Disassembly And Reassembly: Notes

CAUTION:
  • When replacing the EPS-ECU or electric steering lock, complete the chassis number registration (Refer to - Precautions before Service - HOW TO PERFORM VIN WRITING ).
  • When the motor (integrated with EPS-ECU) is replaced, coding must be performed. When diagnostic trouble code No.U1195 "Coding not completed" is set in the motor (integrated with EPS-ECU), diagnose each diagnostic trouble code.
  • After the installation, perform a calibration for the EPS-ECU to learn the torque sensor neutral point (Refer to INSPECTION PROCEDURE  ).
  • Do not reuse the product that has been dropped because its internal components may be defective even if it has no apparent damage.
  • Always keep motor (EPS-ECU) away from the matter that generates magnetic force.
  • Handle carefully to prevent binding or damage of the wiring harness.
