7.Check EPS Control unit signal (4)
With CONSULT
Start the engine.
CAUTION:
Never drive the vehicle.
Turn steering wheel from full left stop to full right stop.
Select TORQUE SENSOR in DATA MONITOR in EPS.

Is the inspection result normal? YES >> GO TO 9.
NO >> GO TO 8.
8.CHECK EPS MOTOR
Perform the trouble diagnosis of EPS motor. Refer to STC-27, "Diagnosis Procedure".
Is the inspection result normal? YES >> GO TO 9.
NO >> Repair or replace the specific malfunctioning part.
9.CHECK STEERING WHEEL TURNING FORCE
Check the steering wheel turning force. Refer to ST-5, "Inspection".
Is the inspection result normal? YES >> Inspection End.
NO >> Check the steering wheel turning force for mechanical malfunction. Refer to ST-5, "Inspection".
