Hyundai Tucson: Motor Driven Power Steering / Repair procedures

- A/S Repair produres MDPS System A/S Workflow

1.Checking Connectors and Wiring.Check for damage, push-back, or improper connection in each connector and wiring.

(1)Check the wiring on the vehicle side.

– Check for open / short - circuit due to faulty connection, damage, or foreign substance.

(2)Check the motor connector.

– Terminal Expansion and damage

• If a problem such as terminal expansion or damage occurs during the wiring inspection process, be sure to replace the MDPS power pack assembly.

(3)Check TAS side (A) and powerpack side (B) wiring.

– Inspect each connector and wiring for damage, push backs, or incorrect connections.

• For DTC C125901 / C125929 / C125938 / C129002, replace the MDPS wiring.(Refer to Motor Driven Power Steering (MDPS) - "MDPS Wiring")

• If no problem is found during the MDPS wiring check, replace the MDPS column & housing.(Refer to Motor Driven Power Steering (MDPS) - "MDPS Column & Housing")

– This bulletin provides Motor Driven Power Steering (MDPS) diagnostic procedure using diagnostic tool to diagnose theheavy steering effort, abnormal position of steering parts and MIL illumination in steering system.

– diagnostic tool judges the MDPS normal / abnormal state by calculating the MDPS motor torque generated when turning the steering wheel to left and right at 360˚ per 3 seconds.

1.Connect self - diagnosis connector (16pins) located in the lower of driver side crash pad to self - diagnosis device.

2.Turn the self - diagnosis device after key is ON.

3.After Selecting the "vehicle model" and "system", select the "MDPS TEST" on diagnostic tool vehicle selection screen.

4.Prepare a vehicle according to the required vehicle’s conditions.

5.Search the DTCs relevant to the MDPS and then erase them if found.

6.Perform the MDPS TEST.

7.If the results of MDPS performance inspection are "OK", click "OK" and then finish the service work.

8.If the results of MDPS inspection are "Check", click "Inspection" and then inspect below items.

(1)MDPS Warning light illuminated

– Inspect DTCs relevant to the steering system.

(2)Vibration and Noise

– Inspect MDPS portions where are mounted to the body. (Checking tightening conditions of bolts and nuts)

– Inspect universal joint mounting bolts.

(3)Inspection for heavy steering effort

– Inspect tire pressure and width.

– Check that the heavy steering effort occurs or not when vehicle speed is not received.

– Check DTCs relevant to the CAN communication error.

• Failure occurs due to internal damage because of the drop of and shock and excessive external force on the new partial component.→ Be cautious of shock on the partial component and replace the damaged part (due to drop, etc.) with a new one.

• When fastening the steering, excessive impact may result in twisting the center point of the torque sensor.

• When removing/installing the connector the wiring may be damaged (deformed) by excessive external force.

• Be cautious when storing and replacing the partial components under the abnormal temperature and humidity conditions.
