Power Steering Assist Disabled

POWER STEERING ASSIST DISABLED

DETECTING CONDITION:
CAN communication error (Engine rpm signal not received)

TROUBLE SYMPTOM:
The STEERING warning light is normal but there is no power steering assist (steering feels heavy).

NOTE:
^ Power steering assist is not started unless an ignition switch ON signal or engine speed signal is input.
^ In any of the following cases, the power steering assist is limited and steering wheel operation may become heavy. If the steering wheel is held to an end for a long time, or the steering wheel turning to right and left at slow speed is repeated during parking, the assist limitation (overheat protection control) may operate to prevent failures by overheat. In this case, by stopping the engine for approx. 10 minutes for cooling, the assist will start operating. While assist limitation (overheat protection control) is in active, "Assist limitation" is displayed in the [[EPS operating condition]] in the Subaru Select Monitor "Current Data Display & Save".
^ History can be confirmed on [[Overheating protection intervention history]] or [[IGN count from overheating protection]] of "Current Data Display & Save".
^ The overheat protection control system is normal operation, therefore, the STEERING warning light will not come on and there will be no DTC displayed.
^ If the power steering system connector is disconnected while cooling under the overheat protection control, different DTC may be recorded. If there is no DTC and assist limitation is in active, stop the engine for approx. 10 minutes for cooling.
