2. Warning lamp (DTC)/CAN Line error 

   2 - 1 Checking Connectors and Wiring 

   1. Checking Connectors and Wiring.

      Check for damage, push - back, or improper connection in each connector and wiring.

      1. Check the wiring on the vehicle side.
         • Check for open/short - circuit due to faulty connection, damage, or foreign substance.

      2. Check the motor connector.
         • Terminal Expansion and damage

         NOTE:

         • Must be replaced the MDPS motor if occur terminal expansion and damage. (Refer to Motor Driven Power Steering - "MDPS POWERPACK ASSEMBLY  ")
      3. Remove the grommet (A) and then check the wiring on the TAS side (B) and ECU side (C).
         • Check for damage, push - back, or improper connection in each connector and wiring.

         NOTE:

         • For DTC C125901/C125929/C125938/C129002, exchange MDPS wiring.

           (Refer to appropriate SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article.)

         • If problems are found during the MDPS wiring check, replace the MDPS column & housing. (Refer to Motor Driven Power Steering - "REPAIR PROCEDURES  ")

      2 - 2 Inspection Items Per DTC

      (3) MDPS Performance Inspection 

      1. Inspect steering angle and DTCs relevant to the steering system.
      2. Inspection for heavy steering effort
         1. Inspect tire pressure and width.
         2. Check DTCs relevant to the CAN communication error.
         3. Check the wheel alignment.

      CAUTION:

      Cautions to be taken when handling the MDPS (Motor Driven Power Steering)

      • Failure occurs due to internal damage because of the drop of and shock and excessive external force on the new partial component.

        → Be cautious of shock on the partial component and replace the damaged part (due to drop, etc.) with a new one.

      • When fastening the steering, excessive impact may result in twisting the center point of the torque sensor.
      • When removing/installing the connector the wiring may be damaged (deformed) by excessive external force.
      • Be cautious when storing and replacing the partial components under the abnormal temperature and humidity conditions.
