POWER STEERING SYSTEM
PRECAUTIONS
1. Correct handling and precautions for operation
(1) Handling of electrical parts
(a) Do not apply any impact to any electrical parts such as the power steering computer ASSY. Be sure to replace with a new part if strong impact is applied (such as hitting or dropping the part).
(b) Do not expose electric parts to extreme temperatures or high humidity.
(c) Do not touch the connector terminals as they may become deformed, or damaged due to static electricity discharge.
(2) Handling of the power steering computer ASSY
(a) Be sure to use new replacement parts when replacing the power steering computer ASSY.
CAUTION:
Do not install any power steering computer ASSY that is designed to be used with other vehicles (such as demonstration models).
(b) Always perform a steering zero point calibration after replacing the power steering computer ASSY. (Refer to )
(3) Precautions when connecting or disconnecting connectors
(a) Before you disconnect any connectors related to the power steering system, turn the ignition to IG ON and set the steering to the straight-ahead position. Turn the ignition to IG OFF and disconnect the connector after disconnecting the battery ground terminal.
(b) Before you connect any connectors related to the power steering system, confirm that the ignition is turned to IG OFF, connect the connector and turn the ignition to IG ON while the steering is in the straight-ahead position.
CAUTION:
Do not turn the ignition to IG ON if the steering is not in the straight-ahead position.
(c) If the above procedures are not carried out, the steering neutral (zero point) position can shift and you may experience a difference in the steering effort required for the left and right directions. Please perform a zero point calibration if you notice any difference in the steering effort for the left and right directions. (Refer to )
2. Precautions for CAN communication
(1) CAN communication is used for sending and receiving information from each computer, sending warning signals to the combination meter ASSY, and communication with the DLC3. A communication error code is output if there is a problem with the CAN communication line.
(2) If a CAN communication error code is output, repair the malfunction causing the communication line error and perform power steering system troubleshooting under a normal data communication state.
(3) For precautions when repairing the CAN communication system, please refer to .
FUNCTION INSPECTION
1. Dry steering torque check
WARNING:
As this maintenance procedure may have an effect on the SRS airbag system, be sure to check the SRS airbag system precautions before commencing work. (Refer to )
(1) Park the vehicle on a level paved surface, and set the steering wheel to the straight-ahead position.
(2) Disconnect the battery ground terminal.
CAUTION:
After turning the ignition switch to OFF, you may have to wait for a while before disconnecting the battery terminals. Check appropriate precautions for battery terminal disconnection before proceeding. (Refer to )
(3) Remove the horn button ASSY. (Refer to )
(4) Connect the negative terminal of the battery.
(5) Check that the steering wheel set nut is not loose.

Standard value:
Tightening torque=39N·m { 398kgf·cm}
(6) Start the engine and place the vehicle in a state where the power steering can operate.
(7) Check the torque while turning the steering wheel a quarter turn to the right from the straight-ahead position.

Standard value:
Tightening torque=6.0N·m { 61kgf·cm}
or less
(8) Check the torque in the same manner while turning to the left.
(9) Set the steering wheel to the straight-ahead position.
(10) Disconnect the battery ground terminal.
CAUTION:
After turning the ignition switch to OFF, you may have to wait for a while before disconnecting the battery terminals. Check appropriate precautions for battery terminal disconnection before proceeding. (Refer to )
(11) Install the horn button ASSY. (Refer to )
(12) Connect the negative terminal of the battery.

FAILSAFE LIST
1. Failsafe list
(1) When the power steering computer ASSY detects a malfunction, to protect the system it suspends power assist or continues to perform control under special conditions.
Malfunction type
Fail safe
·Torque sensor malfunction
·Motor rotation angle sensor malfunction
·Power steering motor malfunction
·Power steering computer ASSY malfunction (other than the temperature sensor system)
Power assist is suspended.
Power steering computer ASSY malfunction (temperature sensor system)
·System overheat protection control is switched to a specification that doesn't use a board temperature sensor, and control is continued.
·Control is performed under a limited power assist level.
EEPROM error
Control is performed under the default map.
·CAN Communication Error
·Speed sensor system malfunction
·Skid control computer (brake actuator ASSY) communication malfunction
It is fixed to the same characteristics as when travelling at 100 km/h, and power steering control is continued.
When ECM internal temperature is high (not a malfunction)
The power assist level is limited, or assist is temporarily suspended.
Power supply voltage drop (not a malfunction)
The power assist level is limited, or assist is temporarily suspended.
NOTE:
·If there is repeated steering wheel operation when the vehicle is stopped or driving slowly, or the steering wheel is kept at its turning angle limit for a long period of time, the power assist level may be reduced in order to prevent the motor or computer from overheating. In this case, the system will return to normal if there is no steering wheel operation for approximately 10 minutes with the engine at idle speed.
·If the battery is not sufficiently charged or there is a temporary drop in voltage, the power assist level may be reduced and the P/S warning light may be turned on. In this case, it will return to a normal state when the battery voltage recovers.

Circuit figure
Inspection steps
CAUTION:
Always perform a steering zero point calibration after replacing the power steering computer ASSY. (Refer to )
NOTE:
Before performing troubleshooting, check the fuse for this circuit.
1. Checking connection of each part

(1) Lightly jiggle the power steering computer ASSY connector and wiring harness in the up/down/left/right directions, and check the state of the P/S warning light.
Criteria :  No variation in the P/S warning light illumination state.
NOTE:
If operating properly, the P/S warning light comes on when the ignition is turned to IG ON and goes out after the engine has started.
