Service Notice or Precautions for EPS SystemUGS0008F
CAUTION:
Check or confirm the following item when performing the trouble diagnosis.

Check any possible causes by interviewing the symptom and it’s condition from the customer if
any malfunction, such as EPS warning lamp turns ON, occurs.

Check if air pressure and size of tires are proper, the specified part is used for the steering wheel,
and control unit is genuine part.

Check if the connection of steering column assembly and steering gear assembly is proper (there
is not looseness of mounting bolts, damage of rods, boots or sealants, and leakage of grease,
etc).

Check if the wheel alignment is adjusted properly.

Check if there is any damage or modification to suspension or body resulting in increased weight
or altered ground clearance.

Check if installation conditions of each link and suspension are proper.

Check if the battery voltage is proper

Check connection conditions of each connector are proper.

Before connecting or disconnecting the EPS control unit
harness connector, turn ignition switch “OFF” and discon-
nect battery ground cable. Because battery voltage is
applied to EPS control unit even if ignition switch is turned
“OFF”.

When connecting or disconnecting pin connectors into or
from EPS control unit, take care not to damage pin termi-
nals (bend or break).
When connecting pin connectors, make sure that there are
no bends or breaks on EPS control unit pin terminal.

Before replacing EPS control unit, perform EPS control unit
input/output signal inspection and make sure whether EPS
control unit functions properly or not. Refer to STC-11,
"EPS Control Unit Input/Output Signal Reference Values" .
