TROUBLE DIAGNOSISPFP:00004
Fail-Safe FunctionUGS0008G
If any malfunction occurs in the system, and control unit detects the malfunction, EPS warning lamp on
combination meter turns ON to indicate system malfunction.
When EPS warning lamp is ON, enters a manual steering state. (Control turning force steering wheel
becomes heavy.)
How to Perform Trouble DiagnosisUGS00090
BASIC CONCEPT
To perform trouble diagnosis, it is the must to have understanding about vehicle systems (control and
mechanism) thoroughly.
It is also important to clarify customer complaints before starting
the inspection.
First of all, reproduce the symptoms, and understand them fully.
Ask customer about his/her complaints carefully. In some cases,
it will be necessary to check symptoms by driving vehicle with
customer.
CAUTION:
Customers are not professionals. It is dangerous to make
an easy guess like “maybe the customer means that...” or
“maybe the customer mentions this symptom”.
It is essential to check symptoms right from the beginning in
order to repair malfunctions completely.
For intermittent malfunctions, reproduce symptoms based on
interview with customer and past examples. Do not perform
inspection on ad hoc basis. Most intermittent malfunctions are
caused by poor contacts. In this case, it will be effective to shake
suspected harness or connector by hand. When repairing with-
out any symptom diagnosis, you cannot judge if malfunctions
has actually been eliminated.
PRECAUTIONS FOR TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Be sure to check the procedures of the trouble diagnosis in advance. Refer to STC-7, "How to Perform
Trouble Diagnosis" .
Always erase memory after completing trouble diagnosis. Refer to STC-13, "How to Erase Self-Diagnostic
Results" .
Checking continuity and voltage between units, be sure to check connector terminals for disconnection,
looseness, bend, or collapse. Repair or replace applicable part if any non-standard condition is detected.
Be careful not to forcibly extend any connector terminal if a circuit tester is used for the check.
Always confirm the general precautions. Refer to GI-4, "General Precautions" .
INTERVIEW
Complaints vary depending on the person. It is important to clar-
ify the customer's actual remarks.
Ask the customer about what symptoms occur under what con-
ditions. Use the information to reproduce the symptom of con-
firm by vehicle.
