C0545

C0545 - STEERING WHEEL TORQUE INPUT SENSOR MALFUNCTION





The EPS control module uses the two torque sensors to monitor the amount of force that is applied to the steering column by the driver of the vehicle.

DTC PARAMETERS
DTC C0545 will be current:
^ Torque sensors read over 17.2 Nm of torque during a right turn.
^ Torque sensors read less than -17.2 Nm of torque during a left turn.
^ The difference between the two torque sensors is greater than 2.94 Nm.
When DTC C0545 is current:
^ Service Wrench telltale will be On.
^ No steering assist will be provided.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
Inspect the power and ground circuits of the EPS system. If no faults are found with the power and ground circuits, replace the EPS assembly. The Scan tool can be used to view the torque sensor values.
