INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Note


  • If the electric power steering column sub-assembly has been replaced with a new one, perform torque sensor zero point calibration Click here.

  • If the power steering ECU assembly has been replaced with a new one, perform assist map writing and torque sensor zero point calibration Click here.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK CONNECTOR CONNECTION CONDITION


    1. Check the connection condition of the torque sensor connector.

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

    NG

    CONNECT CONNECTOR

    OK

  2. CHECK POWER STEERING ECU ASSEMBLY (TRQV VOLTAGE)

      *a

      Component with harness connected

      (Power Steering ECU Assembly)

      Turn the engine switch on (IG).

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

      Standard Voltage
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      z11-8 (TRQV) - z11-2 (TRQG) Engine switch on (IG) 4.5 to 5.5 V

    NG

  3. CHECK POWER STEERING ECU ASSEMBLY (TRQ1, TRQ2 VOLTAGE)


    1. A01G981E11
      Text in Illustration
      *a

      Component with harness connected

      (Power Steering ECU Assembly)

      Start the engine.

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

      Standard Voltage
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      z11-9 (TRQ1) - z11-2 (TRQG)

      Engine running

      Steering wheel not being turned (without load)

      		 2.3 to 2.7 V
      z11-1 (TRQ2) - z11-2 (TRQG)
      z11-9 (TRQ1) - z11-2 (TRQG)

      Engine running

      Steering wheel being turned to the right with vehicle stopped

      		 2.5 to 3.8 V
      z11-1 (TRQ2) - z11-2 (TRQG) 1.2 to 2.5 V
      z11-9 (TRQ1) - z11-2 (TRQG)

      Engine running

      Steering wheel being turned to the left with vehicle stopped

      		 1.2 to 2.5 V
      z11-1 (TRQ2) - z11-2 (TRQG) 2.5 to 3.8 V

    3. Under each condition, measure the voltage at terminals TRQ1 and TRQ2, and calculate the sum.

      Standard Voltage
      Inspection Item Condition Specified Condition
      Sum of voltage between z11-9 (TRQ1) and z11-2 (TRQG) and voltage between z11-1 (TRQ2) and z11-2 (TRQG)

      Engine running

      Steering wheel not being turned (without load)

      		 Between 4.75 V and 5.25 V

      Engine running

      Steering wheel being turned to the right with vehicle stopped

      Engine running

      Steering wheel being turned to the left with vehicle stopped

    NG
