While the engine is running, this warning light illuminates when a malfunction has been detected in the electric power steering system.
NOTE If the steering wheel is operated in the following ways, the power steering control system may temporarily limit the power assist in order to prevent the system components, such as the control computer and drive motor, from overheating.
At this time, there will be more resistance when steering. However this is not a malfunction.
