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 if 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: 12-volt battery
disconnect, main fuse blow, low battery causing reset of the EPS
system, or wire damage to the EPS harness. The Vehicle Stability
Assist ® (VSA ®) system, Vehicle Stability Assist ® (VSA®) OFF, adaptive
cruise control (ACC) with low speed follow (LSF), safety support, and
low tire pressure/TPMS indicators al so come on in amber along with a
message in the driver information interface.
■What to do when the indicator comes on
• Stop the vehicle in a safe place and turn on the power system again.
If the indicator comes on and stays on, immediately have your vehicle
inspected by a dealer.
• If the Vehicle Stability Assist ® (VSA®) system, Vehicle Stability Assist ®
(VSA ®) OFF, adaptive cruise control ( ACC) with low speed follow (LSF),
safety support, and low ti re pressure/TPMS indicato rs also come on in
amber along with a message in th e 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 restart the pow er system, then repeat the above
operation.
If the indicators still come on and stay on, immediately have your
vehicle inspected by a dealer.
