- Connector condition malfunction
- Torque sensor malfunction
- EPS motor malfunction
- Fuse malfunction
- EPS control module malfunction
• EPS control module detects an EPS system malfunction even though the EPS system is normal.
• CAN communication line malfunction
- Vehicle speed signal malfunction
- Engine speed signal malfunction
- CAN wiring harness malfunction
• EPS warning light circuit malfunction in the instrument cluster
• CAN wiring harness malfunction
- Malfunction in wiring harness between EPS control module and instrument cluster

Diagnostic procedure

STEP

INSPECTION

ACTION

1
• Perform the DTC inspection.
• Is an error message regarding the communication between the EPS control module and the WDS or equivalent displayed?
Yes
If a communication error message is displayed even after inspecting according to the procedures displayed on the WDS or equivalent, go to Step 4.
No
Go to the next step.
2
• Have DTCs been recorded in the memory?
Yes
Perform inspection using the appropriate DTC.
No
Go to the next step.
3
• Disconnect the EPS control module connector and the instrument cluster connector.
• Inspect for continuity between the EPS control module and the instrument cluster at the following terminals.
- Terminal 1L (12-pin) and terminal 2X (24-pin)
- Terminal 1K (12-pin) and terminal 2W (24-pin)
• Is there continuity?
Yes
Inspect the instrument cluster. (EPS warning light circuit malfunction in the instrument cluster)
No
Repair the wiring harness between the EPS control module and the instrument cluster, then reinspect the malfunction symptoms.
4
• Disconnect the EPS control module connector.
• Inspect for continuity between the EPS control module and the DLC-2 at the following terminals.
- Terminal 1L (12-pin) and CAN_H terminal (16-pin)
- Terminal 1K (12-pin) and CAN_L terminal (16-pin)
• Is there continuity?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair the wiring harness between the EPS control module and the DLC-2, then repeat from Step 1 if the malfunction.
5
• Measure the voltage at EPS control module connector terminal 1A (12-pin, IG1 signal).
• Is the voltage within the following range?
- IG ON: 8.5-17.5 V
Yes
Inspect the EPS control module connectors, then repeat from Step 1 if the malfunction recurs. If the same symptoms recur, replace the EPS control module.
No
Inspect the battery. If the battery condition is normal, inspect and repair the EPS control module wiring harness (IG1 signal). Reinspect the malfunction symptoms.
