The following symptoms may occur during normal vehicle operation and if there is no EPS warning light illumination, it is not malfunction of EPS system.
After turning the ignition switch on, the steering wheel becomes heavier while it performs EPS system diagnostics, for about 2 seconds, then it becomes normal steering condition.
After turning the ignition switch on or off, EPS relay noise may occur but it is normal.
When it is steered, while the vehicle is stopped or in low driving speed, motor noise may occur but it is normal operating one.
Caution when ASP (Absolute Steering Position) calibration or EPS type recognition
Check if the battery is fully charged before ASP calibration or EPS type recognition.
Be careful not to disconnect any cables connected to the vehicle or scan tool during ASP calibration or EPS type recognition.
When the ASP calibration or EPS type recognition is completed, turn the ignition switch off and wait for several seconds, then start the engine to confirm normal operation of the vehicle.
