EPS Indicator Circuit Troubleshooting (Except HATC Model)

EPS Indicator Circuit Troubleshooting

1.	Turn the ignition switch ON (II), start the engine and watch the EPS indicator. Does the EPS indicator come on? YES - If the EPS indicator comes on and goes off, it's OK. If the EPS indicator stays on blinks, alway check for an open or a short to ground in the SCS circuit. NO - Go to 2.

Turn the ignition switch OFF, then ON (II) again and watch the brake system indicator.

Does the brake system indicator come on?

YES - Go to 3.

NO - Repair open in the indicator power source circuit:n

Blown No. 3 METER (7.5 A) fuse.
Open in the wire between the No. 3 METER (7.5 A) fuse and gauge assembly.
Open circuit inside the under-dash fuse/relay box.

3.	Turn the ignition switch OFF.

4.	Disconnect the gauge assembly 20P connector.

5.	Turn the ignition switch ON (II).

Measure the voltage between the gauge assembly 22P connector terminal No. 2 and body ground.

Is there battery voltage?

YES - Go to 7.

NO - Repair open in the wire between the gauge assembly and No. 3 METER (7.5 A) fuse.n

7.	Turn the ignition switch OFF.

8.	Check the EPS indicator bulb in the gauge assembly. Is the bulb OK? YES - Go to 9. NO - Repair the EPS indicatoer bulb.n

9.	Connect the gauge assembly 20P connector on the gauge assembly.

10.	Turn the ignition switch ON (II).

11.	Connect the gauge assembly 30P connector terminal No. 26 to body ground with a jumper wire. GAUGE ASSEMBLY 30P CONNECTORWire side of female terminalsJUMPER WIREWLP (YEL/RED) Does EPS indicator come on? YES - Go to 12. NO - Replace the bulb circuit board in the gauge assembly.n

12.	Turn the ignition switch OFF.

13.	Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.

14.	Disconnect the EPS control unit connector B (14P).

15.	Reconnect the negative cable to the battery.

16.	Turn the ignition switch ON (II).

17.

Connect the EPS control unit connector B (14P) terminal No. 13 to body ground with a jumper wire.

Does EPS indicator come on?

YES - Go to 18.

NO - Repair open in the wire between the gauge assembly and EPS control unit.n

18.	Turn the ignition switch OFF.

19.	Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.

20.	Disconnect the EPS control unit connector A (4P).

21.

Check for continuity between body ground and the EPS control unit connector A (4P) terminal No. 4 to body ground.

Is there continuty?

YES - Go to 22.

NO - Repair open in the wire between the EPS control unit and body ground (G451).n

22.	Reconnect the negative cable to the battery.

23.	Turn the ignition switch ON (II).

24.

Measure the voltage between the EPS control unit connector B (14P) terminal No. 6 and body ground.

Is there battery voltage?

YES - Go to 25.

NO - Repair open in the wire between the EPS control unit connector B (14P) and No. 3 METER (7.5 A) fuse.n

25.	Turn the ignition switch OFF.

26.	Start the engine. Does EPS indicator go off? YES - Go to 27. NO - Repair short to body ground in the wire between the EPS indicator and EPS control unit.n

27.	Inspect the bulb circuit board in the gauge assembly. Is there normal? YES - Check for loose EPS control unit connectors. If necessary, substitute a known-good EPS control unit and recheck.n NO - Replace the bulb circuit board in the gauge assembly.n
