Hyundai Tucson: EPS Type Recognition

WARNING

When missing the EPS Type Recognition, occure a problem with motor driven power steering performance

EPS Type Recognition procedures

1. Connect self-diagnosis connector(16pins) located in the lower of driver side crash pad to self-diagnosis device.
2. Turn the self-diagnosis device after key is ON.
3. Turn the steering wheel to straight ahead position.
4. After Selecting the "vehicle model" and "system", select the "EPS Type Recognition" on diagnostic tool vehicle selection screen.

5. Remove the DTC.
6. Turn off the IG switch and wait for 20 seconds or more before starting the engine. And then make sure that MDPS works properly.

SAS Calibration

• Steering-angle sensor detects the steering angle and steering angle speed. Steering angle and steering angle speed are used for steering wheel damping and return controls in addition to providing assistance torque.

WARNING

• You can use a scan tool to (diagnostic tool) check if the battery voltage is proper before perform the "SAS Calibration".
• Make sure that no connector engaged to the vehicle or scan tool is disconnected during the "SAS Calibration".
• Once the "SAS Calibration" is complete, turn off the IG switch and wait for 10 seconds or more before starting the engine to check the operation.

SAS Calibration procedures

1. Connect self - diagnosis connector (16pins) located in the lower of driver side crash pad to self - diagnosis device.
2. Turn the self - diagnosis device after key is ON.
3. Turn the steering wheel to straight ahead position.
4. After Selecting the "vehicle model" and "system", select the "SAS Calibration" on diagnostic tool vehicle selection screen.
