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.

DTC No.

    		Always
    		4 to 14 Ω
    C3-5 (OUCS) - C3-7 (TQG2)
    		Always
    		90 to 170 Ω
    C3-6 (OUSN) - C3-7 (TQG2)
    		Always
    		300 to 430 Ω

    NOTICE:
    1. If replacing the power steering link assembly, clear the rotation angle sensor calibration value, initialize the rotation angle sensor, and calibrate the torque sensor zero point (Click here).
    2. 3UZ-FE:
      If replacing the power steering link assembly, perform VGRS actuator angle initialization and VGRS actuator angle neutral calibration after wheel alignment adjustment (Click here for INITIALIZATION, Click here for CALIBRATION).
