EPS CM confirms driver’s driving intention by receving ENG rpm signal from PCM (Power train Control Module), or ECM(Electronic Control Module) while judging the failure of vehicle speed sensor. ESP use a maximum of 45A controlling ESP motor. If ESP motor is operating in idle, or engine rpm decreases due to abnormally high generator load, the engine stops or battery is discharged. To prevent this situation, When motor consume over 25A in engine idle, ESP CM grounds 12V voltage, which is outputted from ECU, and sends idle-up signal to engine ECU. If motor consume less than 20A, or vehicle speed is faster than 5Km/h, EPS CM turns "OFF" the idleup signal.
Item | Detecting Condition | Possible Cause |
DTC strategy | ● Signal check | ● Open/short in signal circuit ● Contact resistance in connections. ● Faulty circuit to be related with PCM ● Faulty PCM |
Enable conditions | ● IG ON | |
Threshold value | ● Engine speed < 400 rpm & vehicle speed > 50 kph | |
Diagnosis time | ● 20 sec | |
Fail safe | ● Motor : Current decrease 45A / 4sec ● Relay : ON ● Fail lamp : ON ● Restoration condition : Power "OFF" or engine speed > 500 rpm |
