Memorizing the Torque Sensor Neutral Position

Memorizing the Torque Sensor Neutral Position

The torque sensor neutral position must be memorized whenever the steering gearbox, the EPS motor, or the EPS control unit is replaced. Note that the torque sensor neutral position is not affected when erasing the DTC.

NOTE: The torque sensor is sensitive to temperature. This procedure should be performed within the range of 68°F ± 18°F (20°C ± 10°C).

1. With the ignition switch at LOCK (0), connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC) (A) located under the driver's side of the dashboard.





2. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
3. Make sure the HDS communicates with the vehicle and the EPS control unit. If it doesn't, troubleshoot the DLC circuit.
4. From the EPS MENU, select MISCELLANEOUS TEST then TORQUE SENSOR LEARN and follow the screen prompts on the HDS.

NOTE: See the HDS Help menu for specific instructions.

5. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
