The power steering control module continues to operate after the engine stops and calculate the temperature in the control module. Therefore, before starting service of the power steering system which requires disconnection of the connector, stop the engine and allow approx. 30 minutes until the control module becomes cold.
Before removal or installation, be sure to remove any foreign matter (dust, moisture, oil, etc.) from the power steering control module connector.
Be sure to record the malfunction information obtained via DTC check.
Do not perform the clear memory until the repair or replacement of faulty parts is completed.
If a problem (connector terminal with foreign matter, etc.) is found, record the faulty part (take a photo • store the foreign matter, etc.).

STEERING warning light |
|
|
|
|
When the ignition switch is turned to ON (engine OFF), the STEERING warning light illuminates.
After starting the engine, the STEERING warning light goes out. If it does not go off, a malfunction occurs in electric power steering • combination meter.
Detecting condition:
Defective combination meter
Defective harness
Trouble symptom:
When the ignition switch is turned to ON (engine OFF), the STEERING warning light does not illuminate.
It is operating normally if the warning light illuminates when the ignition switch is turned to ON (engine OFF), and turns off approximately two seconds after engine start.
Perform the instructed procedures.

INSTRUMENTATION/DRIVER INFO>Combination Meter
Detecting condition:
CAN communication error (engine rpm signal not received)
Trouble symptom:
Not assisted due to power supply voltage failure.
The STEERING warning light is normal but there is no power steering assist (steering feels heavy).
During driving, the assist system will not be activated when the ignition voltage drops.
Power steering assist is not started unless both of the ignition switch ON signal and the engine speed signal are input.
In any of the following cases, the power steering assist is limited and steering wheel operation may become heavy.
If the steering wheel is held to an end for a long time, or the steering wheel turning to right and left at slow speed is repeated during parking, the assist limitation (overheat protection control) may operate to prevent failures by overheat.
In this case, by stopping the engine for approx. 30 minutes for cooling, the assist will start operating. While assist limitation (overheat protection control) is in active, [Limited Assist] is displayed in [EPS Status] in the Subaru Select Monitor “Data Monitor”.
History can be confirmed on [ECU Overheat Protection] or [IG Count after ECU Overheat Protection(latest)] of “Data Monitor”.
The overheat protection control system is normal operation, therefore, the STEERING warning light will not come on and there will be no DTC displayed.
If the power steering system connector is disconnected while cooling under the overheat protection control, different DTC may be recorded. If there is no DTC and assist limitation is in active, stop the engine for approx. 10 minutes for cooling.
