Power Steering System: Calibration: Calibration

  1. ROTATION ANGLE SENSOR VALUE INITIALIZATION AND TORQUE SENSOR ZERO POINT CALIBRATION 
    NOTE:

    Clear the rotation angle sensor calibration value, initialize the rotation angle sensor value, and calibrate the torque sensor zero point if any of the following has occurred:

    • The power steering ECU assembly has been replaced.
    • The power steering gear assembly has been replaced.
    • Steering effort differs between left and right.
    1. Inspection before calibration
      1. Connect the Techstream (with CAN VIM) to the DLC3.
      2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
      3. Turn the Techstream on.
      4. Check the IG power supply voltage on the Techstream. Enter the following menus: Chassis / EMPS / Data List.
        Tester Display Measurement Item/Range (Display) Inspection Condition Reference Value
        IG Power Supply ECU power source voltage/
        Min.: 0 V, Max.: 20.1531 V        		 Engine switch on (IG) 10 to 14 V

        Voltage

        10 to 14 V

        NOTE:

        If the IG power supply voltage is 10 V or less, calibration cannot be performed. In this case, charge or replace the battery, and then perform calibration.

    2. Rotation angle sensor calibration value clear, rotation angle sensor value initialization, and 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 DTC before starting calibration.
      • If DTC C1526 (Rotation Angle Sensor Initialization Incomplete) is stored, the rotation angle sensor value cannot be initialized. Clear the DTC before starting initialization.
      1. Connect the Techstream (with CAN VIM) to the DLC3.
      2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
      3. Turn the Techstream on.
      4. Follow the procedures on the Techstream to clear the rotation angle sensor calibration value, initialize the rotation angle sensor value, and calibrate the torque sensor zero point.
        NOTE:
        • When initializing the rotation angle sensor value, observe the following to stabilize sensor voltage:

          After turning the engine switch on (IG), wait for at least 2.5 seconds before turning the steering wheel. Do not turn the steering wheel quickly.

        • The steering wheel will vibrate during torque sensor zero point calibration. Do not touch the steering wheel while it is vibrating or for 2 seconds after it stops.
