EPS Warning Light Circuit |
DESCRIPTION
Perform the following troubleshooting procedure when the EPS warning light remains on after the engine is started, but no DTCs are stored.
HINT:
- If the power steering ECU (rack and pinion power steering gear assembly) detects a malfunction in the power source voltage input (IG) circuit, the EPS warning light illuminates.
- If the power steering ECU (rack and pinion power steering gear assembly) detects a drop in the power voltage input (IG and PIG) circuit, the force required to turn the steering wheel may increase, the EPS warning light turns on in order to warn the driver.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
NOTICE:
-
If the rack and pinion power steering gear assembly has been replaced, perform power steering ECU initial setting.

- Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.
PROCEDURE
|
1. |
CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR |
(a) Jiggle the rack and pinion power steering gear assembly connectors and wire harness up and down, and left and right to check the illumination condition of the EPS warning light in the combination meter assembly.
OK:
The EPS warning light illumination condition does not change.
HINT:
for Gasoline Model:
- When the EPS warning light is operating properly, it illuminates when the ignition switch is turned to ON and turns off when the engine is started.
for HV Model:
- When the EPS warning light is operating properly, it illuminates when the power switch is turned on (IG) and turns off when the power switch on (READY).
