8.17. ELECTRIC POWER STEERING
SYSTEM (EPS)*
*EPS MODELS ONLY
Steering may become more difficult than usual for the following
reasons:
1. The handlebar was continuously turned or held to the full
turn stops with torque applied by drive. In this case ECU
works to protect the system from overheating by stopping
the power assisting. Stop turning the handlebar and wait
unit the system temperature drops, and the power
steering recovers
2. Fuses in the harness may have blown. There are several
reasons that the fuses may blow. Refer to the Fuse
section in this chapter for details.
3. Battery voltage has dropped. Voltage drop can happen
when the engine starts; inspect the battery voltage.
4. Cable harness or connectors may have been
disconnected. See an authorized dealer for service.
NOTE
If the steering becomes irregular or unusual for any reason
other than above, have an authorized dealer check the steering
and relevant components immediately. In some cases the
power steering’s neutral position can be affected by an
accident or bump.
