Overview
| MLIT filing number | 2103350 |
|---|---|
| Type | Improvement Campaign (manufacturer improvement measure / 改善対策) |
| Date filed | October 5, 2006 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Honda |
| Component | Power steering |
| Production period | August 17, 2005 — January 31, 2006 |
| Vehicles affected | 9,679 units |
Issue
The control unit of the electric power steering (EPS) system has inadequate performance characteristics, causing the output voltage of the motor angle detection circuit within the unit to fluctuate. This instability corrupts the angle detection signal and triggers the fail-safe function. As a result, the EPS warning lamp illuminates, power assist shuts off, and steering effort increases.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, the angle detection signal of the EPS control unit is inspected. Any unit whose signal falls outside the inspection standard is replaced with a serviceable EPS control unit.
Affected models & chassis ranges
This filing lists 2 type code(s). A vehicle is affected if its chassis number falls within one of the ranges below.
| Type code (型式) | Model | Chassis ranges |
|---|---|---|
| DAA－FD3 | CIVIC HYBRID | FD3-1000005 — FD3-1002197 |
| DBA－FD1 | CIVIC | FD1-1000005 — FD1-1007490 |

状況
電動式パワーステアリング（ＥＰＳ）において、コントロールユニットの性能が不適切なため、ユニット内のモータ角度検出回路の出力電圧が一定とならないことから、角度検出信号が乱れてフェールセーフ機能が働くものがある。そのため、ＥＰＳ警告灯が点灯するとともにパワーアシストが停止し、ハンドルの操作力が増大するおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、ＥＰＳコントロールユニットの角度検出信号を点検し、点検基準を外れるものはＥＰＳユニットコントロールユニットを良品と交換する。
