DTC 11
DTC 11, 13: Torque Sensor1. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
2. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
3. Start the engine.
4. Check for DTCs with the HDS.
Is DTC 11 or 13 indicated?
YES - Go to step 5.
NO - Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the EPS control unit.
5. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
6. Disconnect EPS control unit connector D (3P).
7. Check for continuity between EPS control unit connector D (3P) terminal No. 1 and body ground.
Is there continuity?
YES - Go to step 8.
NO - Go to step 11.
8. Disconnect the torque sensor 3P connector.
9. Check for continuity between the appropriate EPS control unit connector D (3P) terminal and body ground (see table).
Is there continuity?
YES - Repair short to body ground in the appropriate wire between the torque sensor and the EPS control unit.
NO - Go to step 10.
10. On the sensor side, check for continuity between the torque sensor 3P connector terminal No. 2 and body ground.
Is there continuity?
YES - Replace the torque sensor.
NO - The system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the torque sensor and the EPS control unit. If necessary, substitute a known-good EPS control unit and recheck.
11. Disconnect the torque sensor 3P connector.
12. Check for continuity between the appropriate EPS control unit connector D (3P) terminal and torque sensor 3P connector terminal (see table).
Is there continuity?
YES - Go to step 13.
NO - Repair open in the appropriate wire between the torque sensor and the EPS control unit.
13. On the sensor side, measure resistance between torque sensor 3P connector terminals No. 1 and No. 2, No. 2 and No. 3 individually.
Is the resistance between 12 - 14 ohms (at 68° F (20° C))?
YES - The system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the torque sensor and the EPS control unit. If necessary, substitute a known-good EPS control unit and recheck.
NO - Replace the torque sensor.
