SSPS System Self-Diagnosis: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Suzuki Verona. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
If IGN is turned ON, the warning lamp blinks 3 times for 3 sec. and then OFF. The SSPS control module has the self-diagnostic feature. If any malfunction occurs, the controller illuminates the warning lamp as well as shut off the current to the magnetic coil to result in heavy power steering effort for safety. Trouble codes are displayed and erased by the Scan tool.
