I've personally reset my torque sensor for steering 2 times now.

Get a helms they tell you how to do it yourself.. You just short 2 pins in the ODB Interface connector.

If you remove power from the ECU for long enuf it will loose the power steering torque settings.

As stated above, this is a simple procedure clearly described in the manual. Try to find a competent dealer.. and buy a shop manual so that you can deal with the most of them that are not.

I can't buy a Helm's manual in Vancouver BC Canada. Can somebody type it out???? Or give me an idea on how to do it? I started a post in the wrong section of the site, sorry I am new here.

Mine feels exactly how the topic states, feels heavy and wont center easily.

Thanks

Ok, here is the bottom line from the Dealer. There is nothing they can do without a DTC (Diagnostic Service Code).

So I guess if I want this fixed I need to do it my self.

Anyone want to post the deatils on this. Say as a Step by Step?

Thanks You.

Now the only question I have is, without a Honda PGM Tester, what do I have to rig to short the curcit to do this. Interface/Pin number would help.

On page 17-44 the diagram on the top right shows the SCS line as pin#1 on the Data Link connector. That is indeed the pin you need to short to ground. Pins 12 and 13 are both ground per the diagram on page 17-27.

Ok, time for me to try this. the worst thing that can happen is that I throw a DTC, and give them (dealer) somthing to fix
