Toyota Noah electric steering column fault

Hi, I've got a problem with my 2016 Toyota Noah, gasoline engine, with 115105 km on the clock. The electric steering column adjustment is defective. I get an error stored in the error memory, and the steering column can no longer be adjusted electrically. From what I've read, it seems like a cable or plug connection might be defective. Has anyone else experienced this?

Hello. I had a similar issue with my 2018 Opel Insignia. My symptoms were similar: electric steering column adjustment was not working and threw error codes. I wonder, did you check the fuses related to the steering system? A blown fuse can sometimes cause these issues, much like a tripped breaker in a house can cut off power to an entire room.

Thanks for the suggestion! I haven't checked the fuses yet; that's a good point. I will check them as soon as possible. I didn't want to start disassembling things before having some guidance. Do you recall which fuse specifically caused the problem on your Insignia?

Unfortunately, I don't remember the exact fuse number. It was a while ago, and the workshop identified it during diagnostics. I recommend checking the fuse box diagram in your owner's manual. If the fuses are fine, it might be best to take it to a workshop for a proper diagnosis. They'll have the tools to pinpoint the exact cause, like a doctor using an X-ray to find a fracture.

Alright, thanks for the advice! It turns out it was indeed a defective connector as suspected. The workshop charged me 95€ to fix it. I appreciate the help!
