INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
If the steering column assembly or power steering ECU has been replaced, perform the rotation angle sensor initialization and torque sensor zero point calibration (Click here).

1.READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (MOTOR VOLTAGE)

  1. Turn the power switch off.

  1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

  1. Turn the power switch on (READY).

  1. Turn the intelligent tester on.

  1. Enter the following menus: Chassis / EMPS / Data List.

  1. Select the items "Motor Terminal Volt(U)", "Motor Terminal Volt(V)" and "Motor Terminal Volt(W)" in the Data List and read the value displayed on the intelligent tester.
