EPS Troubleshooting (LT-A750XP/ZK9)

The EPS is equipped with a self-diagnosis function. The
detected malfunction is stored as a diagnostic trouble
code which causes the EPS indicator light to light up or
flash in set patterns to indicate the malfunction.
Diagnostic trouble codes saved in the memory remain
stored even through the ignition switch is turned OFF
and they cannot be deleted without performing the DTC
erasing procedure. In order to repair the EPS correctly,
ask the customer for the exact circumstances under
which the malfunction occurred, then check the EPS
indicator light and the output diagnostic trouble codes.
Explain to the customer that depending on how the
vehicle is operated, the EPS indicator light may light up
even though the EPS is operating correctly.
