uuIndicator, Coming On/Blinking uIf the Electric Power Steering (EPS) System Indicator Comes On
Handling the Unexpected
If the Electric Power Steeri ng (EPS) System Indicator
Comes On
■Reasons for the indicator to come on
• Comes on when there is a problem with the EPS system.
• If you depress the accelerator pedal repeatedly to increase the engine
speed while the engine is idling, the indicator comes on, and
sometimes the steering wheel becomes harder to operate.
• Comes on when EPS steering angle cent er point memory is lost. This
could be due to a number of problems to include: battery disconnect,
main fuse blow, low battery caus ing reset of the EPS system, wire
damage to EPS harness. Vehi cle Stability Assist (VSA®), VSA® OFF,
Collision Mitigation Braking System
TM (CMBSTM)*, and low tire
pressure/TPMS* indicators also come on with EPS indicator.
The Drive Carefully Systems Initializing... message appears on the
driver information interface.
■What to do when the indicator comes on
• Stop the vehicle in a safe place and restart the engine.
If the indicator comes on and stays on, immediately have your vehicle
inspected by a dealer.
• If the EPS indicator, VSA ® indicator, VSA® OFF indicator, CMBS
TM
indicator*, and low tire pressure/TPMS indicator* come on
simultaneously, you need to ca librate the VSA and EPS systems.
Drive straight for a short distance at more than 12 mph (20 km/h) to
calibrate the VSA and EPS systems.
If the indicators come on and stay on, park your vehicle in a safe
place, turn off and restart the engine, then repeat the above
operation.
If the indicators still come on and stay on, immediately have your
vehicle inspected by a dealer.
