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 motor
speed while the motor is idling, the indicator comes on, and
sometimes the steering wheel becomes harder to operate.
• Comes on when the EPS st eering angle center point memory is lost.
This could be due to a number of problems including: battery
disconnection, main fuse blow, low battery causing the reset of the
EPS system, wire damage to EPS harness. Vehicle Stability Assist
(VSA ®), VSA ® OFF, Collision Mitigation Braking System
TM (CMBSTM),
and low tire pressure/TPMS indicato rs come on along with a message
in the driver information interface.
■What to do when the indicator comes on
• Stop the vehicle in a safe place, tu rn off the power system, and turn
on the power system again.
If the indicator re-appears and stays on, immediately have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized Ho nda Clarity Electric dealer.
• If VSA ® indicator, VSA ® OFF indicator, CMBS
TM indicator, and low tire
pressure/TPMS indicator come on alo ng with a message in the driver
information interface, you need to calibrate the VSA and EPS systems.
Drive 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 turn on the po wer system, then repeat the above
operation.
If the indicators still come on and stay on, immediately have your
vehicle inspected by an authorized Honda Clarity Electric dealer.

uuIndicator, Coming On/Blinking uIf the Low Tire Pressure/TPMS Indicator Comes On or Blinks
Handling the Unexpected
If the Low Tire Pressure/TPMS Indicator Comes On or
Blinks
■Reasons for the indicator to come on or blink
A tire pressure is signifi cantly low, or the TPMS has not been calibrated.
If there is a problem with the TPMS, the indicator blinks for about one
minute, and then stays on.
■What to do when the indicator comes on
Drive carefully and avoid abrupt cornering and hard braking.
Stop your vehicle in a safe place. Ch eck the tire pressure and adjust the
pressure to the specified level. The sp ecified tire pressure is on a label on
the driver’s side doorjamb.
u Calibrate the TPMS after the tire pressure is adjusted.
■What to do when the indicator blinks, then remains on
Have the tire inspected by an authorized Honda Clarity Electric dealer as
soon as possible.
1 If the Low Tire Pressure/TPMS Indicator Comes On or Blinks
NOTICE
Driving on an extremely unde rinflated tire can cause
it to overheat. An overheated tire can fail. Always
inflate your tires to the prescribed level.
