DTC Diagnosis Procedure

  1. CHECK TORQUE SENSOR POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT 
    1. SYMBOL CONSULT
      1. Ignition switch ON.
      2. Select "TORQUE SEN VOLTAGE" in "Data Monitor" mode of "DAST 1".
      3. Check the value.
        Monitor item Standard value(Approx.)
        TORQUE SEN VOLTAGE 4.5 - 5.5 V

    Is the inspection result normal?

    YES>>

    GO TO 2.

    NO>>

    Perform the trouble diagnosis for battery power supply circuit. Refer to appropriate Wiring Diagram.

  2. CHECK TORQUE SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT 
      1. Ignition switch OFF.
      2. Disconnect steering angle main control module connector.
      3. Check the continuity between steering angle main control module harness connector and ground.
        Steering angle main control module - Continuity
        Connector Terminal
        E149 32 Ground Yes

    Is the inspection result normal?

    YES>>

    GO TO 3.

    NO>>
