INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
If the steering column assembly or power steering ECU assembly has been replaced, perform rotation angle sensor value initialization and torque sensor zero point calibration Programming and Relearning.

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK CONNECTOR CONNECTION CONDITION (TORQUE SENSOR - ECU)

(a) Check the installation condition of the torque sensor connector.

OK:

Torque sensor connector is securely connected to the power steering ECU assembly.

NG -- CONNECT CONNECTOR
OK -- Continue to next step.
