POWER STEERING SYSTEM (for 1VD-FTV with DPF) - FAIL-SAFE CHART

If a problem occurs in the power steering system, the power steering warning light in the combination meter comes on and power steering assist is stopped, locked at a particular point or decreased simultaneously to protect the system.

FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION

If the power steering ECU cannot receive the steering angle signal, VGRS relative angle signal, steering zero point memory, vehicle speed signal or engine speed signal, the power steering warning light in the combination meter illuminates and the vehicle enters fail-safe mode.
