Operation
The push-return switch transmits signals to the steering wheel heating module.
Pressing the switch on once repeatedly cycles the unit between the ON and OFF modes.
If the power is cut off during operation, the switch is reset to off status.
Therefore steering wheel heating module is initialized to off status.

 Steering System

Description
EPS (Electric power steering, Column assist type) system uses an electric motor to assist the steering effort andit operate without
consumption of engine output.
EPS control module controls the motor operation according to information received from the each sensor and CAN (Controller Area Network),
resulting in a more precise and timely control of steering assist than conventional engine-driven hydraulic systems. Components (Steering
Angle Sensor, Torque Sensor, Fail-safe relay, etc.) of the EPS system are located inside the steering column. EPS unit assembly, steering
column, and EPS unit assembly must not be disassembled for inspection. They must be replaced if necessary.

The following symptoms may occur during normal vehicle operation and if there is no EPS warning light illumination, it is not malfunction
of EPS system.
• After turning the ignition switch on, the steering wheel becomes heavier while it performs EPS system diagnostics, for about 2
seconds, then it becomes normal steering condition.
• After turning the ignition switch on or off, EPS relay noise may occur but it is normal.
• When it is steered, while the vehicle is stopped or in low driving speed, motor noise may occur but it is normal operating one.

ASP (Absolute Steering Position) calibration or EPS type recognition

• Check if the battery is fully charged before ASP calibration or EPS type recognition.
• Be careful not to disconnect any cables connected to the vehicle or scan tool during ASP calibration or EPS type recognition.
• When the ASP calibration or EPS type recognition is completed, turn the ignition switch off and wait for several seconds, then start
the engine to confirm normal operation of the vehicle.

ASP Calibration
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 "ASP Calibration" on GDS vehicle selection screen.
4. Follow the process as below.
