C1515

Torque Sensor Zero Point Adjustment Undone

This DTC is stored when torque sensor zero point calibration has not been performed.

-

On

Zero point calibration occurs

There is no malfunction if this DTC is not output again after performing zero point calibration.

C1516

Torque Sensor Zero Point Adjustment Incomplete

Torque sensor zero point calibration is incomplete due to the steering wheel being touched during calibration.

-

On

Clear DTC

There is no malfunction if this DTC is not output again after clearing the DTCs and torque sensor calibration value, and performing zero point calibration.
