  6. Is DTC status displayed as Present?

    YES 

    • Carefully re-do this troubleshooting guide steps.
    • Problem still occurs, replace, EPCU and then go to, "Initialization of Automatic Resolver Offset Calibration" procedure.

    NO 

    • Fault is intermittent caused by poor contact in the sensor's and/or EPCU's connector or was repaired and EPCU memory was not cleared. Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage. Repair or replace as necessary and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
      CAUTION: Perform "Initialization of Automatic Resolver Offset Calibration" with GDS in case EPCU or motor is replaced or repaired, and then operate Electric Water Pump (EWP) to recirculate and refill coolant.
