1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), or press the engine start/stop button to select the ON mode.

2. Clear the DTC with the HDS

3. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), or press the engine start/stop button to select the OFF mode.

4. Start the engine.

5. Check for DTCs with the HDS.

Is DTC 51-02, 51-03, 51-06, or 51-07 indicated?

YES -

Go to step 6.

NO -

Troubleshoot the indicated DTC. If there are no DTCs, the system is OK at this time.

6. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), or press the engine start/stop button to select the OFF mode.

7. Disconnect EPS control unit connector D (28P).

8. Measure the resistance between EPS control unit connector D (28P) terminals No. 9 and No. 10.





Is the resistance between 12-15 Ohms?

YES -

Go to step 9.

NO -

Go to step 13.

9. Measure the resistance between EPS control unit connector D (28P) terminals No. 8 and No. 9.





Is the resistance between 12-15 Ohms?

YES -

Go to step 10.

NO -

Go to step 15.

10. Check for continuity between EPS control unit connector D (28P) terminal No. 9 and body ground.





Is there continuity?

YES -

Go to step 11.

NO -

Check for loose terminals in the EPS control unit connectors, and repair if necessary. If no poor connections are found, replace the EPS control unit Service and Repair.

11. Disconnect the torque sensor 3P connector from the steering gearbox.

12. Check for continuity between EPS control unit connector D (28P) terminal No. 9 and body ground.





Is there continuity?

YES -

Repair a short to body ground in the wire between the torque sensor and the EPS control unit.

NO -

Replace the steering gearbox Steering Gearbox Removal/Installation.

13. Disconnect the torque sensor 3P connector from the steering gearbox.

14. On the sensor side, measure the resistance between torque sensor 3P connector terminals No. 1 and No. 2.





Is the resistance between 12-15 Ohms?

YES -

Repair an open or a short between the PNK and the BLU wires in the torque sensor circuit between the torque sensor and the EPS control unit.

NO -

Replace the steering gearbox Steering Gearbox Removal/Installation.

15. Disconnect the torque sensor 3P connector from the steering gearbox.

16. On the sensor side, measure the resistance between torque sensor 3P connector terminals No. 2 and No. 3.





Is the resistance between 12-15 Ohms?

YES -

Repair an open or a short between the BLU and the PUR wires in the torque sensor circuit between the torque sensor and the EPS control unit.

NO -

Replace the steering gearbox Steering Gearbox Removal/Installation.
