DETAILED FLOW

1.

COLLECT THE INFORMATION FROM THE CUSTOMER

It is also important to clarify customer complaints before inspection. First of all, reproduce symptoms and
understand them fully. Ask customer about his/her complaints carefully. In some cases, it is necessary to
check symptoms by driving vehicle with customer.

CAUTION:

Customers are not professional. It is dangerous to make an easy guess like “maybe the customer
means that...,” or “maybe the customer mentions this symptom”.

>> GO TO 2.

2.

CHECK THE STATUS

1.

Power steering fluid leakage and check the power steering fluid level. Refer to 

ST-11, "Inspection"

.

2.

Check the drive belt tension. Refer to 

EM-13, "Checking"

.

3.

Check the power steering gear for damages, cracks and fluid leakage. Refer to 

ST-33, "2WD : Inspection"

(2WD models), 

ST-43, "AWD : Inspection"

 (AWD models).

4.

Check the relief oil pressure. Refer to 

ST-49, "Inspection"

.

>> GO TO 3.

3.

DIAGNOSIS CHART BY SYMPTOM

Perform the diagnosis by symptom. Refer to 

STC-18, "Diagnosis Procedure"

.

>> GO TO 4.

4.

FINAL CHECK

Check the input/output standard values for the power steering control unit.

Are the power steering control unit input/output values within standard ranges respectively?

YES

>> INSPECTION END

NO

>> GO TO 2.

[EPS]

EPS SYSTEM

• The valve driving voltage to control the power steering solenoid

valve varies according to the vehicle speed.

OPERATION PRINCIPLE

During Parking (When Turning The Steering Wheel To The Right.)

1.

Power steering solenoid valve is closed while a vehicle is stopped.

2.

Pinion “1R”, “2R” and “3R” are closed depending on steering torque of steering wheel.

3.

Oil pressure “P” in the gear housing assembly is the sum of oil pressures occurred in “2R” and “3R”. This
results in a light steering force because of high pressure.

During High-speed Operation

1.

Power steering solenoid valve is opened during high-speed operation.

2.

Pinion “1R”, “2R” and “3R” are closed depending on steering torque of steering wheel.

3.

Oil pressure “2R” does not occur because the power steering solenoid valve is on full throttle.

4.

Oil pressure “P” in the gear housing assembly includes only oil pressure occurred in “3R” and results in a
heavy steering force.

Reference/Function

Power steering control unit

• Signals from various sensors control the driving voltage to the power steering solenoid valve.
• The power steering control unit controls the driving voltage to the power steering solenoid valve 

for maintaining the power steering assist force when the fail-safe function is activated. (The en-
gine speed signals control EPS system if any vehicle speed signal error is detected.)
