Battery Voltage — Circuit Voltage Below Threshold
Ford · steering
Data confidence96%
The Ford Explorer PSCM detected battery voltage with failure type 16, circuit voltage below threshold. This interpretation is specific to the documented EPAS controller and model years.
Recommended checks
Perform a full module scan
Verify battery voltage and PSCM power supplies
Inspect EPAS wiring and connectors
Review PSCM snapshot and extended data
Follow the Ford EPAS diagnostic procedure

Frequently asked questions about U3003
What does U3003 mean?
Diagnostic Trouble Code (3 variants). The Ford Explorer PSCM detected battery voltage with failure type 16, circuit voltage below threshold. This interpretation is specific to the documented EPAS controller and model years.
Is U3003 generic or manufacturer-specific?
U3003 exists both as a generic OBD-II code (same meaning on every make) and with 1 manufacturer-specific interpretation(s): Ford. Always read it in the context of your vehicle.
Can TuningBot remove U3003 at file level?
Not guaranteed. Powertrain (P) codes can be reliably disabled in the ECU calibration, but body, chassis and network codes depend on the specific control unit and how the fault is implemented - some can be handled, some cannot. Ask for a quote and our engineers will check your file and tell you, free of charge, whether U3003 is removable in your case.
