Defect
The fault-detection software in the electric power steering controller is incorrect. When battery voltage is low at engine start or at restart following an idling stop, the controller may falsely detect a fault. This causes a warning light to illuminate and disables the steering assist function, increasing steering effort.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, reprogram the electric power steering controller with the corrected software, or replace the electric power steering controller with the corrected part.

状況
電動パワーステアリングコントローラの不具合を検出するプログラムが不適切なため、エンジン始動時またはアイドリングストップ後の再始動時にバッテリー電圧が低下していると、不具合として誤って検出することがある。そのため、警告灯が点灯するとともにステアリングのアシスト機能が停止し、操舵力が増大するおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、電動パワーステアリングコントローラの制御プログラムを対策プログラムに書換える、または、電動パワーステアリングコントローラを対策品と交換する。
