When the steering angle speed is high or the vehicle speed is low,
force is generated by increasing discharge amount from the power
steering oil pump and by raising system hydraulic pressure.
OPERATION PRINCIPLE
When Steering Wheel is in the Neutral Position
Because the hydraulic routes open at the power steeri ng pump, gear housing right side, gear housing left side,
and reservoir tank, the hydraulic pressure applied to the right side and left side of the gear housing is equal
and no steering assist force is generated.
When Steering Wheel is Rotated to the Right
The hydraulic routes open from power steering pump to gear housing right side and from gear housing left
side to reservoir tank, providing left direction assist force to the rack.

SYSTEM
When Steering Wheel is Rotated to the Left
The hydraulic routes open from power steering pump to gear housing left side and from gear housing right
side to reservoir tank, providing right direction assist force to the rack.
CONDITIONS FOR HYDRAULIC PUMP ELECTR IC POWER STEERING WARNING LAMP ON
• When the hydraulic pump electric power steering syst em is operating and steering assist force is being gen-
erated, the hydraulic pump electric power steering warning lamp is OFF.
• When the hydraulic pump electric power steering system is stopped by the fail-safe or protective function
and steering assist force is not being generated, the hy draulic pump electric power steering warning lamp
turns ON to inform the driver that t he system is in the manual steering state.
NOTE:
When the hydraulic pump electric power steering system warning lamp turns ON according to the protection
system, the cause is internal high temperature state of the hydraulic pump electric power steering system.
By stopping the engine, internal temperature of the s ystem decreases. After starting the engine, the system
returns to the normal state and the hydraulic pump elec tric power steering system warning lamp turns OFF.
(The system is not malfunctioning.) For informat ion about the protective function, refer to STC-9, "HYDRAU-
LIC PUMP ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM : Protection Function".
• When the ignition switch is turned ON, this lamp turn s ON for lamp check (system check). When the system
is operating normally, the lamp turns OFF after the engine starts.
HYDRAULIC PUMP ELECTRIC POWE R STEERING SYSTEM : Fail-safeINFOID:0000000009460345
When an error occurs in the hydraulic pump electric pow er steering system, fail-safe brings the system to a
halt (manual steering) or restricted (constant steering assi st level) state. When the system is in a halt state,
fail-safe turns ON the hydraulic pump electric power steer ing warning lamp to warn the driver that the hydrau-
lic pump electric power steering system is in the manual steering state.

HYDRAULIC PUMP ELECTRIC POWER STEE RING SYSTEM : Protection Function
INFOID:0000000009460346
• When the steering wheel is operated repeatedly or turned all the way for a long period during parking or low
speed driving, the function of the hydraulic pump elec tric power steering system becomes limited to prevent
the system from overheating. Cont inued operation of the steering wheel will cause the hydraulic pump elec-
tric power steering system to stop and the hydraulic pum p electric power steering system warning lamp may
come ON. In this case, the steering wheel operation temporarily becomes hard. This is not a malfunction.
When the engine is turned OFF (ignition switch OFF) and steering operation is stopped for a while, the tem-
perature of the hydraulic pump electric power steer ing system decreases and the steering operation returns
to normal after restarting the engine.
• Then, the hydraulic pump electric power steering syste m warning lamp turns OFF. If the system is OFF
under the protection state, the hydraulic pump electr ic power steering system warning lamp turns ON to
warn that the system is in the manual steering state. (This is not a system malfunction.) In addition, the fol-
lowing DTC remains to distinguish from malfunction.

NOTE:
If the cause is in a different ECU, the state changes to fixed steering assist force.

C160A The system temporarily enters the manual steering state. (This is not a hydraulic pump electric
power steering system malfunction.)

DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM (POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE)
CONSULT FunctionINFOID:0000000009460347
CAUTION:
After disconnecting the CONSULT vehicle interface (VI) from the data link connector, the ignition must
be cycled OFF → ON (for at least 5 seconds) → OFF. If this step is not performed, the BCM may not go
to ”sleep mode”, potentially causing a di scharged battery and a no-start condition.
FUNCTION
CONSULT can display each diagnostic item using the diagnostic test modes shown as per the following.
ECU IDENTIFICATION
Displays the part number stored in the control unit.
SELF-DIAG RESULTS MODE
Refer to STC-13, "DTC Index".
When “CRNT” is displayed on self-diagnosis result.
• The system is presently malfunctioning.
When “PAST” is displayed on self-diagnosis result.• System malfunction in the past is detect ed, but the system is presently normal.
DATA MONITOR MODE
Diagnostic test mode Function
ECU identification The part number stored in the control unit can be read.
Self Diagnostic Results Self-diagnostic results and freeze frame data can be read and erased quickly.
Data monitor Input/Output data in the power steering control module can be read.
Monitor item (Unit) Remarks
BATTERY VOLT (V) Displays the power supply voltage for power steering control module.
STEERING ANGLE (deg) Displays the steering angle based on the steering angle signal transmitted by CAN com-
munications.
STR ANG SPD (deg/s) Displays the steering angle speed based on the steering angle signal transmitted by
CAN communications.
MOTOR CURRENT (A) Displays the cu rrent value consumed by power steering control module.
MTR REV SPD COMM (rpm) Displa ys the power steering motor speed command value.
MTR REV SPD (rpm) Displays the power steering motor speed.
C/U TEMP ( °C or °F) Displays the temperature of the power steering control module.
C/U TEMP A ( °C or °F) Displays the temperature of the power steering control module.
MTR ASSIST (%) Displays the current percentage of the allowable assist ratio power steering motor.
ESTM VHCL SPD (km/h or mph) Displays the vehicle speed calculated by the power steering control module.
WARNING LAMP (On/Off) Hydraulic pump electric power steering system warning lamp control status is displayed.
ENGINE STATUS (STOP/RUN/CRANK) Engine speed is displayed from engine condition signal with CAN communication
VHCL SPD JUDGE (OK/NG) Displays the receiving status of the vehicle speed signal transmitted by CAN communi-
cations.

*1: The value changes according to load of power steering motor.
*2: This is in close agreement with a motor speed command value. Although a quick steering operation may
cause disagreement, this is not a malfunction.

Fail-safeINFOID:0000000009460349
When an error occurs in the hydraulic pump electric pow er steering system, fail-safe brings the system to a
halt (manual steering) or restricted (constant steering assi st level) state. When the system is in a halt state,
fail-safe turns ON the hydraulic pump electric power steer ing warning lamp to warn the driver that the hydrau-
lic pump electric power steering system is in the manual steering state.
Protection FunctionINFOID:0000000009460350
• When the steering wheel is operated repeatedly or turned all the way for a long period during parking or low
speed driving, the function of the hydraulic pump elec tric power steering system becomes limited to prevent
the system from overheating. If the steering wheel is operated further more, the hydraulic pump electric
power steering system stops and the hydraulic pump el ectric power steering system warning lamp may be
turned ON. In this case, the steering wheel operation temporarily becomes hard. This is not a malfunction.
When the engine is turned OFF (ignition switch OFF) and steering operation is stopped for a while, the tem-
perature of the hydraulic pump electric power steeri ng system decreases and the steering operation returns
to normal after restarting the engine.
