EPS DTC Troubleshooting: 21-01, 21-02
DTC 21-01:
 Excessive Change of the Vehicle Speed Signal (Regular Diagnosis)
DTC 21-02:
 Comparison Between the Vehicle Speed and the Engine Speed Signal (Regular Diagnosis)
NOTE:
  • If the MIL stays on, or the D indicator blinks at the same time as DTC 21-01 or DTC 21-02 is indicated, troubleshoot the PGM-FI system or A/T model: automatic transmission system, then recheck for DTC 21-01 or DTC 21-02.
  • Even though the system is operating normally, the EPS indicator will come on caused by the detecting condition of DTC 21-01 or DTC 21-02.
  • The ABS indicator may come on during this troubleshoot. If so, clear the DTC related to the ABS.
