| 2. | INSPECT POWER STEERING MOTOR ASSEMBLY |
| (a) Remove the power steering motor assembly. Click here |
|
(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
| Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (PHA) - 2 (PHB) | 25°C (77°F) | 12.7 to 17.2 mΩ |
| 2 (PHB) - 3 (PHC) | 25°C (77°F) | 12.7 to 17.2 mΩ |
| 3 (PHC) - 1 (PHA) | 25°C (77°F) | 12.7 to 17.2 mΩ |
| 1 (PHA) - Motor case | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
| 2 (PHB) - Motor case | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
| 3 (PHC) - Motor case | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
| NG | | REPLACE POWER STEERING MOTOR ASSEMBLY |
|
| 3. | READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (MOTOR TERMINAL VOLT) |
(a) Turn the power switch off.
(b) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(c) Turn the power switch on (READY).
(d) Turn the Techstream on.
(e) Enter the following menus: Chassis / EMPS / Data List.
(f) Select the items "Motor Terminal Volt (U)", "Motor Terminal Volt (V)" and "Motor Terminal Volt (W)" in the Data List and read the value displayed on the Techstream.
Chassis > EMPS > Data List| Tester Display | Measurement Item | Range | Normal Condition | Diagnostic Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Motor Terminal Volt(U) | Motor terminal voltage (A phase) | Min.: 0.000 V Max.: 98.000 V | Power switch on (READY) and steering wheel being turned: Value changes within 4 to 35 V range | - |
| Motor Terminal Volt(V) | Motor terminal voltage (B phase) | Min.: 0.000 V Max.: 98.000 V | Power switch on (READY) and steering wheel being turned: Value changes within 4 to 35 V range | - |
| Motor Terminal Volt(W) | Motor terminal voltage (C phase) | Min.: 0.000 V Max.: 98.000 V | Power switch on (READY) and steering wheel being turned: Value changes within 4 to 35 V range | - |
