INSPECTION PROCEDURE

PROCEDURE

1. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM
(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.
OK -- CHECK INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS
NG -- Continue to next step.
2. INSPECT POWER STEERING ECU (OUTPUT)




(a) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
(b) Measure the voltage.
Standard voltage:






NG -- REPLACE POWER STEERING ECU
OK -- Continue to next step.
3. INSPECT STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY (TORQUE SENSOR)




(a) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
(b) Measure the voltage.
Standard voltage:






NG -- REPLACE STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY
OK -- REPLACE POWER STEERING ECU
