Lexus ES: Torque Sensor1 (C1511-C1514,C1521-C1523,C1528,C1531-C1555)
DESCRIPTION
While torque sensor system, motor system or ECU system malfunctions are detected, the fail-safe function suspends power assist. However, power assist continues with limited assistance amount if only C1533 or C1534 is output.
