Toyota Venza Service Manual / Power Assist Systems / Power Steering System / Motor Rotation Angle Sensor Malfunction (C1528)

DESCRIPTION

The motor rotation angle sensor detects the motor rotation angle and sends this information to the power steering ECU.

DTC No.	DTC Detection Condition	Trouble Area
C1528	Motor rotation angle sensor malfunction	Motor rotation angle sensor (built into steering column assembly) Power steering ECU

WIRING DIAGRAM

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

NOTICE:

If the power steering ECU and steering column assembly have been replaced, perform the rotation angle sensor initialization and torque sensor zero point calibration (See page ).

PROCEDURE

1.	CHECK CONNECTOR CONNECTION CONDITION

(a) Check the installation condition of the motor rotation angle sensor connector.

OK:

Motor rotation angle sensor connector is securely connected to the power steering ECU.

CONNECT CONNECTOR

2.	READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (MOTOR ROTATION ANGLE SENSOR)

(a) Turn the ignition switch off.

(b) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(d) Turn the Techstream on.

(e) Enter the following menus: Chassis / EMPS / Data List.

(f) Select the item "Motor Rotation Angle" in the Data List and read the value displayed on the Techstream.

OK:

During steering operation, motor rotation angle value changes from 0 to 360°.

REPLACE POWER STEERING ECU

3.	CHECK STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY

(a) Disconnect the connector from the motor rotation angle sensor.

(b) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
z9-6 (RZSN) - z9-3 (RZG)	Always	75.2 to 112.8 Ω
z9-1 (RZV) - z9-3 (RZG)	Always	27.6 to 41.4 Ω
z9-5 (RZCS) - z9-3 (RZG)	Always	73.2 to 110.8 Ω
