Sluggish power steering on Hyundai i 20 - Fault code C1603 is displayed

If the electric power steering on the vehicles mentioned above is sluggish or the steering assistance is insufficient, the fault memory of the steering control unit can be read out first. If the fault code C1603 (thermal overload protection activated) is stored here, an overloaded power steering electric motor is a possible cause. This can be triggered by permanently holding the steering at the steering stop. This activates the overheating protection, which means that the steering assistance only works to a limited extent.

 

To remedy this, the fault code should be deleted and the steering system should be used in such a way that it is not being permanently operated at the full steering angle.

 

If applicable, this information can also apply to other vehicle models.
