      *1

      Component with harness connected

      (Power Steering ECU)

      Check the connection condition of the z10 power steering motor connector.

      OK
      Power steering motor connector is securely connected and locked to the power steering ECU.

    NG

    CONNECT CONNECTOR SECURELY

    OK

  2. READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (MOTOR VOLTAGE)


    1. Turn the ignition switch off.

    2. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

    3. Start the engine.

    4. Turn the intelligent tester on.

    5. Enter the following menus: Chassis / EMPS / Data List.

    6. Select the items "Motor Terminal Volt(U)", "Motor Terminal Volt(V)" and "Motor Terminal Volt(W)" in the Data List and read the value displayed on the intelligent tester.
