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

DTC Code DTC Name
C1511 Torque Sensor Circuit Malfunction
C1512 Torque Sensor Circuit Malfunction
C1513 Torque Sensor Circuit Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

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

DTC Code Detection Condition Trouble Area
C1511 Torque sensor (TRQ1) signal error or stop

  • Harness or connector

  • Torque sensor (built into power steering link assembly)

  • Power steering ECU
C1512 Torque sensor (TRQ2) signal error or stop

  • Harness or connector

  • Torque sensor (built into power steering link assembly)

  • Power steering ECU
C1513 Deviation between torque sensors

  • Harness or connector

  • Torque sensor (built into power steering link assembly)

  • Power steering ECU

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK CONNECTORS


    1. Check the connection of the power steering ECU and power steering link assembly connectors.

    2. Visually inspect the terminals of the power steering ECU and power steering link assembly connectors.

      Result
      Result Proceed to
      Normal A
      Connectors not properly connected B
      Power steering ECU connector terminals abnormal C
      Power steering link assembly connector terminals abnormal D

      Note


      • If replacing the power steering link assembly, clear the rotation angle sensor calibration value, initialize the rotation angle sensor value, and calibrate the torque sensor zero point Click here.

      • If replacing the power steering ECU, initialize the rotation angle sensor value and calibrate the torque sensor zero point Click here.
