KJ-0335-0

For the electric power steering (EPS), the control unit may not function to the required standards, and the output voltage of the motor angle detection circuit in the unit may not be maintained. Therefore, the angle detection signals may fluctuate, and this may cause the fail-safe function to be activated. If this occurs, the EPS warning light may illuminate and the power assist may stop functioning, which could make the steering heavier.
