Protection Function
- When battery voltage malfunctions temporarily, system overheats continuously and system is overloaded continuously, system is in protection mode temporarily. This is not malfunction.
- When a causative condition is cleared, the system returns to normal control automatically. (Except C13E5-00)
- Since the protection function condition is not malfunction, power steering warning lamp does not turn ON. (Except C13E5-00) The following DTCs remain to distinguish from malfunction.
