NOTE
Only update the software if the symptom is present on the vehicle.
SYMPTOM
On certain vehicles, after applying a small amount of input to the steering wheel and letting go, the steering wheel may
start to shimmy on its own. This occurs because the rotational resistance of steering column assemblies varies on some
vehicles. This only occurs when the engine is on and the vehicle is at a complete stop.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
There is a problem with the EPS software.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Using the i-HDS, inspect the EPS software version. Only update the EPS software if it is an earlier version than what is
shown in SOFTWARE INFORMATION.
WARRANTY CLAIM INFORMATION
The normal warranty applies.
