POWER STEERING SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:C1511, C1512, C1513, C1514, C1517

DTC Code DTC Name
C1511 Torque Sensor Circuit Malfunction
C1512 Torque Sensor Circuit Malfunction
C1513 Torque Sensor Circuit Malfunction
C1514 Torque Sensor Power Supply Abnormal
C1517 Torque Hold Abnormal

DESCRIPTION

The torque sensor converts the rotation torque input to the steering wheel into an electrical signal and sends it to the power steering ECU. Based on this signal, the ECU detects steering effort.

DTC Code DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
C1511 A torque sensor (TRQ1) signal error or stop.

  • Steering column assembly (torque sensor)

  • Power steering ECU assembly
C1512 A torque sensor (TRQ2) signal error or stop.
C1513 The deviation between torque sensor TRQ1 and TRQ2 exceeds a specified value.
C1514 A torque sensor power supply voltage error.
C1517 Temporary control due to a malfunction related to the torque sensor continues for long time.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK CONNECTOR CONNECTION CONDITION (TORQUE SENSOR - POWER STEERING ECU)


    1. A0058S3E02
      Text in Illustration
      *1

      Component with harness connected

      (Power Steering ECU)

      Check the connection condition of the z12 torque sensor connector.

      OK
      Torque sensor connector is securely connected to the power steering ECU.

    NG

    CONNECT CONNECTOR SECURELY

    OK

  2. CHECK POWER STEERING ECU (TRQV VOLTAGE)


    1. Turn the ignition switch off.

    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

      Component with harness connected

      (Power Steering ECU)

      Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Voltage
      Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition
      z12-6 (TRQV) - z12-8 (TRQG) Ignition switch ON 4.5 to 5.5 V

      Tech Tips

      When the value is within the specified range, record the value.

      Text in Illustration
      *1

      Component with harness connected

      (Power Steering ECU)

      Start the engine.

    2. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Voltage
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      z12-5 (TRQ1) - z12-8 (TRQG) Engine running, steering wheel not turned (without load) 2.3 to 2.7 V
      Engine running, steering wheel turned to right with vehicle stopped 2.5 to 3.8 V
      Engine running, steering wheel turned to left with vehicle stopped 1.2 to 2.5 V
      z12-7 (TRQ2) - z12-8 (TRQG) Engine running, steering wheel not turned (without load) 2.3 to 2.7 V
      Engine running, steering wheel turned to right with vehicle stopped 1.2 to 2.5 V
      Engine running, steering wheel turned to left with vehicle stopped 2.5 to 3.8 V

    3. Calculate the difference between the value recorded when measuring the voltage at terminal TRQV in the previous step, and the sum of the output of torque sensor 1 and torque sensor 2.

      OK
      0.3 V or less (Absolute value)
