*1: The value changes according to load of power steering motor.

*2: This is in close agreement with a motor speed command value. Although a quick steering operation may cause disagreement, this is not a malfunction.

*3: Usually, 100% is displayed. An excessive steering operation gradually lowers the percentage. When left standing, the percentage returns to 100%.

*4: This may not agree with the speedometer indication immediately after ignition switch ON. This is not a malfunction.

Fail-safe

When an error occurs in the hydraulic pump electric power steering system, fail-safe brings the system to a halt (manual steering) or restricted (constant steering assist level) state. When the system is in a halt state, fail-safe turns ON the hydraulic pump electric power steering warning lamp to warn the driver that the hydraulic pump electric power steering system is in the manual steering state.

DTC Fail-safe condition
C1143 Certain steering assist force
C1601 Manual steering state
C1602 Manual steering state
C1606 Manual steering state
C1607 Certain steering assist force
C1608 Manual steering state
C1609 Certain steering assist force
U1000

Normal control

NOTE:

If the cause is in a different ECU, the state changes to fixed steering assist force.

Protection Function
  • When the steering wheel is operated repeatedly or turned all the way for a long period during parking or low-speed driving, the function of the hydraulic pump electric power steering system becomes limited to prevent the system from overheating. If the steering wheel is operated furthermore, the hydraulic pump electric power steering system stops and the hydraulic pump electric power steering system warning lamp may be turned ON. In this case, the steering wheel operation temporarily becomes hard. This is not a malfunction. When the engine is turned OFF (ignition switch OFF) and steering operation is stopped for a while, the temperature of the hydraulic pump electric power steering system decreases and the steering operation returns to normal after restarting the engine.

  • Then, the hydraulic pump electric power steering system warning lamp turns OFF. If the system is OFF under the protection state, the hydraulic pump electric power steering system warning lamp turns ON to warn that the system is in the manual steering state. (This is not a system malfunction.) In addition, the following DTC remains to distinguish from a malfunction:

DTC Nissan Murano Vehicle condition
C160A The system temporarily enters the manual steering state. (This is not a hydraulic pump electric power steering system malfunction.)
