Mark X electric steering column issue

I've got a 2011 Toyota Mark X with a gasoline engine. The electric steering column adjustment is defective. There's an error stored and the steering column can no longer be adjusted electrically. I suspect a defective cable or plug connection. Has anyone experienced something similar?

A 2011 Toyota Mark X owner experienced a defect in the electric steering column adjustment, suspecting a faulty cable or plug connection. After checking the fuses and finding them intact, it was suggested to have the issue professionally diagnosed. The workshop confirmed a defective cable, which was replaced, resolving the problem.

Sounds familiar. I had a similar issue with my old BMW 5 series. The electric steering adjustment just quit. Did you check all the fuses related to the steering system?

Thanks for the tip. I've checked the fuses, all seem fine. Was the problem on your BMW also the cable or plug?

Nah, on my BMW, turned out to be a faulty motor in the steering column itself. But since you suspect a cable or plug, and the fuses are okay, I'd suggest taking it to a workshop. They'll be able to diagnose it properly. Could save you a lot of time and guesswork.

Thanks for the advice! I took it to a workshop, and you were right, they diagnosed it properly and replaced a defective cable. The repair cost was 95€. Everything is working fine now!
