Normal Operation

The PSCM communicates with the diagnostic scan tool and other module through the HS-CAN.

If the PSCM cannot communicate with the diagnostic scan tool or other modules, the EPAS system defaults to a pre-determined vehicle speed setting and the customer may experience a lack of assist or a heavy steering feel.

This generates a RVC for a new PSCM when directed to do so from pinpoint test.

AE1: CONFIRM PSCM REPLACEMENT WAS DIRECTED BY AN APPROPRIATE MANUAL TEST.

Did a pinpoint test in MODULE COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK to install a new PSCM?

Yes	No
INSTALL a new EPAS gear. REFER to Steering Gear .	Go to AE2.
