DTC U0423:00

Signal (engine switch status) error from instrument cluster

DETECTION CONDITION

•  Error detected in signal from instrument cluster via CAN communication

FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION

•  Control enabled

―  If the EPS CM detects the signal that a engine speed is below the specified value, it disables assistance

•  Power steering malfunction indicator light: Not illuminated

―  If the EPS CM detects the signal that a engine speed is below the specified value, it illuminates the power steering malfunction indicator light

POSSIBLE CAUSE

•  EPS CM detects the signal that a engine speed is below the specified value

•  Abnormal engine switch status is detected

•  PCM malfunction

•  Instrument cluster malfunction

Diagnostic Procedure

Step

Inspection

Action

1

INSPECT FOR INSTRUMENT CLUSTER MALFUNCTION

•  Using the M-MDS, perform the DTC inspection for the instrument cluster.
(See DTC INSPECTION [INSTRUMENT CLUSTER].)

•  Are any DTCs detected?

Yes

Go to applicable DTC inspection.

(See DTC TABLE [INSTRUMENT CLUSTER].)

DTC troubleshooting completed, then go to the next step.

No

Go to the next step.

2

VERIFY EPS STATUS

•  Start the engine.

•  Turn the steering wheel to the right and left.

•  Is the assist force generated?

Yes

Go to Step 3.

No

Using the M-MDS, perform the tachometer inspection.

(See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER INSPECTION.)

If the tachometer is abnormal, inspect for the PCM malfunction and the related wiring harnesses.

(See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TEST [PCM (WITHOUT CYLINDER DEACTIVATION (SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5))].)

(See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TEST [PCM (WITH CYLINDER DEACTIVATION (SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5))].)

(See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TEST [PCM (SKYACTIV-G 2.5T)].)

(See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TEST [PCM (SKYACTIV-D 2.2)].)

If the PCM and related wiring harnesses are normal, replace the instrument cluster

(See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

Inspection/replacement completed, then go to the next step.

3

VERIFY THAT THE SAME DTC IS NOT PRESENT

•  Make sure to reconnect all disconnected connectors.

•  Clear the DTC from the memory.
(See ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) ON-BOARD DIAGNOSIS [ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS)].)

•  Is the same DTC present?
(See ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) ON-BOARD DIAGNOSIS [ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS)].)

Yes

Repeat the inspection from Step 1.

If the malfunction recurs, replace the EPS CM, then go to the next step.

(See STEERING WHEEL AND COLUMN REMOVAL/INSTALLATION.)

No

Go to the next step.

4

VERIFY THAT NO OTHER DTCS ARE PRESENT

•  Are any other DTCs output?

Yes

Go to the applicable DTC inspection.

(See ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) ON-BOARD DIAGNOSIS [ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS)].)

No

DTC troubleshooting completed.
