If you find DTC C1512 (torque sensor main/sub voltage) in the Electric Power Steering (EPS), obtain and attach freeze frame data to the PRC and perform all of the checks in the diagnostic procedure of the workshop manual. 

If all checked items are found to be normal (CAN bus line, connectors C-145-1 and C-145, pins 21-24 C-145-1, wiring harness inspection, voltage measurement at pins 22 and 24, data list check of items one and two), then replace the steering column assembly only. There is no need to replace the steering motor.
