If the torque sensor connector is disconnected, the following scenarios can take place:

  • If one or two ignition cycles occur while the torque sensor harness is disconnected: DTCC2217-00 will be active in the EPS module. This code can be cleared. Proceed with applicable diagnostic procedures.
  • If three or more ignition cycles occur while the torque sensor harness is disconnected: DTCC15DB-00 will be active. This code CANNOT be cleared. The gear will need to be replaced.
  • NOTE: Disconnecting the torque sensor harness while the EPS module is off the vehicle and not powered up will not generate any DTCs. Continue to follow all applicable diagnostic procedures.

When the crystal inside the sensor is vibrated, it produces an AC voltage. The greater the vibration or shock, the higher the voltage and frequency.
