CALIBRATION
TORQUE SENSOR ZERO POINT CALIBRATION (USING THE Techstream)
NOTICE:
Perform torque sensor zero point calibration if any of the following conditions occur:
- The power steering ECU assembly has been replaced.
- The electric power steering column sub-assembly has been replaced.
- There is a difference in steering effort between turning left and right.
(a) Perform inspection before calibration.
(1) Turn the power switch off.
(2) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(3) Turn the power switch on (IG).
(4) Turn the Techstream on.
(5) Enter the following menus: Chassis / EMPS / Data List.
(6) Check the values by referring to the table below.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| IG Power Supply | IG power source voltage | Min.: 0.0000 V Max.: 20.1531 V | Power switch on (IG): 8 to 16 V | - |
| Tester Display |
|---|
| IG Power Supply |
Standard voltage:
8 to 16 V
NOTICE:
If the IG power supply voltage is 8 V or less, calibration cannot be performed. In this case, charge or replace the auxiliary battery, and then perform calibration.
(b) Perform torque sensor zero point calibration.
(1) Set the steering wheel to the center point and align the front wheels straight ahead.
(2) Turn the power switch off.
(3) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(4) Turn the power switch on (IG).
(5) Turn the Techstream on.
