Code No.C1514
Torque sensor power supply too low
|
caution |
- If there is
any problem in the CAN bus lines, an incorrect diagnosis code may be set. Prior to this diagnosis,
diagnose the CAN bus lines (Refer to GROUP 54C, CAN Bus Diagnostics Table).
- Whenever ECU is replaced, ensure that the CAN bus lines are normal.
|
|
|
Power is supplied to the torque sensor from the EPS-ECU.
|
|
To output the voltage based on the input torque from the torque sensor to the EPS-ECU,
the voltage is supplied to the torque sensor.
|
|
Check Conditions
Torque sensor power supply ON
|
|
Judgement Criterion
The torque sensor power supply monitor voltage does not meet a predetermined voltage
stored in the microcomputer, and the microcomputer determines that there is a problem in the torque
sensor power supply voltage.
|
|
Fail Safe, Back Up Function
The EPS-ECU stops the motor control and illuminates the electric power steering
warning display, then sets the diagnosis code No. C1514.
|
|
- Malfunction of CAN bus line
- Defective torque sensor of the steering column shaft assembly
- Defective harness wire(s) or connector(s)
- Short or open circuit between the EPS-ECU and the torque sensor or loose
connector contact
- Open circuit between the body earth and the EPS-ECU or loose connector contact
- Malfunction of the EPS-ECU

|
STEP 1. M.U.T.-III CAN bus diagnostics
|
|
Use M.U.T.-III to diagnose the CAN bus lines.
|
|
Q.
Is the check result normal?
|
|
Go to Step 3.
|
|
|
|
Repair the CAN bus lines (Refer to GROUP 54C - CAN Bus Diagnostics Table ).
On completion, go to Step 2.
|
|
|
|
STEP 2. Diagnosis code recheck after resetting CAN bus lines
|
|
(1)Erase the diagnosis code.
|
|
(2)Turn the ignition switch from the "LOCK" (OFF) position to the "ON" position.
|
|
(3)Check if the diagnosis code is set.
|
|
Q.
Is the diagnosis code C1514 set?
|
|
Go to Step 3.
|
|
|
|
This diagnosis is complete.
|
|
|
|
STEP 3. Voltage measurement at EPS-ECU connector (TSV, TSE terminal)
|
|
(1)The steering is in the neutral position.
|
|
(2) Measure the EPS-ECU voltage without disconnecting the connector (by backprobing).
|
|
(3)Turn the ignition switch from the "LOCK" (OFF) position to the "ON" position.
|
|
(4)Measure the voltage between the EPS-ECU connector (TSV terminal) and the EPS-ECU
connector (TSE terminal). OK: 5 ± 0.2 V
|
|
Q.
Is the check result normal?
|
|
Go to Step 5.
|
|
|
|
Go to Step 4.
|
|
|
|
STEP 4. Check of short to earth, and open circuit in TSV and TSE line
between EPS-ECU connector and torque sensor
|
|
Q.
Is the check result normal?
|
|
Go to Step 5.
|
|
|
|
Go to Step 7.
|
|
|
|
STEP 5. M.U.T.-III data list
|
|
(1)The steering is in the neutral position.
|
|
(2)Check the following data list .
- Item No. 03: Torque sensor(power supply)
|
|
Q.
Is the check result normal?
|
|
Go to Step 7.
|
|
|
|
Go to Step 6.
|
|
|
|
STEP 6. Check whether the diagnosis code is reset.
|
|
(1)Erase the diagnosis code.
|
|
(2)Turn the ignition switch from the "LOCK" (OFF) position to the "ON" position.
|
|
(3)Check if the diagnosis code is set.
|
|
Q.
Is the diagnosis code C1514 set?
|
|
Replace the EPS-ECU (Refer to ).Then go to
Step 7.
|
|
|
|
Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Cope with Intermittent
Malfunctions ).
|
|
|
|
STEP 7. Check whether the diagnosis code is reset.
|
|
(1)Erase the diagnosis code.
|
|
(2)Turn the ignition switch from the "LOCK" (OFF) position to the "ON" position.
|
|
(3)Check if the diagnosis code is set.
|
|
Q.
Is the diagnosis code C1514 set?
|
|
Replace the steering column shaft assembly (Refer to ).
Then go to Step 8.
|
|
|
|
Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Cope with Intermittent
Malfunctions ).
|
|
|
|
STEP 8. Check whether the diagnosis code is reset.
|
|
(1)Erase the diagnosis code.
|
|
(2)Turn the ignition switch from the "LOCK" (OFF) position to the "ON" position.
|
|
(3)Check if the diagnosis code is set.
|
|
Q.
Is the diagnosis code C1514 set?
|
|
Return to Step 1.
|
|
|
|
This diagnosis is complete.
