2006 Opel Meriva 1.7 Diesel Electric Power Steering: C1500, C1522 Errors & Motor Current Issues

Hello everyone, I have a problem with Opel Meriva year 2006 engine 1.7 disel, the problem relates to electric power steering. I have gone through all the threads and nowhere has a definite answer what and exactly what:
In the car after the ignition all the lights go out and ok, I start to turn the steering wheel left and right to the resistance and so on, operation support, stop turning, jerking the steering wheel, the EPS lamp comes on and the support is gone. With techa he reads the C 1500, C 1522 errors, I unplug the blue power plug and after a while I plug in, the EPS goes out again and theoretically support works until the moment I start steering and playing again. Read the parameters in tech the only thing that changes how it works and does not work support are the values for:
Motor current calculated value 76.50 A correct falls to 0 with EPS illuminated
75.50A motor current limitation correct falls to 0 when EPS is lit
connected 2.92V charge and does not change, writes about it because I connected another Meriva and there the value was 2.10V and I do not know where the problem is. I spoke to several mechanics and everyone says something else:
1. damaged transmission, to be replaced whole!
2. defective steering angle sensor
3. damaged alternator bridge (previously damaged battery)
4. no contacts
Maybe some of you had such a problem, interestingly, the longer a car is not burning, or it is colder, I can allow myself to turn the steering wheel before I disconnect EPS, before I had a problem with the speedometer and I exchanged half of the car, because the mechanics said so, it turned out that the cable on the loose link, so something feels like a similar problem now, but ...

The steering sensor goes directly to the gear, clean the plug.
If it's still a replacement, it also fits the Corsa C.

There are 3 cables, blue and two gray, I have all disassembled several times, I drove around 40, maybe I will look for another type of contact.

Hello again, the future season and I bought a sensor of the hangman and I did not want to buy Chinese and I decided to buy used and skucha is a problem with mounting, namely, there are no errors in the support for the change, but EPS still lights up and does not work support you can relate to the car it turns itself to the right, I guess it's a badly calibrated sensor but I have no idea how to do it, please help me

It's impossible, something is wrong.

But he will not come in another position.


Maybe the sensor was removed in a different position than you mounted it.
You can not do anything without a computer.

correcting the sensor found in the input and the sock but as I wrote does not work this time without error, it is very likely that when removing the wheel sensor could be differently set up when mounting, but I think it can be mastered by a subcomponent or in tech can somehow configure it ??

Look at the sensor's display.

I figured out with the sensor I dismantled the old suspect as it looks and set up the new and support it worked a few moments and then the same mistakes as before, it was not a hangman sensor and interesting because I talked with one more user of the meriva who had the same his meriva lost support in sunny days and worked normally in cold anyway in his case the problem was on the side of the installation namely bundle of wires from the main fuses on the underpass and passed through the bulkhead to the interior somewhere there is a unlucky place supposedly someone can tell me where to order and how it can possibly to measure

There are 2 huge cubes on the left leg of the driver.

colleagues next question which me notruje what is the electronic insert power steering talked with the magician and told me that most repairs is overpaid because regeneration involves some interference in the electronics sometimes only a sensor is exchanged hangar but usually ends with this insert as I can guess this is the place where the non-belted cable comes in and the plug any hints ??

The mountain climber annoys me a little bit what you write because in total I do not know what you want to do, the same support as cheap as borscht and also approaches with corsa c.
If it does not work, it's replaced, and there's 2h of work only with it.

My support also turned off in my Meriva, most often when maneuvers in the parking lot. Cleaning contacts, cleaning klem and replacing aku helped.

Hey,

I tried to dismantle the EPS cables in order to treat them with contact, unfortunately after removing the covers from the steering wheel I did not know which ones. Maybe one of you knows what's going on?

Opel Meriva A 1.6 16V 2005

All to this connector in the left driver's pillar.

You mean this blue cube?

Btw. I tried to dismantle the electric cubes, which include a lot of thin cables. It did not work, and I did not want to pull on my strength. Do you know how to undress them?

Oh, what's going on with the driver's left post, there's still some EPS cable under the fuses? Jc, what does it look like?

For me, a year ago I had a problem with support, I did not want to turn on and when it started, it again turned off on the road. I was behind the visitor's computer and it was ok. In the autumn I changed the tires, I had a grandfather one rim in the front on the driver's side, I was still breathing, which left me turning left. Now I exchanged for the summer, it's ok, but circuses with support started, after starting the engine I do not want to turn on, and when the engine is off and I turn the steering wheel right, I start the car. Did I have a strain detector on the left through this winter tire rim, what did I endure with the winter tire or was it the fault of the mangle? I have OPLA MERIVA 2005 petrol 1.4 90HP

Have you heard about an operation such as turning the sensor calibration?
PS about this load on the sensor, you wrote when drunk or how?

Meriva has one of the most difficult columns to calibrate. Often even op-com can not reset the steer force. This must be done manually, adjusting the sensor setting and simultaneously viewing the torque indicator on the computer. Less than 1Nm you do not feel the difference in the left / right turning force.

As for the error C1522 is an engine fault and only its replacement will help. I tested on several Merivach. It most often crashes this error at the maximum turn, ie the maximum current drawn by the motor.

Professionally I deal with the regeneration and repair of these aids. Usually, the problem isn't with the installation, it's a dead end. Usually, the power steering is simply worn out and requires regeneration. There is no point in inserting used sensors as they wear out. Calibration should be performed in two stages, first manually determine the sensor, then carefully calibrate using a computer.

I have a similar problem, the support stopped working and the speedometer does not work yet, I checked all the cables, I lubricated them, I replaced the wheel speed sensor, it was blocked, I installed it and it still does not work, only not and it does not show any errors.

Start by repairing the speed sensor. I don't know if Meriva has a separate box or takes the signal from the ABS.
Speed is needed for the assist driver.

Meriva takes speed from ABS sensor. The sensor is OK.

The worst thing is that it doesn't show me any errors on my computer.

Well, the signal from the engine ECU does not come out - the pins in the plug on the engine controller often rot there.
To start the support, you need, apart from the power supply - the alternator operation signal (the same plug on the ECU) and the speed signal.
If there is no signal from the ECU, the power steering controller simply does not activate it. There are no errors because for him the engine is simply turned off. Have you been messing around with this plug-in lately? There are two large plugs on the controller.

I haven't looked at it yet, but I'll look tomorrow.

I looked at the ECU plugs, they were okay, but to be sure, I treated them with Electrosol, connected them, and it started working. Thanks for the hints 👍

Hello. I replaced the electric support column with a used one, I put on an identical whole set. I have the impression that the steering wheel is harder to turn in one direction, and lighter in the other. I didn't calibrate the sensor or anything. I set it up, turned on the lights went out, there is support. Is it possible to make it spin harder?

Bright. In this "new" column, you already have a used steering sensor. It'll fall off in a while. You can calibrate the twist force, and it should help for a while. However, it's better to get ready to change the sensor.
Just don't buy a Chinese counterfeit because they last a maximum of a few months.
You can get originals for less than PLN 300, e.g. at sklep.tomauto.pl

Such symptoms occur when the steering angle sensor is damaged? No lights have come on for me yet. I'll calibrate the sensor and we'll see. I have a month warranty, so maybe it will fail sooner and then I will replace it with another column.
