The power steering ECU assembly supplies a voltage of 5 V to the torque sensor (electric power steering column sub-assembly) and monitors the voltage value of the Hall IC inside the torque sensor (electric power steering column sub-assembly) which changes in response to changes in the magnetic flux density (steering torque) detected by the Hall IC, and calculates the assist torque.
While DTC C151B17 is detected, power assist is stopped or assist amount is limited due to fail-safe operation.
