C0895

DTC C0895





Circuit Description
The power steering control module (PSCM) has a discrete battery positive voltage supply circuit. The PSCM monitors the voltage level on this circuit to ensure the electric power steering (EPS) system has adequate voltage levels to perform the system functions.

DTC Descriptor





This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC C0895 Device Voltage
This vehicle has DTCs which include DTC symptoms.

Conditions for Running the DTC
The ignition is ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
EPS system battery voltage is less than 9.55 volts or greater than 17.5 volts.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
^ DTC C0896 is stored in memory.
^ The instrument panel cluster (IPC) message center displays the PWR STR warning message.
^ Steering assist is reduced.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC
^ A current DTC will clear when EPS system voltage is 9.55-17.5 volts.
^ A history DTC will clear after 100 consecutive ignition cycles with EPS system voltage between 9.55 volts and 17.5 volts.

Diagnostic Aids
The scan tool can be used to view the number of times a low battery voltage incident has occurred. If an intermittent malfunction exists, refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections for further diagnosis.
