How To Proceed With Troubleshooting

HINT:

• Use these procedures to troubleshoot the power steering system.
• *: Use the intelligent tester or Techstream.

1. VEHICLE BROUGHT TO WORKSHOP 
2. INSPECT BATTERY VOLTAGE 

   Standard voltage: 

   11 to 14 V 

   If the voltage is below 11 V, recharge or replace the battery before proceeding.

3. INSPECT ELECTRIC POWER CONTROL SYSTEM* 
   1. Using the intelligent tester or Techstream, check the electric power control system's load control history (see OPERATION CHECK ).
4. CHECK DTC AND FREEZE FRAME DATA* 
   1. Record DTCs and freeze frame data.
5. CLEAR DTC AND FREEZE FRAME DATA* 
6. PROBLEM SYMPTOM CONFIRMATION

      HINT:

      • Refer to the diagnostic trouble code chart if any DTCs are output.
      • If any CAN communication system DTCs are output, perform troubleshooting on the CAN communication system first (see DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM ).
      • If communication to the power steering ECU is not established through the intelligent tester or Techstream, inspect terminals CANH and CANL of the DLC3 and power steering ECU, and inspect the IG circuit of the power steering ECU.
