Using Electric Power Assist Steering (EPAS)

The Battery Discharge/Steering Malfunction Light will indicate if there is a malfunction in power assist steering.

The light may go off and on during operation as an indicator that EPAS has been reduced to protect the system. The fault indication may be cleared automatically when the fault condition is removed.

The level of assist decreases as the speed increases, with full assist with zero speed.

Normal steering operation has the EPAS indicator light off.

The indicator light flashes a single flash to indicate low battery voltage. Check battery charge and condition.

Three blinks indicates the EPAS has reached thermal protection limits. Avoid heavy steering (agressive steering or turning against stops) and allow time for the system to cool.

If the indicator light remains on constantly or flashes continually during operation, contact your John Deere dealer.

Steering effort is adversely affected by low tire air pressure. Always keep tires at recommended air pressure.
