Diagnostic Procedure
| 
 Step  | 
 Inspection  | 
 Action  | 
|
|---|---|---|---|
| 
 1 
 | 
 INSPECT BATTERY VOLTAGE 
•  Is the battery terminal voltage normal?
 
 | 
 Yes 
 | 
 Make sure that battery terminal connection is okay. 
Go to the next step. 
 | 
| 
 No 
 | 
 Charge or replace the battery, then go to Step 6. 
 | 
||
| 
 2 
 | 
 INSPECT BATTERY GRAVITY 
•  Is the battery specific gravity as specified?
 
 | 
 Yes 
 | 
 Go to the next step. 
 | 
| 
 No 
 | 
 Replace the battery, then go to Step 6. 
 | 
||
| 
 3 
 | 
 INSPECT CHARGING SYSTEM 
•  Are the generator and drive belt tension normal?
 
 | 
 Yes 
 | 
 Go to the next step. 
 | 
| 
 No 
 | 
 Replace the generator and/or drive belt if necessary. 
Go to step 6. 
 | 
||
| 
 4 
 | 
 INSPECT FUSE CONDITION 
•  Is the fuse (EPS 60A) normal? 
 | 
 Yes 
 | 
 Go to the next step. 
 | 
| 
 No 
 | 
 Replace the fuse, then go to Step 7. 
 | 
||
| 
 5 
 | 
 INSPECT EPS CONTROL MODULE POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR OPEN OR SHORT CIRCUIT 
•  Start the engine. 
•  Measure the voltage between following EPS control module terminal (wiring harness-side) and ground. 
 •  Is the voltage 8 V or more? 
 | 
 Yes 
 | 
 Go to the next Step. 
 | 
| 
 No 
 | 
 Repair or replace the wiring harness (including fuse) between the EPS control module and ground, then go to Step 6. 
 | 
||
| 
 6 
 | 
 INSPECT EPS CONTROL MODULE GROUND CIRCUIT FOR POOR GROUND OR OPEN CIRCUIT 
•  Switch the ignition OFF. 
•  Inspect for continuity between EPS control module terminal 1A and body ground. 
•  Is there continuity? 
 | 
 Yes 
 | 
 Go to the next step. 
 | 
| 
 No 
 | 
 Repair or replace the wiring harness between terminal 1A and body ground, then go to the next step. 
 |

| 
 7 
 | 
 VERIFY DTC TROUBLESHOOTING COMPLETED 
•  Using the M-MDS, clear the DTC from the EPS control module.
 
•  Using the M-MDS, perform the EPS control module DTC inspection.
 
•  Is the same DTC present? 
 | 
 Yes 
 | 
 Repeat the inspection from Step1. 
If the malfunction recurs, replace the EPS control module, then go to the next step. 
 | 
| 
 No 
 | 
 Go to the next step. 
 | 
||
| 
 8 
 | 
 VERIFY NO DTC IS PRESENT 
•  Are any DTCs present? 
 | 
 Yes 
 | 
 Go to applicable DTC inspection. 
 | 
| 
 No 
 | 
 DTC troubleshooting completed.
