DTC C0545 00: Steering Wheel Torque Input Sensor


You need service repair info. for diagnostic testing for code co545.
Circuit/System Description
The power steering control module (PSCM) continuously monitors the torque sensor input and output shaft sine wave frequency signals. As the steering wheel is turned and torsional twist is applied to the steering column shaft, the torque sensors input and output shaft sine wave frequency signals are processed by the PSCM to detect and calculate the steering torque.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
The PSCM detects open, short to ground or short between any of the torque sensor circuits.
Actions Taken When DTC Sets
• DTC C0545 is stored in memory.
• The driver information center (DIC) displays the SERVICE POWER STEERING warning message.
• No steering assist.

Your Fusion has electronic power steering. There is no reset or relay button. You will need to have the PSCM (Power Steering Control Module) which is part of the power steering rack and pinion, tested for error codes.

eps ???? spell it out electric power steering (EPS) system ? The system uses the body control module (BCM), power steering control module (PSCM), torque sensor, discrete battery voltage supply circuit, EPS motor, serial data bus, and the instrument panel cluster (IPC) message center to perform the system functions. The PSCM, torque sensor, nor the EPS motor are serviced separately from each other or from the steering column. Ant EPS components diagnosed to be malfunctioning requires replacement of the steering column assembly, also known as the EPS assembly.
The scan tool won't communicate with what ? The power steering control module , BCM or PCM/ECM .

Any voltage on the red wire with black tracer, fuse removed? As far as the amp draw, how much?

Electronic power steering . Do you know anything about automotive electronic's ? Electronic power steering control module , sensor inputs an output control ? DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes . Electrical testing ? Do you have a professional type scan tool to check input an output data , codes ?
Power Steering System Description and Operation (Non-Turbo)
The electric power steering (EPS) system reduces the amount of effort needed to steer the vehicle. The system uses the body control module (BCM), power steering control module (PSCM), torque sensor, discrete battery voltage supply circuit, EPS motor, serial data bus, and the instrument panel cluster (IPC) message center to perform the system functions. The PSCM, torque sensor, not the EPS motor are serviced separately from each other or from the steering column. Any EPS components diagnosed to be malfunctioning requires replacement of the steering column assembly, also known as the EPS assembly.
Torque Sensor
The PSCM uses a torque sensor as it's main input for determining the amount of steering assist. The steering column has an input shaft, from the steering wheel to the torque sensor, and an output shaft, from the torque sensor to the steering shaft coupler. The input and output shafts are separated by a torsion bar, where the torque sensor is located. The sensor consists of a compensation coil, detecting coil and 3 detecting rings. These detecting rings have toothed edges that face each other. Detecting ring 1 is fixed to the output shaft, detecting rings 2 and 3 are fixed top the input shaft. The detecting coil is positioned around the toothed edges of detecting rings 1 and 2. As torque is applied to the steering column shaft the alignment of the teeth between detecting rings 1 and 2 changes, which causes the detecting coil signal voltage to change. The PSCM recognizes this change in signal voltage as steering column shaft torque. The compensation coil is used to compensate for changes in electrical circuit impedance due to circuit temperature changes from the electrical current and voltage levels as well as ambient temperatures for accurate torque detection.
EPS Motor
The EPS motor is a 12-volt brushed DC reversible motor with a 61-amp rating. The motor assists steering through a worm shaft and reduction gear located in the steering column housing.
Power Steering Control Module (PSCM)
The PSCM uses a combination of torque sensor inputs, vehicle speed, calculated system temperature and the steering calibration to determine the amount of steering assist. When the steering wheel is turned, the PSCM uses signal voltage from the torque sensor to detect the amount of torque being applied to the steering column shaft and the amount of current to command to the EPS motor. The PSCM receives serial data from the engine control module (ECM) to determine vehicle speed. At low speeds more assist is provided for easy turning during parking maneuvers. At high speeds, less assist is provided for improved road feel and directional stability. The PSCM nor the EPS motor are designed to handle 61 amps continuously. The PSCM will go into overload protection mode to avoid system thermal damage. In this mode the PSCM will limit the amount of current commanded to the EPS motor which reduces steering assist levels. The PSCM also chooses which steering calibration to use when the ignition is turned ON, based on the production map number stored in the BCM. The PSCM contains all 8 of the steering calibrations which are different in relation to the vehicles RPO's. The PSCM has the ability to detect malfunctions within the EPS system. Any malfunction detected will cause the IPC message center to display PWR STR (or Power Steering) warning message.

Your best bet ,take it to a qualified repair shop .

The system can be scanned for faults, in the is case you need that test performed. The pump only runs when the computer control unit commands it to run it is on demand, this information comes from sensors in the system..

Wrench light means you have a fault or service is due. Not sure what fault is . If it is a fuse the part cost is small, not sure about labour cost, it depends on where fuse is located but shouldn't take more than a few minutes. Hope this helps

Hey Alex , what would you like to know ? Your vehicle has Electronic power steering , controlled by a control module .

Any EPS components diagnosed to be malfunctioning requires replacement of the steering column assembly, also known as the EPS assembly.
They had a recall on these systems ! Suggest you take it to a GM dealer , Chevy , Cadillac , Buick , etc.....

Sorry but your not going to get it fxed fast ! Your vehicle has Electric Power Steering (EPS) , an electronic control module makes it work . If this module is bad an need's replacing your going to have to take it to a GM dealer to have it replaced an programmed .
The Electric Power Steering (EPS) system reduces the amount of effort needed to steer the vehicle. The system uses the power steering control module (PSCM), torque sensor, power steering motor rotational sensor, power steering motor, discrete battery voltage supply circuit, and the GMLAN serial data circuit to perform the system functions. The PSCM and power steering motor are each serviced separately from the steering column assembly. However, the motor rotational sensor is serviced as part of the power steering motor, and the torque sensor is serviced as part of the steering column assembly. The PSCM also monitors vehicle speed from the engine control module (ECM) via the GMLAN serial data circuit. At low speeds more assist is provided for easy turning during parking maneuvers. At higher speeds less assist is provided for improved road feel and directional stability.
Could have DTC'S - diagnostic trouble code's stored , need a professional scan tool to see these code's .
