Mtr Overheat

When the vehicle is stopped or traveling at low speed, and steering operations are performed repeatedly or the steering wheel is turned all the way to the side and held there for a long time, assist may be limited in order to prevent overheating of the power steering motor assembly and power steering ECU assembly.

After 10 minutes elapse with the power switch on (READY) and no steering operations being performed, the system will return to normal.

After recovering from the overheated condition, assist can be performed as usual.
