DTC No. Detection Item DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area Warning Indicate Return-to-normal Condition Note
C1516 Torque Sensor Zero Point Adjustment Incomplete Torque sensor zero point calibration is incomplete due to the steering wheel being touched during calibration. Torque sensor zero point calibration EPS warning light: Comes on After DTCs are cleared There is no malfunction if this DTC is not output again after clearing the DTC and torque sensor calibration value, and performing zero point calibration.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note


  • If the rack and pinion power steering gear assembly has been replaced, perform assist map writing and torque sensor zero point calibration.
