Electric Steering Torque Sensor-Why the steering wheel spins on it's own after installation
zhlédnutí 18KPřed rokem
Here is a video explaining why the steering wheel spins all the way, left or right, on it's own after installing a torque sensor. Something in the steering column moved during reassembly causing the angle and torque discs in the sensor to get out of alignment.

    Wouldn't both tabs slide into the same groove on the shaft? They would be locked in place in relation to each other. Why is it a problem that the aftermarket discs can spin "independently"? What are the downsides of using an aftermarket sensor? With the prices being $400 for an OEM, and $100 for an aftermarket, it is important to know what the tradeoffs are.

    • @powersteeringseals4085
      @powersteeringseals4085 Před 12 dny

      Yes, both slide into the keyway on the shaft. But the torque disc tab is smaller allowing a plus/minus 5 degree of movement. The aftermarket do not allow for this movement. The discs are 'together' on the aftermarket. The aftermarket are not complying with the OE design for the system.

    Replaced an EPS sensor then after a few months it failed again. I aligned the original one and put it back...had it working for several months and now failed again. What I plan to do is put epoxy between the spline and the lower part sensor so that it stays aligned always. The upper part sensor has slot to fit in and does not change its alignment. Will it work?

      You can realign it and put back the pin before inserting the whole sensor assembly. The problem is the fine spline where the lower sensor fits tightly (or not) but loses its alignment in time...

    i begun my own project...and still learning a lot about these sensors...(ima newbie to put it this way...) recently my car alfa romeo had a bad sensor witch caused the steering lose power(caused by the used sensor) so instead buying a new EPS i decided to buy the tools to replace the sensor on my own(eventualy doing the hole thing,basicaly replacing all the parts that are exposed to wear including electronics) so basicaly...im a bit upsed since i did calibrated the sensor...put it back in to the steering column/box and the result was 98% acurate. the tool shows the sensor is calibrated but the car...says its a bit off.. those sensors even calibrated while disassembled they tend to de-calibrate just a slight while ur re-mounting the hole thing i even noticed just a slight touch on the sensor it self it goes off the target.. i wish i could learn more about these and maybe il make these as a job for my self by helping others with this problem.(replacing the sensor and/or electronics parts,basicaly regenerating the hole EPS)

    Thanks, I have the same issue, may I ask what does the retaining wire hold, is it just the two discs or more. Can the retaining wire be re-installed if you re-aligne the two discs. Many thanks Geoff

    • @powersteeringseals4085
      @powersteeringseals4085 Před rokem

      Retaining wire=lock pin? The lock pin holds the 2 disc's in alignment until the sensor is installed and aligned. The spinning is caused when something moves during re-assembly of the column and the discs get out of alignment. You can remove the sensor and try to realign the discs as I show and reinstall the pin. It will go in straight when they are in alignment.

      @@powersteeringseals4085 many thanks, I don't know the history of the unit and it's going into a custom car. This unit sensor seems very sensitive to the natural zone, i used a drill to align the two discs and had a play with it on the bench and managed to make it work with the sensor out and moving it both ways. Thank you so much. One question are they always very sensitive to the natural zone. Point of interest the grove machined in the shafts is much larger than the bottom pin, is this normal and I assume there are no other bits to take up the slack.
