Torque Sensor: Proper Overhaul of the Steering Column

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Checks and maintenance

Video tutorial

After diagnosing the steering column, the "torque sensor" error is often found, leading to the common question: "what do we do now?" Replacing just the torque sensor is only a temporary solution: after 6 to 7 months, the problem reappears. The overhaul of the steering column must be comprehensive and include many other components, such as the overhaul of the control unit, the motors, the replacement of the memories, the replacement of the bearings, and finally the replacement of the torque sensors, which is just one of the elements to check.

Only after completing this full overhaul can you ensure the steering column functions perfectly over time.
