the torque sensor is an integral part of the steering gear (motor) and cannot be purchases separately if i am not wrong.

Hi guys,
Just found this thread because I'm now havin the same stilly steering problem... so need you guys help and input. Just wanted to know whats the final assessment of this problem?? Do we have to just change the sensor & reset ECU or change relay?? Have the other guys in this forum with this problem fixed it yet and if so what really needs to be changed? Thanks Dave |

Thanks Dave :wiggle: The only 1 thing that I'm 100% sure to fix the problem is by change the entire sterring rack (it comes with the motor attached to it). I've change that and it solve the problem. Heard about people mentioning changing the torque sensor but nobody has one that in Singpaore yet....correct me if I am wrong. 2F2F formerly!! |

Another question to you guys...
How potentially dangerous is this silly problem and how fast does the problem progress and get worse?? Am I supposed to avoid driving altogether ideally or just pray and hope for the best when driving and just take it real slow.... Dave |
Good to hear Derrick has found a lower cost solution. I guess it is to replace the torque sensor.
BTW, the entire steering rack cost about $1700-$1800, not including labour. Luckily mine change during warranty (3yrs) period. Note: Initially, it vibrate when engine is very cold, then also virbate when engine is slightly warm (after parked for 2-3 hrs). |
Thanks for the update dude.
Actually it depends on luck. virus has this problem but hasnt gotten any worse but as for me its quite bad. Was exiting rochor and turning to suntec. The whole steering wheel jerked bout 5 times while turning, luckily its only five. You just need to take it slow especially in corners thats all and try not to speed. Dont worry i am still driving mine everyday, love the car too much to let it stay in the parking lot for 1 day. :D |
Funny how this problem started...just out of the blue one day when startin up...
Its also wierd why when warmed up that the problem goes away... if there was some electrical or mechanical fault that shouldnt be the case at all... The darn thing is my cars a PI hance no more warranty liao..shucks....just hope the problem doesn't get worse for my case too... currently is just a mild shudder in the am start up.. Dave :sad: |
solution
So did anyone found any solution to solve the problem yet, was told by GR that just need to replace the sensor. But been waiting for few months still no news from them. So i think to source for any place to get it replace fast before anything happen to me. Please advise
