C1422-14 Sub Torque Sensor Malfunction    

DTC (EPS)

  1. DTC check

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    -2. Clear the DTC with the HDS.

    -3. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode, then to the READY TO DRIVE mode.

    -4. Turn the steering wheel to left and right several times, and keep holding each direction for 10 seconds.

    -5. Check for DTCs with the HDS.

    Is DTC C1422-14 indicated?

    YES 

    Go to step 2.

    YES 

    If DTC C1423-14 is also indicated, go to DTC C1423-14  troubleshooting.

    NO 

    Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Refer to intermittent failures troubleshooting . If the freeze data/on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the freeze data/on-board snapshot.

  2. Torque sensor performance check

    -1. Turn the steering wheel to the right and left several times.

    -2. Check the parameter(s) below with the HDS.

    Signal Current conditions
    Values Unit
    TORQUE SENSOR SUB    

    Is there less than about 0.3 V or more than about 4.7 V?

    YES (Less than about 0.3 V)

    Go to step 3.

    YES (More than about 4.7 V)

    Go to step 7.

    NO 

    Check for loose terminals and poor connections at the EPS control unit connectors. Check for any authorized service information related to the DTCs or symptoms you are troubleshooting or substitute a known-good EPS motor/control unit , then recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good EPS motor/control unit, replace the original EPS motor/control unit .

  3. Torque sensor check

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    -2. Disconnect the following connector.

    Torque sensor 6P connector

    -3. Connect terminals A and B with a jumper wire.

    Terminal A Torque sensor 6P connector (female terminals) No. 5:
    Terminal B Torque sensor 6P connector (female terminals) No. 4:

    -4. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.

    -5. Check the parameter(s) below with the HDS.

    Signal Current conditions
    Values Unit
    TORQUE SENSOR SUB    

    Is there about 5 V?

    YES 

    Replace the steering gearbox .

    NO 

    Go to step 4.

  4. Open wire check (T/S_VDD line)

    -1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

    -2. Disconnect the following connector.

    EPS control unit connector C (4P)

    -3. Measure the resistance between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
      Torque sensor 6P connector: disconnected
      EPS control unit connector C (4P): disconnected
    Test point 1 Torque sensor 6P connector (female terminals) No. 5:
    Test point 2 EPS control unit connector C (4P) No. 1

    Is there 1.0 Ω or less?

    YES 

    The T/S_VDD wire is OK. Go to step 5.

    NO 

    Repair an open in the wire between the EPS control unit and the torque sensor.

  5. Open wire check (TSS line)

    -1. Measure the resistance between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
      Torque sensor 6P connector: disconnected
      EPS control unit connector C (4P): disconnected
    Test point 1 Torque sensor 6P connector (female terminals) No. 4:
    Test point 2 EPS control unit connector C (4P) No. 3
    GHH376852Courtesy of HONDA, U.S.A., INC.

    Is there 1.0 Ω or less?

    YES 

    The TSS wire is not open. Go to step 6.

    NO 

    Repair an open in the wire between the EPS control unit and the torque sensor.

  6. Shorted wire check (TSS line)

    -1. Measure the resistance between test points 1 and 2.

    Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode
      Torque sensor 6P connector: disconnected
      EPS control unit connector C (4P): disconnected
    Test point 1 EPS control unit connector C (4P) No. 3
    Test point 2 Body ground

    Is there 1 MΩ or more?

    YES 

    The TSS wire is OK. Check for loose terminals and poor connections at the EPS control unit connectors. Check for any authorized service information related to the DTCs or symptoms you are troubleshooting or substitute a known-good EPS motor/control unit , then recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good EPS motor/control unit, replace the original EPS motor/control unit .
