  7. Open wire check (+B EPS line)

    - 1. Disconnect the following connector.

    EPS control unit connector A (11P)

    - 2. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
      EPS control unit connector A (11P): disconnected
    Test point 1 EPS control unit connector A (11P) No. 2 - Refer to: EPS Control Unit Connector for Inputs and Outputs (With Auto Idle Stop System) (2015-17),  or EPS Control Unit Connector for Inputs and Outputs (Without Auto Idle Stop System) (2015-17) 
    Test point 2 Body ground

    Is there battery voltage?

    YES 

    The +B EPS wire is OK. Go to step 8.

    NO 

    Repair an open in the wire between the under-hood fuse/relay box and the EPS control unit.

  8. Open wire check (IG1 VSA/ABS line)

    - 1. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    - 2. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle ON mode
      EPS control unit connector A (11P): disconnected
    Test point 1 EPS control unit connector A (11P) No. 9 - Refer to: EPS Control Unit Connector for Inputs and Outputs (With Auto Idle Stop System) (2015-17),  or EPS Control Unit Connector for Inputs and Outputs (Without Auto Idle Stop System) (2015-17) 
    Test point 2 Body ground

    Is there battery voltage?

    YES 

    The IG1 VSA/ABS wire is OK. Go to step 9.

    NO 

    Repair an open in the wire between the under-dash fuse/relay box and the EPS control unit.

  9. Open wire check (GND line)

    - 1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    - 2. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
      EPS control unit connector A (11P): disconnected
    Test point 1 EPS control unit connector A (11P) No. 1 - Refer to: EPS Control Unit Connector for Inputs and Outputs (With Auto Idle Stop System) (2015-17),  or EPS Control Unit Connector for Inputs and Outputs (Without Auto Idle Stop System) (2015-17) 
    Test point 2 Body ground

    Is there continuity?

    YES 

    The GND wire is OK. Go to step 10.

    NO 

    Repair an open in the wire between the EPS control unit and body ground (G402).

  10. Open wire check (F-CAN_H, F-CAN_L lines (L4 engine) or F-CAN A_H, F-CAN A_L lines (V6 engine))

    - 1. Disconnect the following connectors.

    Gauge control module 32P connector

    - 2. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
      EPS control unit connector A (11P): disconnected
      Gauge control module 32P connector: disconnected
