Many malfunctions in the electrical system are caused by poor harness and terminals.

Faults can also be caused by interference from other electrical systems, and mechanical or chemical damage.

Thoroughly check all connectors (and connections) for looseness, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, and/or damage.

Has a problem been found?

	▶ Repair as necessary and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
	▶ Go to "Power Circuit Inspection" procedure.

Ignition "OFF"

Disconnect EPS CM connector.

Ignition "ON" & Engine "OFF".

Measure voltage between ON/START INPUT terminal of EPS CM harness connector and chassis ground.

Is the measured voltage within specifications?

	▶ Go to "Ground Circuit Inspection" procedure.
	▶ Check for open or blown fuse referring to "Circuit Diagram". Repair open or short in power circuit between battery and EPS CM harness connector and then go to "Verification of vehicle Repair" procedure.

Ignition "OFF".

Disconnect EPS CM connector.

Measure resistance between ground terminal of EPS CM harness connector and chassis ground.

Is the measured resistance within specifications?

	▶ Substitute with a known-good steering column & EPS unit assembly and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace steering column & EPS unit assembly and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
	▶ Check for open or contact resistance in ground harness. Repair as necessary and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.
