INSPECTION PROCEDURE

PROCEDURE

1. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (TORQUE SENSOR OUTPUT)

(a) Connect a Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(c) Turn the Techstream on.

(d) Enter the following menus: Chassis / EMPS / Data List.

(e) Select the items "Torque Sensor 1 Output" and "Torque Sensor 2 Output" in the Data List and read the value displayed on the Techstream.

EMPS:





(f) Check the difference in the values between "Torque Sensor 1 Output" and "Torque Sensor 2 Output".

OK:

The voltage difference is below 0.3 V.

NG -- INSPECT POWER STEERING ECU (TRQV VOLTAGE)

OK -- CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS How to Proceed With Troubleshooting

2. INSPECT POWER STEERING ECU (TRQV VOLTAGE)





(a) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(b) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard voltage:





NG -- REPLACE POWER STEERING ECU Removal
OK -- Continue to next step.

3. INSPECT STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY (TORQUE SENSOR)





(a) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(b) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard voltage:





NG -- REPLACE STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY Removal

OK -- REPLACE POWER STEERING ECU Removal
