Fail Safe Operation

Fail Safe Remarks
FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION (Active damper suspension)
The active damper suspension electronically controls the shock absorber dampening force. If, for some reason, the dampening force falls under any of the conditions listed in the "Fail-safe items" table below, the fail-safe system will activate to maintain a constant level of shock absorber dampening force. If symptoms (such as unstable steering, unpleasant riding comfort, etc.) are pointed out, check and correct the faulty part or area using the diagnostic procedure under "Diagnostic Procedure 6 (Hard or soft feel)".




FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION (Electric control power steering)
The electric control power steering (EPS) electrically controls the solenoid valve in response to vehicle speeds. If any of the conditions listed in the table below are encountered, the fail-safe system will activate so that a constant level of steering force is maintained during high-speed operation. If abnormal steering force is indicated, check and correct the problem using the diagnostic procedure under "Diagnostic Procedure 7 (Heavy steering operation during stationary turns)".
