Normal Operation

The PSCM communicates with the diagnostic scan tool and other module through the HS-CAN.

If the PSCM cannot communicate with the diagnostic scan tool or other modules, the EPAS system defaults to a pre-determined vehicle speed setting and the customer may experience a lack of assist or heavy steering feel.

This test generates a RVC for a new PSCM when directed to do so from appropriate pinpoint test.
