POWER STEERING SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:C1513

DTC Code DTC Name
C1513 Torque Sensor Deviation Excessive

DESCRIPTION

The power steering ECU assembly supplies a voltage of 5 V to the torque sensor (steering column sub-assembly) and monitors the voltage value of the Hall IC inside the torque sensor (steering column sub-assembly) which changes in response to changes in the magnetic flux density (steering torque) detected by the Hall IC, and calculates the assist torque.

The Hall IC is a duplex system, and the power steering ECU assembly monitors the total value of TRQ1 (Hall IC 1) voltage and TRQ2 (Hall IC 2) voltage to detect malfunctions in the torque sensor (steering column sub-assembly).

While DTC C1513 is detected, power assist is stopped due to fail-safe operation.

DTC No. Detection Item DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area Warning Indicate Return-to-normal Condition
C1512 Torque Sensor Deviation Excessive Deviation of torque sensor TRQ1 and TRQ2 exceeds specified values Torque sensor (Steering column sub-assembly) EPS warning light: Comes on Ignition switch ON again
