PROCEDURE
1. | CHECK ASSIST LIMIT RECORD |
(a) Using the Techstream, read the Data List item "Assist Limit Record 1".
Chassis > EMPS > Data List Tester Display | Measurement Item | Range | Normal Condition | Diagnostic Note |
---|---|---|---|---|
Assist Limit Record 1 | Information of assist limit that was used in the past or is currently in use (latest history) | Unrec, Mtr Overheat, Pow Vol Low, Pow Vol Low Prevent, Eng Stall, Ready OFF, Mtr Overload, Vhcl Spd Sig Malf, Batt Vol Keep | - | - |

Assist Limit Record 1 |
HINT:
For the Data List item "Assist Limit Record 1", each item in the Range is described below.
Range | Description |
---|---|
Mtr Overheat | When the vehicle is stopped or traveling at low speed, and steering operations are performed repeatedly or the steering wheel is turned all the way to the side and held there for a long time, assist may be limited in order to prevent overheating of the power steering motor assembly and power steering ECU assembly. After 10 minutes elapse with the engine stopped and no steering operations being performed, the system will return to normal. After recovering from the overheated condition, assist can be performed as usual. |
Pow Vol Low | When insufficient battery charge, or battery degradation etc. causes the voltage to temporarily decrease, assist may be stopped. After the battery condition returns to normal, assist can be performed as usual. |
Pow Vol Low Prevent | When insufficient battery charge, or battery degradation etc. causes the voltage to temporarily decrease, assist may be limited. After the battery condition returns to normal, assist can be performed as usual. |
Eng Stall | When the engine stalls, battery charge becomes insufficient, so assist is stopped. After recovering from the engine stall, assist can be performed as usual. |
Ready OFF | After Ready ON, if a malfunction in the HV system etc. causes a return to Ready OFF, the HV battery charge becomes insufficient, so assist is stopped. After returning to Ready ON state, assist can be performed as usual. |
Mtr Overload | When the steering wheel cannot turn, such as when a road wheel is against a curb, if the driver continues to apply force to the steering wheel, current to the motor may be limited to prevent overheating. When the steering wheel is returned to a neutral position, assist can be performed as usual. |
DC-DC Malf | If there is a malfunction in the DC-DC converter, etc., assist may be limited. After the DC-DC converter returns to normal, assist can be performed as usual. |
Vhcl Spd Sig Malf | If the vehicle speed signal is abnormal due to a wheel speed sensor malfunction, etc., assist may be limited. |
Batt Vol Keep | When insufficient battery charge, or battery degradation etc. causes the voltage to temporarily decrease, assist may be limited. After the battery condition returns to normal, assist can be performed as usual. |
(b) Based on the "Assist Limit Record 1" information, the following Data List items and the information from the customer interview, explain the situation to the customer.
Chassis > EMPS > Data List Tester Display | Measurement Item | Range | Normal Condition | Diagnostic Note |
---|---|---|---|---|
Record 1 Key Cycle | Number of times that the engine switch was turned on (IG) before Assist Limit Record 1 was stored | Min.: 0 times Max.: 65535 times | - | - |
Record 1 Key Cycle Elapsed Time | Period of time that elapsed since the engine switch was turned on (IG) before Assist Limit Record 1 was stored | Min.: 0.0 s Max.: 53687091.1 s | - | - |

Other than Unrec is displayed | B |
HINT:
If it is necessary to investigate further into the past, check the "Assist Limit Record 2" and "Assist Limit Record 3" information in the same way as "Assist Limit Record 1".
B | EXPLAIN THE CHECKED "ASSIST LIMIT RECORD 1" TO THE CUSTOMER, CROSS-CHECKING THE DATA LIST ITEMS WITH THE INFORMATION FROM THE CUSTOMER INTERVIEW. |
|
2. | CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR |
(a) Jiggle the power steering ECU assembly connectors and wire harness up and down, and left and right to check the illumination condition of the EPS warning light in the combination meter assembly.
OK:
The EPS warning light illumination condition does not change.
HINT:
When the EPS warning light is operating properly, it illuminates when the engine switch is turned on (IG) and turns off when the engine is started.

4. | CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (IG POWER SUPPLY - GROUND) |
(a) Disconnect the J5 and J4 power steering ECU assembly connectors.
*a | Front view of wire harness connector (to Power Steering ECU Assembly) | - | - |
(b) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Voltage:
Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
---|---|---|
J4-1 (IG) - Body ground | Engine switch on (IG) | 8 to 16 V |
J5-1 (PIG) - Body ground | Engine switch on (IG) | 9 to 16 V |
(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
---|---|---|
J5-2 (PGND) - Body ground | Always | Below 1 Ω |
NG | REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR |
