Power steering column doesn't move when remote started

Question

I have power tilt/telescopic steering column on my 2010 Toyota Tundra. During normal start up, I inserted the key the steering column move into present position. During remote start, the steering column doesn't move and when i get in the truck and insert the key nothing happend. Is there a wire that need to be connected?

Answer 1

Vehicles with memory features sometimes do this. It works on normal start because the car is recognizing your key and the positioning of the steering wheel is already set for whatever that key uses. On remote start, the car does not know yet where to set the steering wheel.  

 

This should set the steering wheel on every remote start afterwards. 

• Sit in the car and close the doors.
• Remote start the vehicle, wait a few seconds
• Set the steering wheel to where you want it (if you have memory buttons on your door, you might need to press one of them). 
• Shut down the car with by pressing on the brake or the remote buttons.
