312000586 - H026 NO ELECTRIC STEERING POWER ASSISTANCE WITH FAILURE WARNING LIGHT NOT ON

The Customer complains of failed operation (hardness when steering) without the failure warning light coming on
Test results
0PRELIMINARY CHECKSAll OKProblems encounteredOperation
The Customer complains of a loss in performance without the warning light coming on, especially after short radius steering manoeuvres.Move on to Step 1The same as the Customer.DO NOT replace the Electric Steering Unit.The system is working perfectly.Only the thermal protection specific to the operation of the electric steering has intervened.
1VISUAL INSPECTIONAll OKProblems encounteredOperation
With the system active, the steering wheel spontaneously rotates to the left or the right.Move on to Step 2The steering wheel does not spontaneously rotate to the left or the right.Replace the electric steering unit.    Op. 4110D20 STEERING ELECTRICAL CONTROL DEVICE - R R
2VISUAL INSPECTIONAll OKProblems encounteredOperation
Strong steering wheel vibrations with the vehicle stationary, constantly, or in certain steering positions.Move on to Step 31. Steering box defective2. No problems are detected in the steering box1. DO NOT replace the Electric Steering unit2. Replace the electric steering unit.    Op. 4110D20 STEERING ELECTRICAL CONTROL DEVICE - R R
3CHECK USING DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENTAll OKProblems encounteredOperation
Connect the Examiner diagnostic equipment in Parameter Reading mode for the Electric Steering Node, and check the parameter values and that there are no errors.Move on to Step 91. Impossible to connect to the control unit.2. Low battery voltage parameter reading.3. Presence of errors1. Move on to Step 42. Move on to Step 83. Move on to Step 10
4ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY CHECKAll OKProblems encounteredOperation
Check the electrical power supply to the Electric Steering Node is correct. With the panel off, check for a voltage of around 12.5V at the blue power supply connector. With the panel on, check for the same voltage at PIN 1 of the 10-way black connectorMove on to Step 51. Battery voltage faulty.2. Fault in positive electrical supply and/or earth1. Move on to Step 82. Replace the component causing the problem (in the case of a fuse, find out what caused the damage).
5ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS CHECKAll OKProblems encounteredOperation
Check the electrical connections for the Electric Steering Node and the Body Computer, searching for any loose connections creating occasional breaks in the power supply. In particular, make sure that every PIN is correctly connected and fitted in place.Move on to Step 6Electrical connections not operationalRenew the electrical connections
6NO RESIDUAL VOLTAGE CHECKAll OKProblems encounteredOperation
Start up the engine and then switch it off. At this point, with the panel off, check that the voltage at PIN 1 of the 10-way black connector is effectively = 0 V.Move on to Step 7The voltage at PIN 1 with the panel off is more than 0 V.DO NOT replace the Electric Steering Unit. Electrical equipment problem.
7CHECK USING DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENTAll OKProblems encounteredOperation
Recheck the possibility of connecting to the Electric Steering Node using the Examiner.Move on to Step 3Impossible to connect to the control unit.Replace the electric steering unit.    Op. 4110D20 STEERING ELECTRICAL CONTROL DEVICE - R R
8BATTERY ELECTRICAL CHECKAll OKProblems encounteredOperation

Check the following, in order:

  • Battery voltage correct.
  • Battery wiring correctly fastened.
End of diagnosis1. Services battery voltage faulty.2. Loose connections detected in the Electric Steering Node power supply circuit1. Restore the correct operation of the battery.2. Restore the correct wiring.
9ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS CHECKAll OKProblems encounteredOperation
Check the electrical connections for the Electric Steering Node, searching for any loose connections creating occasional breaks in the power supply. In particular, make sure that every PIN is correctly connected and fitted in place.Take GREAT care over the positive battery terminal leading to the 70 A fuse for the electric steering (left terminal). If it is secured but NOT correctly fitted in place, disconnect it and fasten it correctly.End of diagnosisElectrical connections not operational.Renew the damaged electrical connections.
10CHECK USING DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENTAll OKProblems encounteredOperation
Check for the presence of the following error using the Examiner in Electric Steering Node mode:C1005, bulb faultyEnd of diagnosisBulb faulty.DO NOT replace the Electric Steering Assembly. Check for the presence of similar errors in the Instrument Panel. Check the operation of the Instrument Panel and Body Computer Node Check the CAN connections.
