with engine running to improve power assist.
  • If the battery is not sufficiently charged or the voltage decreases temporarily, the amount of power assist is reduced and the EPS warning light comes on. In such cases, the amount of power assist returns to normal when the battery voltage recovers.
  • *1: Depending on the Toyota Prius vehicle, this item may not be displayed.

VEHICLE CONTROL HISTORY (RoB)

VEHICLE CONTROL HISTORY (RoB)

DESCRIPTION

  • Vehicle Control History is a function that captures and stores ECU data when triggered by specific vehicle behavior.
  • It may be possible to determine the cause of the malfunction by checking the vehicle history information and freeze frame data.
  • The number of possible stored Freeze Frame Data sets, whether multi Freeze Frame Data is available, the number of freeze frame points, Freeze Frame Data items, the ECU internal range, etc., is different depending on the stored group.
  • The stored data items for Toyota Prius Vehicle Control History Freeze Frame Data are different depending on the stored group. When the value of a data item does not change across all points, only the value of the detection point will be displayed. The contents of the Freeze Frame Data is almost the same as that of the Data List.

PRECAUTIONS

  • As Toyota Prius Vehicle Control History may be overwritten whenever the trigger conditions are met, make sure to save Vehicle Control History before performing any inspections.
  • As Vehicle Control History may be stored when performing an Active Test, learning, etc., make sure to clear the Vehicle Control History before returning the Toyota Prius vehicle to the customer.
