ASP Calibration Procedure

  2. Activate the self-diagnosis tool after turning the ignition on with the key button.
  3. Turn the steering wheel in a straight line.
  4. After selecting "Vehicle Model" and "System", select "ASP Calibration" on the GDS vehicle selection screen.
  5. Erase the trouble code.
  6. Turn the ALL switch off and wait at least 10 seconds before starting the engine. Then check that the MDPS operates correctly.
