the table below and if abnormal symptom is detected, perform necessary remedy
and inspection.
Test condition
|
Normal condition: Motor must not supply steering assist.
|
Symptom
|

|
Inspect the IG power supply line.
|
Test condition
|
Normal condition: Motor must not supply steering assist, Warning lamp is
illuminated.
|
Symptom
|
Possible cause
|
Remedy
|
IG On/Engine Off
|
Motor supplies steering assist.
|
ASP is not calibrated.
|
Perform the ASP calibration using a scan tool.
|
EMS CAN signal is not received.
|
Inspect the CAN line.
|

|
Symptom
|
Possible cause
|
Remedy
|
IG On/Engine On
|
Warning lamp is illuminated and Motor dose not supply steering assist.
|
EPS (Hot at all times) and IG power supply fault
|
Inspect the connector and harness for EPS (Hot at all times) and IG power
supply line.
|
DTC is detected by system.
|
Perform the self test using a scan tool and repair or replace.
|
Warning lamp is illuminated and Motor supplies steering assist.
|
ASP is not calibrated.
|
Perform the ASP calibration using a scan tool.
|
CAN communication between EPS and cluster is fault.
|
Inspect the CAN line.
|
ASP: Absolute Steering Position
CAN: Controller Area Network
EMS: Engine Management System
The following symptoms may occur during normal vehicle operation and
if there is no EPS warning light illumination, it is not malfunction
of EPS system.
• |
After turning the ignition switch on, the steering wheel becomes
heavier while it performs EPS system diagnostics, for about
2 seconds, then it becomes normal steering condition.
|
• |
After turning the ignition switch on or off, EPS relay noise
may occur but it is normal.
|
• |
When it is steered, while the vehicle is stopped or in low driving
speed, motor noise may occur but it is normal operating one.
