| 7 | STEERING WHEEL OSCILLATION CHECK | All OK | Problems met | Operation |
| Check the type of steering wheel oscillation | Continue to Step 8 | The fault occurs when the steering wheel oscillation is slight | Replace the EPS system insulator (flexible coupling) | |
| The fault occurs when the steering wheel movements are sudden, similar to emergency manoeuvres | Replace the EPS system intermediate shaft | |||
| 8 | Continue as instructed by the tester | All OK | Problems met | Operation |
| Check that the fault is no longer present | End of diagnosis | Fault persists | Replace the EPS system Op. 4110D20 | |
