ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM FUNCTION [ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS)]


id0602002400a1


Malfunction Detection Function

•  The malfunction detection function detects malfunctions in the input/output signal system of the EPS control module when the ignition switch is at the ON position or driving the vehicle.

Malfunction Display Function

•  When the malfunction detection function detects a malfunction, the EPS warning light illuminates or flashes to advise the driver. Using the external tester communication function, DTCs can be output to the DLC-2 via the CAN line. At the same time, malfunction detection results are sent to the memory and fail-safe functions.
•  The EPS warning light may not illuminate depending on the detected malfunction.

Memory Function

•  The memory function stores DTCs of malfunctions in input/output signal systems. With this function, once a DTC is stored it is not cleared after the ignition switch has been turned off (LOCK position), even if the malfunctioning signal system has returned to normal.
•  Since the EPS control module has a built-in non-volatile memory, DTCs are not cleared even if the battery is removed. Therefore, it is necessary to clear the memory after performing repairs. Refer to the Workshop Manual for the DTC clearing procedure.

Fail-safe Function

•  When the malfunction detection function determines a malfunction, the EPS warning light illuminates or flashes to advise the driver. At this time, the fail-safe function disables system control.

*1  :Control is maintained in fail mode.
*2  :The EPS warning light illuminates when a present malfunction is detected. When the ignition switch is turned off and then turned to the ON position after detecting a malfunction, the EPS warning light flashes if the malfunction was caused by an incorrect installation, and re-illuminates if the cause is the EPS control module internal malfunction.
*3  :Illuminates only when a present malfunction is detected. Does not illuminate when a past malfunction is detected (Ignition switch is turned off after detection).
*4  :Illuminates if a malfunction is detected when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position. It does not illuminate if a malfunction is detected after the engine is started.
*5  :Control is inhibited if a malfunction is detected when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position. Control is maintained in fail mode if a malfunction is detected after the engine is started.
