“Data Monitor” indicate 100%?
YES >> GO TO 6.
NO >> GO TO 4.
4.CHECK EPS CONTROL UNIT SIGNAL (2)
With CONSULT
Select “BATTERY VOLT” in “Data Monitor” of “EPS”.
Does the item in
“Data Monitor” indicate 10 V or more?
YES >> GO TO 5.
NO >> Perform trouble diagnosis of EPS control unit power supply and ground. Refer to STC-18, "
Diag-
nosis Procedure".
5.CHECK EPS CONTROL UNIT SIGNAL (3)
With CONSULT
1. Select “ASSIST LEVEL” in “Data Monitor” of “EPS”.
2. Stop the EPS system until the item in “Data Monitor” becomes “100%”.
NOTE:
While stopping the EPS system, do not turn steering wheel.
3. Check that the symptom continues.
Does the symptom continue?
YES >> GO TO 6.
NO >> The assist torque decreases because of protection function. This is not malfunction. Inspection End.
6.CHECK EPS CONTROL UNIT SIGNAL (4)
With CONSULT
1. Start the engine. CAUTION:
