Main Menu Table Of Contents Instrument Panel Indicators Electronically Controlled Power Steering System (ECPS) Indicator This indicator normally comes on when you turn the ignition to the ON (II) position and goes off after the engine starts. If it comes on at any other time, there is a problem with the power steering system. You will also see a ''CHECK POWER STEERING SYSTEM'' message on the multi-information display (see page 78 ).
