Where is the Steering Wheel Torque Sensor Located?
1 Answers
The steering wheel torque sensor is located on the steering column below the steering wheel, specifically on the power assist motor. The motor typically has a small metal cover, and the component with four wires and a connector is the steering torque sensor. Removing the small metal cover will reveal it. Introduction to Torque Sensor: The torque sensor is one of the key components in an electronically controlled power steering system. It measures the magnitude and direction of the torque applied by the driver to the steering wheel and converts it into an electrical signal. The power steering ECU receives this signal along with the vehicle speed signal to determine the direction and magnitude of the assistive power.
