TORQUE SENSOR ZERO POINT CALIBRATION (USING THE GTS)
Note
Perform torque sensor zero point calibration if any of the following conditions occur:
The power steering ECU assembly has been replaced.
The electric power steering column sub-assembly has been replaced.
There is a difference in steering effort between turning left and right.
Perform inspection before calibration.
Turn the engine switch off.
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the engine switch on (IG).
Turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Chassis / EMPS / Data List.
Check the values by referring to the table below.
Tester Display | Measurement Item | Range | Normal Condition | Diagnostic Note |
---|---|---|---|---|
IG Power Supply | IG power source voltage | Min.: 0.0000 V Max.: 20.1531 V |
w/o Stop and Start System: Engine switch on (IG): 8 to 16 V w/ Stop and Start System: Engine switch on (IG): 10.5 to 16 V |

IG Power Supply |
Note
If the IG power supply voltage is 8 V or less, calibration cannot be performed. In this case, charge or replace the battery, and then perform calibration.
Perform torque sensor zero point calibration.
Set the steering wheel to the center point and align the front wheels straight ahead.
Turn the engine switch off.
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the engine switch on (IG).
Turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Chassis / EMPS / Utility / Torque Sensor Adjustment.

Torque Sensor Adjustment |
Note
Do not turn the steering wheel sharply.
Do not touch the steering wheel during torque sensor zero point calibration.
Check for DTCs.
Note
If DTC C1515/15, C1516/16 or C1534/25 is output, perform troubleshooting for the corresponding DTC.
TORQUE SENSOR ZERO POINT CALIBRATION (USING SST CHECK WIRE)
Note
Perform torque sensor zero point calibration if any of the following conditions occur:
The power steering ECU assembly has been replaced.
The electric power steering column sub-assembly has been replaced.
There is a difference in steering effort between turning left and right.
Perform inspection before calibration.
Turn the engine switch off.
Disconnect the n2 power steering ECU assembly connector.
Turn the engine switch on (IG).
*a | Front view of wire harness connector (to Power Steering ECU Assembly) |
Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
Note
If the IG power supply voltage is 8 V or less, calibration cannot be performed. In this case, charge or replace the battery, and then perform calibration.
Turn the engine switch off.
Reconnect the n2 power steering ECU assembly connector.
Clear sensor calibration value.
Turn the engine switch off.
*1 | DLC3 |
Using SST, connect terminals 12 (TS) and 4 (CG) of the DLC3.
Note
Connect the terminals correctly to avoid a malfunction.
Turn the engine switch on (IG) and then connect and disconnect terminals 13 (TC) and 4 (CG) at least 20 times in 20 seconds.
Check that the power steering warning light (red) blinks and then remains illuminated.
Tech Tips
The power steering warning light (red) illumination indicates that DTC C1515/15 has been stored.
Turn the engine switch off.
Note
After erasing the sensor calibration value, zero point calibration cannot be performed if the engine switch is on (IG).
Perform torque sensor zero point calibration.
Set the steering wheel to the center point and align the front tires straight ahead.
Turn the engine switch off.
*1 | DLC3 |
Using SST, connect terminals 12 (TS) and 4 (CG) of the DLC3.
Note
Connect the terminals correctly to avoid a malfunction.
Turn the engine switch on (IG).
Note
Do not touch the steering wheel for 3 seconds before and after entering test mode.
The power steering warning light (red) illuminates, but this is not a malfunction.
Tech Tips
Torque sensor zero point calibration is performed as a result of entering test mode.
When entering test mode, the power steering warning light (red) illuminates for 2 seconds, and then the power steering warning light (yellow) illuminates for 2 seconds. Afterward, the power steering warning light (red) illuminates again. When torque sensor zero point calibration ends normally, the power steering warning light (red) blinks at 0.125 second (4 Hz) intervals.
Check the power steering warning light (red) for blinking which indicates that torque sensor zero point calibration has ended normally, and then disconnect the 12 (TS) - 4 (CG) terminals of the DLC3 (test mode completed).
Check for DTCs.
Note
If DTC C1515/15, C1516/16 or C1534/25 is output, perform troubleshooting for the corresponding DTC.
ASSIST MAP WRITING (USING THE GTS)
Note
Perform assist map writing if the following condition occurs:
The power steering ECU assembly has been replaced.
Turn the engine switch off.
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the engine switch on (IG).
Turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Chassis / EMPS / Utility / Signal Check.

Signal Check |
Tech Tips
Follow the instructions on the GTS to perform Signal Check.
With DTC C1581/26 output, performing Signal Check will cause the power steering ECU assembly to enter Test Mode and the assist map will be written automatically.
Wait for 5 seconds or more.
Check for DTCs.
Tech Tips
After writing the assist map, if DTC C1581/26 is output, perform the troubleshooting procedure for DTC C1581/26.
ASSIST MAP WRITING (USING SST CHECK WIRE)
Note
Perform assist map writing if the following condition occurs:
The power steering ECU assembly has been replaced.
*1 | DLC3 |
Turn the engine switch off.
Using SST, connect terminals 12 (TS) and 4 (CG) of the DLC3.
Note
Connect the terminals correctly to avoid a malfunction.
Turn the engine switch on (IG).
Wait for 5 seconds or more.
Check for DTCs.
Tech Tips
After writing the assist map, if DTC C1581/26 is output, perform the troubleshooting procedure for DTC C1581/26.
