Operate the steering wheel to the left and right.
Specification : [MOTOR CURRENT - TARGET MOTOR CURRENT] < 10 A
Fig.1) Sensor output at turn a handle left during idle
Fig.2) Current characteristic chart
Check whether the target current magnitude is the same as the motor current magnitude, refer current characteristic chart according to present the vehicle speed and the torque sensor.
Is parameter within specifications?
