DI_a198 — Vdc Esp MC Press And Steering

Full alert identifier: DI_a198_vdcEspMCPressAndSteering

Alert description

The Drive Inverter (DI) is not receiving proper brake master cylinder pressure or steering angle signals from the Electronic Stability Program (ESP) and/or Electric Power Assisted Steering (EPAS).

Potential impact

Traction control and stability control may be degraded due to this error. The vehicle should be driven with increased caution if these systems are degraded.

Set condition

Brake master cylinder pressure from ESP and/or steering angle from EPAS are either not received by the DI or considered implausible. Alert log signal data should provide more information on specific condition(s) involved.

Clear condition

If this alert is set due to a log signal rate or freeze check, it will clear on the next drive cycle. If the alert is set due to CAN issues it will clear on the drive cycle after the CAN issues have been resolved.
