Work Procedure

1. Lift up the vehicle.
2. Set the vehicle to READY state or start the engine.
   CAUTION:

   Check that condition with the vehicle stopped.

3. Check that the battery voltage is 10 V or more.

GO TO STEP 2  .

WITH CONSULT: 

1. Select "EPS", "Work Support", and "POWER STEERING FLUID AIR BLEEDING" in sequence.
2. Touch "Start".
3. Perform the work below until the "The number of steering wheel operations" reaches "16".
   CAUTION:

   • If turned too quickly, air enters the fluid. Therefore, turn the steering wheel so that the value of "STEERING ANGLE SPEED" on the monitor is 120 deg/s or less.
   • Pay attention to the level of power steering fluid.
   • Turning the steering wheel continuously in the same direction does not increase the "The number of steering wheel operations". After turning the steering wheel all the way to the right, be sure to turn it all the way to the left, then turn it to the right again.
   • If Step 1 is not completed within 10 minutes after "Start" is pressed, time out occurs. Complete Step 1 within 10 minutes.
   • Because this is manual steering work, the steering wheel operation is heavy. This is not a system malfunction.
   • Slowly turn the steering wheel to the left until it reaches the stop and hold it there at a "STEERING TORQUE" of 5.0 Nm or more on the monitor until the "The number of steering wheel operations" increases.
   • Check that the "The number of steering wheel operations" increases.
   • Slowly turn the steering wheel to the right until it reaches the stop and hold it there at a "STEERING TORQUE" of 5.0 Nm or more on the monitor until the "The number of steering wheel operations" increases.
   • Check that the "The number of steering wheel operations" increases.

Is "Perform Step 2" displayed on the CONSULT screen?

YES 

After checking the level of power steering fluid, touch "NEXT". Then GO TO STEP 3  .

NO 

GO TO STEP   6  .

WITH CONSULT: 

Perform the work below until the "The number of steering wheel operations" reaches "8".

• Slowly turn the steering wheel to the left until it reaches the stop and hold it there at a "STEERING TORQUE" of 5.0 Nm or more on the monitor until the "The number of steering wheel operations" increases.
• Check that the "The number of steering wheel operations" increases.
• Slowly turn the steering wheel to the right until it reaches the stop and hold it there at a "STEERING TORQUE" of 5.0 Nm or more on the monitor until the "The number of steering wheel operations" increases.
• Check that the "The number of steering wheel operations" increases.

Is "Perform Step 3" displayed on the CONSULT screen?

YES 

After checking the level of power steering fluid, touch "NEXT". Then GO TO STEP 4  .

NO 

GO TO STEP   6  .

WITH CONSULT: 

Perform the work below until the "The number of steering wheel operations" reaches "2".

• Slowly turn the steering wheel to the left until it stops and hold it there at a "STEERING TORQUE" of 5.0 Nm or more on the monitor until the "The number of steering wheel operations" increases.
• Check that the "The number of steering wheel operations" increases.
• Slowly turn the steering wheel to the right until it stops and hold it there at a "STEERING TORQUE" of 5.0 Nm or more on the monitor until the "The number of steering wheel operations" increases.
• Check that the "The number of steering wheel operations" increases.

Is "Perform Step 4" displayed on the CONSULT screen?

YES 

Touch "NEXT". Then GO TO STEP 5  .

NO 

GO TO STEP   6  .

WITH CONSULT: 

Perform the work below until the "The number of steering wheel operations" reaches "8".

• Slowly turn the steering wheel to the left until it stops and hold it there at a "STEERING TORQUE" of 5.0 Nm or more on the monitor until the "The number of steering wheel operations" increases.
• Check that the "The number of steering wheel operations" increases.
• Slowly turn the steering wheel to the right until it stops and hold it there at a "STEERING TORQUE" of 5.0 Nm or more on the monitor until the "The number of steering wheel operations" increases.
• Check that the "The number of steering wheel operations" increases.

1. Ground the vehicle.
2. Set the vehicle to READY state or start the engine.
3. Turn the steering wheel all the way to the right and left. (Speed: 120 deg/s or less)
4. Repeat Step 3 approximately 10 times.
5. Turn the ignition switch OFF, and check the level of power steering fluid.
6. End of work

Is "The procedure has been successfully completed." displayed on the CONSULT screen?

YES 

Touch "EXIT". Then GO TO STEP 6  .

NO 

GO TO STEP   7  .

WITH CONSULT: 

Perform "EPS" self-diagnosis.

Is any DTC detected?
