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.
• Clear the DTC from the memory.
• Is the same Pending DTC present?
|
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.
