DESCRIPTION

WIRING DIAGRAM

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (POWER STEERING ECU ASSEMBLY - TORQUE SENSOR)

INSPECT POWER STEERING GEAR ASSEMBLY (TORQUE SENSOR)

REPLACE POWER STEERING ECU ASSEMBLY

INITIALIZE ROTATION ANGLE SENSOR AND CALIBRATE TORQUE SENSOR ZERO POINT

RECONFIRM DTC

DTC C1511 Torque Sensor Circuit Malfunction

DTC C1512 Torque Sensor Circuit Malfunction

DTC C1513 Torque Sensor Circuit Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

The torque sensor converts rotation torque input to the steering wheel into an electrical signal and sends it to the ECU. Based on this signal, the ECU detects steering effort.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

1.CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (POWER STEERING ECU ASSEMBLY - TORQUE SENSOR)
Dtc C1511  Torque Sensor Circuit Malfunction. POWER STEERING. Lexus IS250 IS220d GSE20 ALE20

Disconnect the C4 connector from the power steering ECU assembly.

Disconnect the C1 connector from the torque sensor.

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

  • Standard resistance:
  • Tester connection
    (Symbols)

Dtc C1511  Torque Sensor Circuit Malfunction. POWER STEERING. Lexus IS250 IS220d GSE20 ALE20

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

  • Standard resistance:
  • Tester connection
    (Symbols)
    ConditionSpecified condition
    C1-1 (INCS) - C1-7 (TQG2)Always90 to 170 Ω
    C1-2 (INSN) - C1-7 (TQG2)Always300 to 430 Ω
    C1-4 (TRQV) - C1-8 (TQG1)Always4 to 14 Ω
    C1-5 (OUCS) - C1-7 (TQG2)Always90 to 170 Ω
    C1-6 (OUSN) - C1-7 (TQG2)Always300 to 430 Ω
  • NOTICE:
  • If replacing the power steering gear assembly, clear the rotation angle sensor calibration value, initialize the rotation angle sensor value, and calibrate the torque sensor zero point .
