steerin motor overheated. just let it cool down. happens when you turn too much too fast. few other bros kenna this b4.

[josho]

Yeah man.. I just found out someone posted way long ago.. But how many turns and times will make it over heat? Then what if I round up and down at CP to find lot??? I only read that too many locking cause such problem... luckily its minor issue.... phewww

hello carmodz

can like that ah?
how come turn too much too fast? in what situations they will turn so fast and so much?

[CustomGolf]

It will only happen if you do a lock to lock and hold on, release the lock a little and you'll not experience that. When you lock your steering at max during turning, you'll telling the electrical motor to push harder thus the over heating due to overload.

Oh, this is new to me too.

Happened to me before, during parking also when reversed and go front few times (tink 3 or 4 times) to park nicely, suddenly power steering became no "power", really damned "heavy" where u really need lots of energy to turn.. panic and worry, parked my car and stopped the engine. But when starts engine again, ok le.. strange.. then never happen again.. phew..

Since we're on the topic of steering wheel, anyone experienced a cranking sound when you steer inside a MSCP? Is it normal from our power-steering? 

[papajo82]

Cranking sound not sure bro but now, whenever i turn my steering wheel, some sort of weird sound emit from it. Anyone encounter this before. I know its not the steering coupling or joint fault as this will emit "kong Kong" sound. This time is more subtle, sound like whirring sound. Pek cek ah . Just 1 month ago, TCM change my steering joint.

[darrylker]

Think I know what you mean...I also experienced the weird sound when steering & the 'kong kong' sound, especially inside MSCP...not so much during road driving....

So you still have this prob after TCM changed your steering joint?

[papajo82]

"kong kong" sound gone... now "whir Whir" sound. Mine lagi worst, not in mscp but on normal roads also. Whenever i turn the steering wheel, "whir whir" will SING and give feedback to me! 

[iagree]

Drive back to TCM to ask them to re-check?

Sigh.

Overall, this Latio is good in terms of comfort and power !!

But the plastic problem, is sick!

Steering motor overheat? what type of motor is it using, anybody knows? Is it a brushed or brushless type... that kinda sucks. Reminds me not to turn when stationary.

[josho]

Can turn but dun lock it lor... then safe.

I also have the clip clip sound while turning, I thought it is usual? Just like you put on signal, you turn and there's sound, after releasing it the signal cut off? When doing the turning, i will hear 2 clipping sound depend on how many turns i did. hmm

Hi all,
I used to own a Nissan March K12. would have a "ta ta" sound when I turned the steering wheel during parking. bought it back to TC and they replaced some part in the steeling. after that, ok liao.

so now, after I got my latio, I faced the same problem again. Need to -revisit TC again...

Hi bro,

[reefy]

COuld be a major operation as they told me that the march need to bunk in 1 nite there.    Yup... its is covered un der warranty...

I think if got sound/noise near steering is bad.
If it is dashboard, shld be quite ok. not so serious.
if steering, i thk must ask TCM to check!

Not sure if you are referring to the problem mentioned in another thread where if you turn on signal light and turn, you will have the click click sound.  But if you turn without switching on the signal light, then no click sound.   When I told TCM during last servicing, they said it is normal.  The technician even showed me three other latio (who are also there for servicing) and their clicking sound was much louder than mine (touch wood).  So I cannot complain liao as mine is not loud.

This noise should nnot happen if the steering is normal leh!
