April 5, 2026: LEMON Manuals is launched! Read the announcement.

Inspection Procedure

  1. CLEAR DTC 
  2. INITIALIZE ROTATION ANGLE SENSOR AND CALIBRATE TORQUE SENSOR ZERO POINT 
    1. Initialize the rotation angle sensor and calibrate the torque sensor zero point (See CALIBRATION ).
  3. RECONFIRM DTC 
    1. Check for DTCs (See DTC CHECK/CLEAR )

    DTCs are still output after performing rotation angle sensor value initialization and steering zero point calibration 3 times*1. A
    DTCs are still output after performing rotation angle sensor value initialization and steering zero point calibration 1 or 2 times*2. B
    Normal system code is output C

    • *1: The power steering ECU assembly must be replaced if DTCs are still output even after initialize the rotation angle sensor and calibrate the torque sensor zero point.
    • *2: Perform the rotation angle sensor initialization and torque sensor zero point calibration again if DTCs are still output even after the initialization and calibration is performed 1 or 2 times.

    B: PERFORM ROTATION ANGLE SENSOR INITIALIZATION AND TORQUE SENSOR ZERO POINT CALIBRATION  (See CALIBRATION )

    C: END 

    A: Go to next Step 

  4. REPLACE POWER STEERING ECU ASSEMBLY 
    1. Replace the power steering ECU assembly (See POWER STEERING ECU ).
  5. CLEAR DTC 
  6. INITIALIZE ROTATION ANGLE SENSOR AND CALIBRATE TORQUE SENSOR ZERO POINT 
    1. Initialize the rotation angle sensor value and calibrate the torque sensor zero point (See CALIBRATION ).
  7. RECONFIRM DTC 
    1. Check for DTCs (See DTC CHECK/CLEAR ).

    • *1. The power steering gear assembly must be replaced if DTCs are still output even after initialize the rotation angle sensor and calibrate the torque sensor zero point.
    • *2: Perform the rotation angle sensor initialization and torque sensor zero point calibration again if DTCs are still output even after the initialization and calibration is performed 2 times.
    NOTE: If replacing the power steering gear assembly, clear the rotation angle sensor calibration value, initialize the rotation angle sensor value, and calibrate the torque sensor zero point (See CALIBRATION ).
