Torque Sensor Circuit

DIAGNOSIS CODE SET CONDITIONS

• The sum of the torque sensor main output volt-

age and sub output voltage does not meet a pre-
determined value stored in the microcomputer, 
and the microcomputer determines that a prob-
lem has occurred in the mutual monitoring for the 
sensor main/sub systems.
Criteria for judging malfunction

• The sum of the torque sensor main output 

voltage and sub output voltage is more than 
5.3 V or less than 4.7 V.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Defective harness wire(s) or connector(s)

• Defective torque sensor of the steering gear and 

linkage assembly

• Malfunction of the electric power steering-ECU

(3) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) 

position.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(5) Check whether diagnosis code C1511 or C1512 

is set as past trouble.

(6) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) 

position.

Q: Is diagnosis code C1511 or C1512 set as stored 

trouble?
YES : 

Go to Step 3.

NO : 

The malfunction is intermittent. Refer to

Connector: B-37-1

Harness side

Q: Is any wire between electric power steering-ECU 

connector B-37-1 (terminals 13, 16 and 18) and 
torque sensor damaged?
YES : 

Repair it.

NO : 

Go to Step 4.

STEP 4. Check the earth circuit to the electric 
power steering-ECU for open circuit.
