Diagnostic Procedure

Step

Inspection

Action

1
INSPECT BATTERY VOLTAGE
•  Is the battery terminal voltage normal?
Yes
Make sure that battery terminal connection is okay.
Go to the next step.
No
Charge or replace the battery, then go to Step 7.
2
INSPECT BATTERY GRAVITY
•  Is the battery specific gravity as specified?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Replace the battery, then go to Step 7.
3
INSPECT CHARGING SYSTEM
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Replace the generator and/or drive belt if necessary.
Go to Step 7.
4
INSPECT FUSE CONDITION
•  Is the fuse (EPAS 60A) normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Replace the fuse, then go to Step 7.
5
INSPECT EPS CONTROL MODULE POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR OPEN OR SHORT CIRCUIT
•  Start the engine.
•  Measure the voltage between following EPS control module terminal (wiring harness-side) and ground.
?  EPS control module: 1B—ground
•  Is the voltage 8 V or more?
Yes
Go to the next Step.
No
Repair or replace the wiring harness (including fuse) between the EPS control module and ground, then go to Step 7.
6
INSPECT EPS CONTROL MODULE GROUND CIRCUIT FOR POOR GROUND OR OPEN CIRCUIT
•  Switch the ignition OFF.
•  Inspect for continuity between EPS control module terminal 1A and body ground.
•  Is there continuity?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace the wiring harness between terminal 1A and body ground, then go to the next step.
7
VERIFY DTC TROUBLESHOOTING COMPLETED
•  Using the M-MDS, clear the DTC from the EPS control module.
•  Using the M-MDS, perform the EPS control module DTC inspection.
•  Is the same DTC present?
Yes
Repeat the inspection from Step1.
If the malfunction recurs, replace the EPS control module, then go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
8
VERIFY NO DTC IS PRESENT
•  Are any DTCs present?
Yes
Go to applicable DTC inspection.
No
DTC troubleshooting completed.
