Fail Safe

POWER STEERING CONTROL UNIT


Fail Safe


EPS system





- EPS system enters the fail-safe mode (that allows the steering force to be controlled without impairing the drive ability) if any of the input/output signals to/from EPS system (power steering control unit) deviate from the standard.

NOTE:
The system enters the fail-safe mode if the engine speed remains at 1,500 RPM or more for over 10 seconds while the vehicle is stopped. This is normal.
- The fail-safe function is cancelled when a vehicle speed signal of 2 km/h (1.2 MPH) or more is inputted or the key switch is turned OFF to ON. EPS system restores the normal operation at that time.
