x19 is a diagnostic overview register, registers 1A to 1E provides additional granularity for EPAS digital current sensor (DCS) fault concerns
Any bit is set from the EPAS DCS x19 register
This alert is primarily informational and is used for logging purposes. No expected impact on vehicle functionality.
Electronic Power Assist Steering (EPAS) digital current sensor (DCS) register CREGx or CTUBx voltage less than expected
Internal digital current sensor (DCS) CBoot flag is set
This alert is primarily informational and is used for logging purposes. No expected impact on vehicle functionality.
Phase PWM feedback control error
Phase PWM feedback control error
Reduced steering assist
Electric Power Assisted Steering (EPAS) reports unexpected error between internal angle sensor and steering column control module (SCCM) angle sensor.
The steering system detects divergence between its internal angle sensor and external angle sensor greater than 30 degrees.
Angle measurement divergence could indicate steering system belt slip or other mechanical failure.
Electric Power Assisted Steering (EPAS) reports its secondary Electronic Control Unit (ECU) activated External Angle Control (EAC).
The EPAS secondary ECU activates EAC due to a condition affecting the primary ECU.
Backup EAC is active due to a detected condition on the primary steering ECU.
Electric Power Assisted Steering (EPAS) reports that power steering is unavailable for the remainder of the current power cycle.
EPAS monitor detects a condition affecting EPAS and disables power steering.
Power steering is unavailable for the remainder of the current drive cycle.
Gate drive SPI communication error
Gate drive SPI communication errors
Reduced steering assist
Controller Area Network (CAN) message received from the vehicle security controller (VCSEC) electronic control unit (ECU) has an invalid counter value, indicating an error in data integrity has been detected.
CAN message counter received from the VCSEC ECU does not increment as expected.
The VCSEC to Electronic Power-Assisted Steering (EPAS) interface is interrupted. Tire-based steering tuning may be affected.
Controller Area Network (CAN) messages received from the vehicle security controller (VCSEC) electronic control unit (ECU) has an invalid checksum value, indicating an error in data integrity has been detected.
CAN message received from the VCSEC ECU has an invalid checksum value.
The VCSEC to Electronic Power-Assisted Steering (EPAS) interface is interrupted. Tire-based steering tuning may be affected.
DI_speed - backup vehicle speed - message not received.
Electronic Power Assist Steering (EPAS) does not receive DI_speed on CAN as expected
The power steering is operational but the level of assist is decreased and External Angle Controller is inhibited.
Electric Power Assisted Steering (EPAS) reports that power steering is unavailable for the remainder of the current power cycle.
EPAS monitor detects a condition affecting EPAS and disables power steering.
Power steering is unavailable for the remainder of the current drive cycle.
Electric Power Assisted Steering (EPAS) reports its secondary Electronic Control Unit (ECU) activated External Angle Control (EAC).
The EPAS secondary ECU activates EAC due to a condition affecting the primary ECU.
Backup EAC is active due to a detected condition on the primary steering ECU.
Invalid DI_speedCounter value received
DI_speedCounter is not incrementing correctly
Electronic Power Assist Steering (EPAS) will use V_max reduced assist level if invalid DI_speed message received
Invalid DI_speedChecksum value received
Unexpected DI_speedChecksum value received by EPAS
Electronic Power Assist Steering (EPAS) will use V_max reduced assist level if invalid DI_speed message received
Electronic Power Assist Steering (EPAS) transition to DI vehicle speed source
ESP_wheelRotation missing or degraded ESP_wheelSpeedQF or degraded DI_speed backup vehicle speed message
Electronic Power Assist Steering (EPAS) is in reduced assist state, EAC is inhibited
Electronic Power Assist Steering (EPAS) maximum vehicle speed assist applied
DI vehicle speed QF degraded below acceptable state
Electronic Power Assist Steering (EPAS) assist at max vehicle speed level
Current sensor in backup measurement mode
Current sensor switched to backup measurement due to low printed circuit board (PCB) temperature & serial number
Electronic Power Assist Steering (EPAS) current sense module in backup measurement mode
Significant main current sensor path offset detected
Electronic Power Assist Steering (EPAS) detected a significant offset in calculated main current sensor path output
Steering feel potentially compromised
