SYMPTOM/CONDITION 

During EPS module electrical diagnosis and verification, DO NOT disconnect the gray EPS torque sensor connector on the EPS module. See figures 1-4.

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.
