POWER STEERING SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:C1516/16, C1526/18

DTC Code DTC Name
C1516/16 Torque Sensor Zero Point Adjustment Incomplete
C1526/18 Rotation Angle Sensor Initialization Incomplete

DESCRIPTION

These DTCs do not indicate a malfunction.

The power steering ECU assembly stores C1515 when it determines that torque sensor zero point calibration has not been performed.

The power steering ECU assembly stores C1516 when it determines that torque sensor zero point calibration has not completed.

DTC No. Detection Item DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area Warning Indicate Return-to-normal Condition Note
C1516/16 Torque Sensor Zero Point Adjustment Incomplete Torque sensor zero point calibration is incomplete due to the steering wheel being touched during calibration. - On Clear DTC There is no malfunction if this DTC is not output again after clearing the DTCs and torque sensor calibration value, and performing zero point calibration.
C1526/18 Rotation Angle Sensor Initialization Incomplete Rotation angle sensor initialization is incomplete due to the steering wheel being touched during calibration. - On Clear DTC There is no malfunction if this DTC is not output again after clearing the DTC and then performing rotation angle sensor initialization.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note


  • If the steering column assembly has been replaced, perform rotation angle sensor value initialization and torque sensor zero point calibration.

      Tech Tips


      • *1: The steering column assembly must be replaced if DTC C1515 or C1525 is still output even after the rotation angle sensor value initialization and torque sensor zero point calibration is performed 3 times.

      • *2: Perform the rotation angle sensor value initialization and torque sensor zero point calibration again if DTC C1515 or C1525 is still output even after the rotation angle sensor value initialization and calibration is performed twice.

      Result
      Result Proceed to
      DTCs are still output after performing rotation angle sensor value initialization and steering zero point calibration 3 times*1 A
      DTCs are still output even after performing rotation angle sensor value initialization and steering zero point calibration twice*2 B
      Normal system code is output. C
