INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Note

If the power steering ECU and steering column assembly have been replaced, perform the rotation angle sensor initialization and torque sensor zero point calibration Click here.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK CONNECTOR CONNECTION CONDITION


    1. Check the installation condition of the power steering motor connector.

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

    NG
    OK
  2. READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (MOTOR VOLTAGE)


    1. Turn the engine switch off.

    2. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

    3. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

    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.
