Battery power supply
DETECTION CONDITION
•  Voltage of 8 V or less detected by EPS CM internal ignition voltage observation.
FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION
•  Control is maintained by gradually decreasing the motor control current
―  However, control is inhibited if the power supply voltage is the specified value of less.
•  Power steering malfunction indication: Illuminated/Indicated
POSSIBLE CAUSE
•  Battery and/or generator malfunction
•  EPAS 60A fuse malfunction

Diagnostic Procedure

Step

Inspection

Action

1
INSPECT BATTERY VOLTAGE
•  Is the battery terminal voltage normal?
Yes
Make sure that battery terminal connection is okay.
Go to the next step.
No
Charge or replace the battery, then go to Step 7.
2
INSPECT BATTERY GRAVITY
•  Is the battery specific gravity as specified?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Replace the battery, then go to Step 7.
3
INSPECT CHARGING SYSTEM
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Replace the generator and/or drive belt if necessary.
Go to Step 7.
4
INSPECT FUSE CONDITION
•  Is the fuse (EPAS 60A) normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Replace the fuse, then go to Step 7.
5
INSPECT EPS CM POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR OPEN OR SHORT CIRCUIT
•  Switch the ignition ON (engine off).
•  Measure the voltage between the EPS CM terminal 1B (wiring harness-side) and body ground.
•  Is the voltage 8 V or more?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace the wiring harness (including fuse) between the EPS CM terminal 1B and body ground, then go to Step 7.
6
INSPECT EPS CM GROUND CIRCUIT FOR POOR GROUND OR OPEN CIRCUIT
•  Switch the ignition off.
•  Inspect for continuity between EPS CM terminal 1A and body ground.
•  Is there continuity?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace the wiring harness between EPS CM terminal 1A and body ground, then go to the next step.
7
VERIFY THAT THE SAME DTC IS NOT PRESENT
•  Make sure to reconnect all disconnected connectors.
Yes
Repeat the inspection from Step 1.
If the malfunction recurs, replace the EPS CM, then go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
8
VERIFY THAT NO OTHER DTCS ARE PRESENT
•  Are any other DTCs output?
Yes
Go to the applicable DTC inspection.
No
DTC troubleshooting completed.
