STC-6
< SYSTEM DESCRIPTION >
COMPONENT PARTS
EPS Control Unit
INFOID:0000000009267346
• EPS control unit performs an arithmetical operation on data, such as steering wheel turning force (sensor
signal) from the torque sensor, vehicle speed signal, etc. Then it generates an optimum assist torque signal
to the EPS motor according to the driving condition.
• EPS control unit decreases the output signal to EPS motor while extremely using the power steering func-
tion (e.g., full steering) consecutively for protecting EPS motor and EPS control unit (Overload protection
control).
EPS Motor
INFOID:0000000009267347
EPS motor provides the assist torque by the control signal from EPS control unit.
Torque Sensor
INFOID:0000000009267348
Torque sensor detects the steering torque, and transmit the signal to EPS control unit.
Reduction Gear
INFOID:0000000009267349
Reduction gear increases the assist torque provided from EPS motor with worm gears, and outputs to the col-
umn shaft.
ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit)
• Transmits mainly the following signal to EPS control unit via
CAN communication.
- Vehicle speed signal (ABS)
Combination meter
• Transmits mainly the following signal to EPS control unit via
CAN communication.
- Vehicle speed signal (METER)
• Turns ON the EPS warning lamp according to the signal from
EPS control unit via CAN communication.

EPS SYSTEM : System Description
INFOID:0000000009267350
• EPS control unit performs an arithmetical operation on data, such as steering wheel turning force (sensor
signal) from the torque sensor, vehicle speed signal, etc. Then it generates an optimum assist torque signal
to the EPS motor according to the driving condition.
• In case of an error in the electrical system, the fail-safe function stops output signals to the EPS motor. Refer
STC-8, "EPS SYSTEM : Fail-Safe"
• EPS control unit decreases the output signal to EPS motor while extremely using the power steering func-
tion (e.g., full steering) consecutively for protecting EPS motor and EPS control unit (Overload protection
control). Refer to
STC-8, "EPS SYSTEM : Protection Function"
.
• Extensive steering at low speed will cause the ECU and MOTOR to heat up, once temperature reaches crit-
ical point ECU will reduce current to reduce heat up. System will recover as temperature lowers (reduced or
no assistance).

INPUT/OUTPUT SIGNAL
Communicates the signal from each control unit via CAN communication.
EPS WARNING LAMP INDICATION
• Turn ON when there is a malfunction in EPS system. If indicates that fail-safe mode is engaged and enters a
manual steering state (Control turning force steering wheel becomes heavy).

SYSTEM
• Also turns ON when ignition switch is turned ON, for purpose of lamp check. Turns OFF after the engine
starts, if system is normal.
CAUTION:
EPS warning lamp also turns ON due to data reception error, CAN communication error etc.
EPS SYSTEM : Fail-Safe
INFOID:0000000009267351
• If any malfunction occurs in the system and control unit detects the malfunction, EPS warning lamp in com-
bination meter turns ON to indicate system malfunction.
• When EPS warning lamp is ON, the system enters into a manual steering state. (Steering wheel turning
force becomes heavy.)
• Under abnormal vehicle speed signal conditions, vehicle speed is judged as constant.
EPS SYSTEM : Protection Function
INFOID:0000000009267352
EPS control unit decreases the output signal to EPS motor while extremely using the power steering function
(e.g., full steering) consecutively for protecting EPS motor and EPS control unit (Overload protection control).
While activating overload protection control, the assist torque gradually decreases, and the steering wheel
turning force becomes heavy. The normal assist torque reactivates by no steering.

DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM (EPS CONTROL UNIT)
CONSULT Function
INFOID:0000000009267353
FUNCTION
CONSULT can display each diagnostic item using the diagnostic test modes shown following.
*: The following diagnosis information is erased by erasing.
• DTC
• Freeze frame data (FFD)
ECU IDENTIFICATION
Displays the part number stored in the control unit.
SELF-DIAG RESULTS MODE
.
When “CRNT” is displayed on self-diagnosis result.
• The system is presently malfunctioning.
When “PAST” is displayed on self-diagnosis result.
• System malfunction in the past is detected, but the system is presently normal.
FREEZE FRAME DATA (FFD)
The following vehicle status is recorded when DTC is detected and is displayed on CONSULT.
DATA MONITOR MODE
*1: Almost in accordance with the value of “MOTOR SIG”. It is not a malfunction though these values are not
accorded when steering quickly.
Diagnostic test mode
Function
ECU identification
The part number stored in the control unit can be read.
Self diagnostic result
Self-diagnostic results and freeze frame data can be read and erased quickly.
*
Data monitor
Input/Output data in the EPS control unit can be read.
Item name
Display item
IGN COUNTER
(0-39)
The number of times that ignition switch is turned ON after the DTC is detected is displayed.
• When “0” is displayed: It indicates that the system is presently malfunctioning.
• When except “0” is displayed: It indicates that system malfunction in the past is detected, but the system is pres-
ently normal.
NOTE:
Each time when ignition switch is turned OFF to ON, numerical number increases in 1
→2→3...38→39.
When the operation number of times exceeds 39, the number does not increase and “39” is displayed until self-
diagnosis is erased.
Monitor item (Unit)
Remarks
BATTERY VOLT (V)
Displays the power supply voltage for EPS control unit.
TORQUE SENSOR (Nm)
Displays steering wheel turning force detected by torque sensor.
MOTOR CURRENT (A)
Displays the current value consumed by EPS motor.
*1
