5-2 HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS OF CONTROL SYSTEM

1.Since the sensors are precision parts, be careful not to allow great shocks to apply to the parts during
the removal and installation. Never use the parts which have been subjected to great shocks (E.g.
parts dropped on to the floor).
2.Do not disassemble the EPS ECU steering column.
3.When carrying the steering column, be very careful not to pull the harness. Rather, be certain to hold
the motor section or housing section.
4.Never apply an excessive force or an impact to the steering column in the axial direction and turning
direction.
5.Never use the steering column if a strong impact has been applied to it, especially to the motor sec-
tion, torque sensor section and EPS ECU (Cases where the part has been dropped onto the floor or
the motor section has a dent).
6.Utmost care must be exercised so that no water may be admitted during the checks in rainy weather
or when washing the vehicle (Especially when washing the vehicle interior). Also, care should be paid
so that no water may be splashed on the steering column, each sensor, EPS ECU, etc.
7.Except during the abnormality check of the system, connecting / disconnecting the connector should
be carried out only after the battery negative (-) terminal is removed.
8.If the EPS ECU is judged abnormal and the vehicle resumes the normal operation after replacing the
EPS ECU, install the EPS ECU that was removed (Judged abnormal) and confirm that the initial abnor-
mality is reproduced. If it is reproduced, make a final judgment that the EPS ECU is faulty.
9.After installing the steering column and EPS ECU, confirm that each bolt is securely installed and the
connector is securely connected.
10.When a wireless device is installed, take the following precautions.
(1) The antenna should be installed at the farthest position from the EPS ECU.
(2) The feeder of the antenna should be routed as far away as possible (Minimum distance: 30 cm)
from the steering column and wire harness. Also, make certain to avoid routing the feeder for a
long distance in parallel with these parts.
(3) The antenna should be matched well.
(4) Do not install wireless devices with a high output.

5-7 HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLE SHOOTING
1.This system is equipped with a diagnosis function capable of performing the self-diagnosis for mal-
functioning sections. This will be an important help at the time of trouble-shooting.
The diagnosis of this system has a backup that uses an EEPROM (Non-volatile ROM). Hence, the diag-
nosis code is stored in the memory even if the power is cut off.

5-8 INQUIRY
1.In an effort to remove causes for malfunction from the vehicle concerned, it is impossible to determine
the cause without confirming the malfunction phenomenon. If the phenomenon is not confirmed, the
vehicle may not be able to return to the normal conditions even if you continue your work. The diag-
nosis through interview is to collect information from the customer before confirming the malfunction
phenomena. The diagnosis through interview provides very important clues in reproducing malfunc-
tion phenomena.
2.Since the information obtained by the diagnosis through interview is referred to during the trouble
shooting, it is imperative to make an inquiry of the customer, centering on the items related to the mal-
function, instead of simply asking general questions.
3.During the diagnosis through interviews, utmost attention must be paid to complaints of the customer,
for it may include phenomena peculiar to the EPS-equipped vehicles.

5-9 CONFIRMATION, RECORD AND ERASURE OF DIAGNOSIS CODE
5-9-1 OUTLINE
1.When any abnormality code of the diagnosis is indicated, it is necessary to confirm the relationship
with the reproduced malfunction phenomenon by ascertaining whether the system malfunction has
occurred in the past or it still persists up to the present. To this end, the diagnosis code should be
indicated twice, i.e. before and after the confirmation of the phenomenon.
5-9-2 CHECKING METHOD OF DIAGNOSIS
1.Stop the vehicle.
2.With the IG SW "LOCK" position, short circuit the terminals
EPS-TS and E of the DLC located under the instrument
panel.
CAUTION
• In order to short-circuit the DLC, be sure to use the
specified SST.
• If the short-circuit of the DLC is made for wrong termi-
E EPS-TS
nals, it may cause malfunction. Be very careful not to
select wrong terminals. H11C1029T10

SST: 09991-87404-000
SST: 09991-87403-000
3.After turning "ON" the IG SW, read the flashing number of the EPS warning lamp.
CAUTION
• Connecting the connector in the wrong location could cause a malfunction. Therefore, make sure
the connection is correct.

NOTE
• When the system is functioning normally, the flashing interval is 0.5 second.
• If there is one malfunction code, after a pause of five seconds, the same code will be outputted. If
plural codes are outputted, the respective codes will be outputted at an interval of 2.5 seconds.
After all the codes have been outputted, there will be another 4 second pause before the output of
the codes starts over again.
• When plural codes are outputted, they will appear in the order of the code number, starting from
the smaller one.

5-9-3 CANCELING METHOD OF DIAGNOSIS

1.The diagnosis of this system has a backup that uses an EEPROM (Non-volatile ROM). Hence, the
diagnosis code is stored in the memory even if the power is cut off. When having checked and
repaired a section concerning which an abnormal code is generated, erase that abnormality code by
following the procedure given below.
2.Stop the vehicle and keep the IG SW in the "LOCK" position five seconds or more.
3.With the IG SW turned "ON", short-circuit and release the terminal EPS-TS and E of the DLC at least
eight times in eight seconds. This will erase the code.
Refer to Page A1-19.

CAUTION
• In order to short-circuit the DLC, be sure to use the specified SST.
• If the short-circuit of the DLC is made for wrong terminals, it may cause malfunction. Be very care-
ful not to select wrong terminals.

~1:This code may be memorized if the engine speed is varied for five minutes or more in an unloaded state (Racing).
~2:This code may be memorized when running the vehicle in the neutral gear without starting the engine.
~3:This code may be memorized when IG SW is set to "LOCK", and the motor terminal is connected to the ground.
~4:If the motor or ECU gets overheated because the steering wheel has been turned for a long time with the vehicle stopped,
the motor current is controlled to a smaller amount to protect the motor and ECU. This code shows that the protection of the
motor from overheating has been performed, and therefore, it does not mean that there is a malfunction.
 G2–32
5-10 SENSOR CHECK FUNCTION (TEST MODE)
1.In the test mode, the vehicle speed sensor signal system and engine revolution speed signal system
are checked by running the vehicle. In cases where both items have been judged to be normal, the
warning lamp changes from a flashing state to an extinguished state. Then, the test mode code will
be erased automatically. Therefore, if the flashing indication will not go out (The test mode code is
memorized) even after the running has been conducted, repair the vehicle speed sensor signal sys-
tem and engine revolution speed signal system. Then, check and repair the relevant malfunctioning
system.
5-10-1 OUTPUT OF TEST MODE CODE
1.With the IG SW turned "ON", short-circuit and release the terminal EPS-TS and E of the DLC at least
eight times in eight seconds. Check to see if the warning lamp flashes at an interval of about 0.25
second.
CAUTION
• If the EPS warning lamp illuminates at all the times, the system may be malfunctioning. Check the
diagnosis code.

2.Start the engine.

3.Run the vehicle for at least 2 seconds at a speed of about 20 km/h or more.
4.In cases where all check items are normal, the EPS warning lamp goes out. Under this condition, stop
the vehicle.
5.In cases where the EPS warning lamp will not go out even when the running continues, most likely the
vehicle speed sensor signal system and engine revolution speed signal system are malfunctioning.
Check these systems.
