Electric Power Steering Function GGS00018

Parts name Function

● Outputs optimum assist torque signal to motor by steering wheel turning force (sen-
sor signal) from torque sensor and vehicle speed signal from CAN communication.
● Reduces output signals to motor and protects motor and EPS control unit when using
power steering continuously and excessively.
Electric power steering (EPS) control unit ● Under unusual conditions of electric system, fail-safe function starts, output signal to
motor is turned off, and then changes to manual steering. EPS warning lamp turns
on to indicate system error.
● Controls communication with other control units by using CAN communication.
● Allows system diagnosis with CONSULT-II
Motor ● Products assist torque by control signal from EPS control unit.
Torque sensor ● Detects steering wheel turning force and outputs sensor signal to EPS control unit.
● Increases motor-produced assist torque by worm gear and transmits it to column
Reduction gear
shaft.
● Turns on when fail-safe function operate, and indicates manual steering state.
EPS warning lamp ● Turns on when key switch is turned on to check value, and turns off after engine
starts

Fail-Safe Function GGS00019

In case an unusual condition is encountered in the system, fail-safe function stops EPS control and the system
enters a fail-safe state. EPS warning lamp turns on to indicate unusual state, and enters a manual steering
state. (Control turning force of steering wheel becomes heavy.)

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
[EPS]
CONSULT-II Function (EPS) GGS0001F

FUNCTION
CONSULT-II can display each diagnostic item using the diagnostic test modes shown following.
Mode Function
SELF-DIAG RESULTS Receives self-diagnosis results from EPS control unit and indicates DTCs.
Receives input/output signals from EPS control unit and indicates and stores them to
DATA MONITOR
facilitate locating cause of malfunctions.
ECU PART NUMBER Displays EPS control unit part number.
CAN DIAG SUPPORT MNTR Monitors transmitting/receiving status of CAN communication.

SELF-DIAGNOSIS
Display Item List
CAUTION:
When malfunctions are detected in several system, including the “CAN COMM [U1000]”, inspect the
CAN communication system.
DTC code Diagnostic item Diagnostic item is detected when....
C1601 BATTERY_VOLT Power supply malfunction supplied to EPS.
C1604 TORQUE_SENSOR Torque sensor malfunction assembled in column assembly.
C1606 EPS_MOTOR Motor driver malfunction of motor or EPS control unit.
C1607 EEPROM EEPROM malfunction of EPS control unit.
C1608 CONTROL_UNIT EPS control unit internal malfunction.
C1609 CAN_VHCL_SPEED Vehicle speed signal malfunction received via CAN communication.
C1610 CAN_ENG_PRM Engine signal malfunction received via CAN communication.
U1000 CAN_COMM_CIRCUIT Malfunction is detected in CAN communication circuit.

DATA MONITOR
Display Item List
Monitor Item (Display or Unit) Remarks
MOTOR VOL (V) Displays power supply voltage supplied EPS control unit
TORQUE SENSOR (Nm) Displays steering wheel turning force detected by torque sensor
MOTOR SIG (A) Displays command value of a current sent to motor
Displays current value used by EPS.

MOTOR CURRENT (A) NOTE:

Quick steering may cause mismatch with a command value. This is
not a malfunction.
In close agreement with a vehicle speed read by speedometer. It
VEHICLE SPEED (km/h) may not agree immediately after ignition key switch ON, however,
this is not a malfunction.
WARNING LAMP (ON/OFF) EPS warning lamp operation condition is displayed
Under normal conditions OFF. It turns on if the steering wheel is
DERATING STAT (ON/OFF)
turned excessively. When left standing, it recovers to OFF.
ENGINE STATUS (stop, stall, run, and crank) Displays engine status
