Diagnosis with GDS

EPS Type Recognition

Hyundai Palisade. Repair procedures
  • If EPS type recognition is not performed, a problem will occur with the motor driven power steering performance.
EPS Type Recognition Procedures
  1. Connect the self-diagnosis connector (16-pin) located at the bottom of the driver's side airbag to the self-diagnosis device.
  2. Turn on the scan tool after turning the ignition switch ON.
  3. Turn the steering wheel to the straight-ahead position.
  4. After selecting "Vehicle Model" and "System", select "EPS Type Recognition" on the GDS vehicle selection screen.

  5. Clear the diagnostic trouble code.
  6. Turn the IG switch off and wait at least 20 seconds before starting the engine. Then verify that the MDPS operates correctly. SAS Calibration
    • The steering angle sensor detects the steering wheel angle and steering angular velocity. The steering wheel angle and steering speed are used to control damping and steering wheel return in addition to providing assist torque.
    Hyundai Palisade. Repair procedures
    • You can use a scan tool (GDS) to check whether the battery voltage is normal before performing "SAS Calibration".
    • Make sure no connector is disconnected from the vehicle or the scan tool is disconnected during "SAS Calibration".
    • After completing "SAS Calibration," turn the IG switch off and wait 10 seconds or more before starting the engine to check operation.
  7. Connect the self-diagnosis connector (16-pin), located in the lower panel on the driver's side, to the diagnostic device.
  8. Turn on the scan tool after turning the ignition switch ON.
  9. Turn the steering wheel to the straight-ahead position.
  10. After selecting "Vehicle Model" and "System," select "SAS Calibration" on the GDS vehicle selection screen.
