POWER STEERING SYSTEM CALIBRATION

  1. TORQUE SENSOR ZERO POINT CALIBRATION (USING GTS)

    Note:

    Perform torque sensor zero point calibration if any of the following conditions occur:

    • The power steering ECU assembly has been replaced.

    • The steering column assembly has been replaced.

    • There is a difference in steering effort between turning left and right.

    1. Perform inspection before calibration.

      1. Turn the ignition switch off.

      2. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

      3. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

      4. Turn the GTS on.

      5. Calibrate the power steering ECU assembly. Enter the following menus: Chassis / EMPS / Data List.

      6. Check the values by referring to the table below.

        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.

    2. Perform torque sensor zero point calibration.

      Note:

      If DTC C1516 (Torque Sensor Zero Point Adjustment Incomplete) is stored, the torque sensor zero point cannot be calibrated. Clear the DTCs before starting calibration.

      1. Set the steering wheel to the center point and align the front wheels straight ahead.

      2. Turn the ignition switch off.

      3. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

      4. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

      5. Turn the GTS on.

      6. Enter the following menus: Chassis / EMPS / Utility / Torque Sensor Adjustment.

        Note:

        • Do not turn the steering wheel sharply.

        • Do not touch the steering wheel during torque sensor zero point calibration (for 3 seconds).

      7. Check for DTCs.

  2. 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 steering column assembly has been replaced.

    • There is a difference in steering effort between turning left and right.

    1. Check for DTCs.

      1. Check for DTCs.

        Note:

        • If DTC 16 (Torque Sensor Zero Point Adjustment Incomplete) is stored, the torque sensor zero point cannot be calibrated. Clear the DTCs before starting calibration.

        • If DTCs other than 16 is output, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code Chart.

    2. Perform pre-calibration check.

      1. Turn the ignition switch off.

      2. Disconnect the E5 power steering ECU assembly connector.

      3. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

        8 to 16 V
        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.

      5. Turn the ignition switch off.

      6. Reconnect the E5 power steering ECU assembly connector.

    3. Clear sensor calibration value.

      1. Set the steering wheel to the center point and align the front wheels straight ahead.

        EPS Warning Light

        Check that the EPS warning light blinks and then remains illuminated.

        Tip:

        The EPS warning light illumination indicates that DTC 15 has been stored.

      6. Turn the ignition switch off.

        Note:

        After clearing the sensor calibration value, zero point calibration cannot be performed if the ignition switch is ON.

    4. Perform torque sensor zero point calibration.

      Note:

      As torque sensor zero point calibration cannot be performed if DTC 15 has not been stored, be sure to perform sensor calibration value erasure before performing torque sensor zero point calibration.

      1. Set the steering wheel to the center point and align the front wheels straight ahead.

      2. Turn the ignition switch off.
