DTC B2610: Tilt Position Sensor or Tilt Motor Circuit Malfunction [08/2013 - ]: Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Lexus ES 300h. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (TILT OPERATION)
- Turn the power switch off.
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the power switch on (IG).
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Check that the steering wheel tilts up and down.
- Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Tilt & Telescopic / Active Test.TILT & TELESCOPIC
Tester Display Test Part Control Range Diagnostic Note Tilt Operation Tilt operation UP/DOWN - OK
The steering wheel tilts up and down.

OK: Go to next step
- Turn the power switch off.
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (MULTIPLEX TILT AND TELESCOPIC ECU - AUXILIARY BATTERY)
- Disconnect the H12 multiplex tilt and telescopic ECU connector.
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition H12-2 (+B) - Body ground Always 11 to 14 V TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*a Front view of wire harness connector
(to Multiplex Tilt and Telescopic ECU)
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: Go to next step
- Disconnect the H12 multiplex tilt and telescopic ECU connector.
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (MULTIPLEX TILT AND TELESCOPIC ECU - BODY GROUND)
- Disconnect the H12 multiplex tilt and telescopic ECU connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition H12-1 (GND) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω H12-8 (GND2) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*a Front view of wire harness connector
(to Multiplex Tilt and Telescopic ECU)
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: Go to next step
- Disconnect the H12 multiplex tilt and telescopic ECU connector.
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (MULTIPLEX TILT AND TELESCOPIC ECU - TILT MOTOR)
- Disconnect the H12 multiplex tilt and telescopic ECU connector.
- Disconnect the H17 tilt motor connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition H12-7 (TIM+) - H17-2 (TIM+) Always Below 1 Ω H12-20 (TIM-) - H17-1 (TIM-) H12-7 (TIM+) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher H12-20 (TIM-) - Body ground
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK TILT MOTOR
- Apply 12 V battery voltage to the tilt motor connector.
Then check the steering wheel tilt operation.
OK
Measurement Condition Specified Condition - 12 V battery positive (+) lead → Terminal 1 (TIM-)
- 12 V battery negative (-) lead → Terminal 2 (TIM+)
The steering wheel tilts down. - 12 V battery positive (+) lead → Terminal 2 (TIM+)
- 12 V battery negative (-) lead → Terminal 1 (TIM-)
The steering wheel tilts up. TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*a Component without harness connected

NG → See step 10
OK → See step 11
- Apply 12 V battery voltage to the tilt motor connector.
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (MULTIPLEX TILT AND TELESCOPIC ECU - TILT POSITION SENSOR)
- Disconnect the H12 multiplex tilt and telescopic ECU connector.
- Disconnect the H17 tilt motor connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition H12-13 (VCI) - H17-4 (VCI) Always Below 1 Ω H12-16 (TIS) - H17-5 (TIS) H12-4 (E1) - H17-6 (E1) H12-13 (VCI) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher H12-16 (TIS) - Body ground H12-4 (E1) - Body ground
NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: Go to next step
- CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (MULTIPLEX TILT AND TELESCOPIC ECU - BODY GROUND)
- Disconnect the H12 multiplex tilt and telescopic ECU connector.
- Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition H12-1 (GND) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω H12-8 (GND2) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*a Front view of wire harness connector

NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK: Go to next step
- Disconnect the H12 multiplex tilt and telescopic ECU connector.
- CHECK MULTIPLEX TILT AND TELESCOPIC ECU (VCI, TIS TERMINAL VOLTAGE)
- Disconnect the H17 tilt motor connector.
- Reconnect the H12 multiplex tilt and telescopic ECU connector.
- Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage
Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition H12-13 (VCI) - H12-4 (E1) Power switch on (IG) 8 to 16 V H12-16 (TIS) - H12-4 (E1) TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION*a Component with harness connected
