Electronic Power Steering System: Calibration
- TORQUE SENSOR ZERO POINT CALIBRATION (USING TECHSTREAM) NOTE: Perform the torque sensor zero point calibration when any of the following conditions occur.
- The steering column assembly (containing the torque sensor) has been replaced.
- The power steering ECU has been replaced.
- The steering wheel has been replaced.
- The steering gear assembly has been replaced.
- There is a difference in steering effort between turning right and left.
- Center the steering wheel and align the front wheels straight ahead.
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the tester on.
- Enter the following menus: Chassis / EMPS / Utility / Torque Sensor Adjustment.
- Initialize the torque sensor zero point calibration signal and perform the zero point calibration by following the prompts on the tester screen.NOTE: Do not touch the steering wheel during the calibration.
- When DTC C1515/15 is output, (see DTC C1515/15 TORQUE SENSOR ZERO POINT ADJUSTMENT IS NOT INITIALIZED ).
- When DTC C1516/16 is output, (see DTC C1516/16 TORQUE SENSOR ZERO POINT ADJUSTMENT INCOMPLETE ).
- When DTC C1534/34 is output, (see DTC C1531/31 EPS ECU CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION; DTC C1532/32 EPS ECU CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION; DTC C1533/33 EPS ECU CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION; DTC C1534/34 EPS ECU CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION; DTC C1535/35 STEERING WHEEL LOCATION DATA ERROR ).
NOTE: Do not touch the steering wheel during the calibration.
- TORQUE SENSOR ZERO POINT CALIBRATION (USING SST CHECK WIRE)
- Center the steering wheel and align the front wheels straight ahead.
- Initialize the torque sensor zero point calibration signal.
HINT:
If the power steering ECU is replaced, initialization is not necessary.
- Stop the vehicle and turn the ignition switch to OFF.
- Using SST, connect terminals TS and CG of the DLC3.
SST 09843-18040
- Using SST, connect terminals TC and CG of the DLC3.
SST 09843-18040
- Turn the ignition switch to ON.
- Disconnect and reconnect terminal TC of the DLC3 20 times or more within 20 seconds.
- Check that DTC C1515/15 is output.
- Perform the torque sensor zero point calibration.NOTE: Do not touch the steering wheel during the calibration.
HINT:
Check whether any DTCs except C1515/15 are output.
- Stop the vehicle and turn the ignition switch to OFF.
- Using SST, connect terminals TS and CG of the DLC3 and turn the ignition switch to ON.
SST 09843-18040
- Wait for 7 seconds after the P/S warning light comes on.
- Confirm that the P/S warning light blinks at intervals of 0.125 seconds (4Hz blink).
- Disconnect the SST.
SST 09843-18040
- Confirm that no DTCs are output.
- When DTC C1515/15 is output, (see DTC C1515/15 TORQUE SENSOR ZERO POINT ADJUSTMENT IS NOT INITIALIZED ).
- When DTC C1516/16 is output, (see DTC C1516/16 TORQUE SENSOR ZERO POINT ADJUSTMENT INCOMPLETE ).
- When DTC C1534/34 is output, (see DTC C1531/31 EPS ECU CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION; DTC C1532/32 EPS ECU CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION; DTC C1533/33 EPS ECU CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION; DTC C1534/34 EPS ECU CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION; DTC C1535/35 STEERING WHEEL LOCATION DATA ERROR .
