DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM (EPS CONTROL UNIT)

CONSULT Function

INFOID:0000000009945962

FUNCTION

CONSULT can display each diagnostic item using the diagnostic test modes shown following.

*: The following diagnosis information is erased by erasing.
• DTC
• Freeze frame data (FFD)

ECU IDENTIFICATION

Displays the part number stored in the control unit.

SELF-DIAG RESULTS MODE

Refer to 

STC-13, "DTC Index"

.

When “CRNT” is displayed on self-diagnosis result.

• The system is presently malfunctioning.

When “PAST” is displayed on self-diagnosis result.

• System malfunction in the past is detected, but the system is presently normal.

FREEZE FRAME DATA (FFD)

The following vehicle status is recorded when DTC is detected and is displayed on CONSULT.

DATA MONITOR MODE

NOTE:
The following table includes information (items) inapplicable to this vehicle. For information (items) applicable
to this vehicle, refer to CONSULT display items.

Diagnostic test mode

Function

ECU identification

The part number stored in the control unit can be read.

Self diagnostic result

Self-diagnostic results and freeze frame data can be read and erased quickly.

*

Data monitor

Input/Output data in the EPS control unit can be read.

Item name

Display item

IGN COUNTER
(0 – 39)

The number of times that ignition switch is turned ON after the DTC is detected is displayed.
• When “0” is displayed: It indicates that the system is presently malfunctioning.
• When except “0” is displayed: It indicates that system malfunction in the past is detected, but the system is pres-

ently normal.
NOTE:
Each time when ignition switch is turned OFF to ON, numerical number increases in 1

→

2

→

3...38

→

39.

When the operation number of times exceeds 39, the number do not increase and “39” is displayed until self-
diagnosis is erased.

Monitor item (Unit)

Remarks

BATTERY VOLT (V)

Displays the power supply voltage for EPS control unit.

TORQUE SENSOR (Nm)

Displays steering wheel turning force detected by torque sensor.

MOTOR CURRENT (A)

Displays the current value consumed by EPS motor.

*1

MOTOR SIG (A)

Displays the current commanded value to EPS motor.

ASSIST TORQUE (Nm)

Displays assist torque of EPS motor being output by the electric power steering.

C/U TEMP (

°

C)

Displays the temperature of the EPS control unit.

ASSIST LEVEL (%)

Normally displays 100%. In case of an excessive stationary steering, the assist 

curvature gradually falls. However, it return to 100% when left standing.

*2

VEHICLE SPEED (km/h) or (MPH)

Vehicle speed is displayed from vehicle speed signal via CAN communication.

*3

WARNING LAMP (On/Off)

EPS warning lamp control status is displayed.

ENGINE STATUS (Stop/Run)

Engine speed is displayed from engine status signal via CAN communication.

DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM (EPS CONTROL UNIT)

*1: Almost in accordance with the value of “MOTOR SIG”. It is not a malfunction though these values are not
accorded when steering quickly.
*2: Normally displays 100%. In case of an excessive stationary steering, the assist curvature gradually falls.
However, it returns to 100% when left standing.
*3: It is not a malfunction, though it might not be corresponding just after ignition switch in turned ON.

VALUES ON THE DIAGNOSIS TOOL

CAUTION:

The output signal indicates the EPS control unit calculation data. The normal values will be displayed
even in the event that the output circuit (harness) is open.
NOTE:
The following table includes information (items) inapplicable to this vehicle. For information (items) applicable
to this vehicle, refer to CONSULT display items.

*1: Almost in accordance with the value of “MOTOR SIG”. It is not a malfunction though these values are not
accorded when steering quickly.
*2: A fixed value is indicated regardless of steering turning.
*3: Normally displays 100%. In case of an excessive stationary steering, the assist curvature gradually falls.
However, it returns to 100% when left standing.
*4: It is not a malfunction, though it might not be corresponding just after ignition switch in turned ON.

INFOID:0000000009945964

• If any malfunction occurs in the system and control unit detects the malfunction, EPS warning lamp on com-

bination meter turns ON to indicate system malfunction.

• When EPS warning lamp is ON, the system enters into a manual steering state. (Control turning force steer-

ing wheel becomes heavy.)

• Under abnormal vehicle speed signal conditions, vehicle speed is judged as constant.
