Fail safe list1. Fail safe list
(1) When the power steering computer ASSY detects a malfunction, to protect the system it suspends power assist or continues to perform control under special conditions.
NOTE:
^ If there is repeated steering wheel operation when the vehicle is stopped or driving slowly, or the steering wheel is kept at its turning angle limit for a long period of time, the power assist level may be reduced in order to prevent the motor or computer from overheating. In this case, the system will return to normal if there is no steering wheel operation for approximately 10 minutes with the engine at idle speed.
^ If the battery is not sufficiently charged or there is a temporary drop in voltage, the power assist level may be reduced and the P/S warning light may be turned on. In this case, it will return to a normal state when the battery voltage recovers.
