General Troubleshooting Information: Self-Diagnosis
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Honda Fit, 2012 Honda Fit, 2011 Honda Fit, 2010 Honda Fit, and 2009 Honda Fit. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Self-diagnosis can be classified into three categories:
- Initial diagnosis: Done right after the engine starts and until the EPS indicator goes off.
- Regular diagnosis: Done right after the initial diagnosis until the ignition switch is turned to LOCK (0).
- Steering diagnosis: Done during regular diagnosis while turning the steering wheel.
The EPS control unit does these functions when a problem is detected by self-diagnosis:
- Turns on the EPS indicator.
- Memorizes the DTC.
- Stops power assist and manual steering operation resumes.NOTE: For DTCs 11-02, 12-01, 21-03, 23-02, 23-04, and 38-01 the EPS indicator will go off automatically, and the system returns to normal.
