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

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

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.

PROCEDURE


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


    1. A01IQ9FE01
      Text in Illustration
      *1

      Component with harness connected

      (Power Steering ECU)

      Check the connection condition of the z18 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 ASSEMBLY


    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
      z18-3 (TRQV) - z18-1 (TRQG) Ignition switch ON 8.5 to 11 V
      z18-5 (TRQF) - z18-1 (TRQG) Ignition switch ON 3.28 to 3.32 V

    NG

    3. A01IQ9FE12
      Text in Illustration
      *1

      Component with harness connected

      (Power Steering ECU)

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

      Standard Voltage
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      z18-7 (TRQ1) - z18-1 (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 4.04 V
      Engine running, steering wheel turned to left with vehicle stopped 0.95 to 2.5 V
      z18-2 (TRQ2) - z18-1 (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 0.95 to 2.5 V
      Engine running, steering wheel turned to left with vehicle stopped 2.5 to 4.04 V

    4. Add the voltage measured at terminal TRQ1 minus 2.5 V to the voltage measured at terminal TRQ2 minus 2.5 V.

      OK
      Below 0.25 V (Absolute value)
