- 09 Ford Escape power steering replacement. Ford escape power steering replacement. Power steering torque sensor. 09 escape power steering. Part # CL8Z-3C529-D. I ordered my motor from PALM BAY FORD, FLORIDA.
Thanks for the video.... I ended up doing this but after I replaced the sensor twice....
I have the 2010 hybid. I replaced the sensor with one from Rock Auto. An aftermarket one. It worked for a few seconds and then was intermittent again working and not working, jittering, and the steering was off center. Also, the steering wheel was easier to turn ( too much assist ) to the left than the right. Then it went back to being stiff all the time. I heard that if you use a ford part it would work. So I got the part number and ordered the ford part from rock auto. It worked perfectly for like about a day and then went back to being stiff. I recalibrated, checked the battery etc. and checked codes again. I got a code saying that there was no communication with the steering controller. I ended up getting a used motor with controller from a junk yard that included the steering sensor in the shaft and installing it. It's been perfect for about 3 months now. I opened the old steering controller to see if there was something burned out or if a cable was corroded or something but everything looked fine.... I don't know why communication was lost
Thanks, I did exactly as you explained and it worked. I swapped with an 2011 steering column motor. You made my day.
Really?
Yup, dropped 200 bones on the torque sensor and that didn't fix the issue.
Now it looks like I'm dropping a G on this unit.
Brilliant. Thanks for posting this video, though bud. 👍
At least I know what direction to go in now.
Apparently, if the steering wheel keeps moving back and forth on its own like it is possessed (puts out a B2278 code), then replacing the torque sensor alone should fix the problem. However, a failure without those symptoms is usually caused by a power steering control module or motor failure and will require replacing the steering column as shown in the video.
@@jake87irwin yes the whole vehicle is junk....
Mine stated out with the steering wheel jiggle but quickly progressed to complete power steering assist fault.
Thanks for this video, it did help some..I changed mine out yesterday and now it works like a charm..All praises TMH
Thank you!
I spent 3/4 of the day replacing the torque sensor for nothing. I need the entire Ass'y afterall. It looks to be about the same amount of work.
Thanks Roger. my 2010 is acting funny but the battery light goes on and the dash lights go out. At least I know it is not a hard job if I have to replace it.
That's your alternator. If the batt light comes on your system isn't getting proper voltage causing all electrical components to stop operation correctly
I am changing mine right now. However, the rack and pinion doesn't line up. Can I just grap the piece on the new module and turn it? I am afraid of damaging the torque sensor. So if not that do I jack the car up and turn the wheels until the rack and pinion line up? I know this thread has been up for a while. Hoping this works. Thanks for the video, you got me this far!
Once you pull the steering wheel and power steering assembly off, the new one should slide right back into place. The steering wheel will only fit into shaft one way. Try turning the steering wheel 90 or 180 degrees before sliding it onto the shaft.
Thank you
What’s the piece called?
Thanks for the video. I’m having a hard time finding the motor and sensor assembly online. Do you have a link to where you bought yours?

@@rogerwilson2147 hi, I know it's been a while since your last post, but I'd appreciate it if you could respond. I believe you had to take out the steering wheel to take about the EPAS motor right?
CL8z-3C529-D
yes
Hey buddy what if ive figured out from this video...and many other videos....that it's just the motor gone bad?...never had the possessed shaky wheel, ive pulled a few panels and can reach the electric motor....is it possible to just replace that?...from what I understand, I'm one step ahead of where you were at....after the recall on the pscm I figured it was the torque sensor...your video led me to believe otherwise, then I realised after checking fuses, it's got to be the motor....and I can access it without tearing the column apart...i believe.
It was really easy to pull the steering column. I'm not a mechanic and didn't want to spend the money to take it to the a shop. For me it was just easier to buy the entire column. It came with a new sensor and motor.
I'm a single full time father, and the whole column used is 250...and the motor....from what ive read on a 4 year old forums is 80 and would not require tearing it down.....if I can save myself the dough ive got to try...ive also read that people screw up installing the torque sensor and wind up replacing the whole column, then selling their old spent column on eBay....so I'm Leary, a new one is 1200 and that ain't happening...i really appreciate your time and getting back with me on 3 year old video...cant tell you how much I appreciate that.
@@randyweber2275 were you able to just replace the motor? I don't have any codes on mine and the power assist is intermittent. It was great for the last 2 weeks but this morning it went back to manual steering. Did you ever look into just having the electric motor rebuilt?
@@glennguerra7888 did you check with Ford to see if the recall had been done in your vin? If it hasn't Ford will fix it free...
My power steering slowly went out, it started with the wheel phantom shaking at park and threw a code B2278 so I replaced sensor in mine and still says power assist fault with no power steering but the phantom shake went away. Thinking about replacing column instead now hope that does it. Is it just mainly two bolts holding the column on? Was it hard to get off and on
Same for me. The sensor didn't fix the power steering but no longer shakes. I'm afraid to go through the trouble and money replacing the steering colum when others have had the steering column motor go out even after replacing it.
@@jake87irwin what was your issue?
@@mtsanchez27 I bought the sensor first thinking is was the cheaper fix to try first but it was the electric steering motor that went out. I found one for around $240 on ebay. I bolted it on and drives fine. Haven't had any issues yet.
@@jake87irwin thanks for your help!!!!
@@mtsanchez27 it was the complete motor with sensor already installed and ready to go.
How did you know it was your electric steering and not something else? Did it throw a code? My steering is stiff like I have no power steering. But there is no light on the dash.
i had no power steering. at first it was on and off, then only when i was turning to the right, lastly the steering wheel was jumping if i turned it all the way to the left or right. There was no codes.
Thanks for the great video. Question; How did you know after changing the Torque Sensor that your problem was the actual motor and not a faulty sensor or something else? Just want to know before spending that cash on a new motor assembly.
changed out the sensor and the steering wheel started locking up again after 2 days. So after doing more research I figured out it was the motor. Wasted $150 on the sensor. when you buy the motor from Ford it comes with a new sensor. Shop around I got my senor from a ford dealership in Daytona , Fl. which is about 300 miles away. the dealers in my area charged $120 more.
I replaced torque sensor too and did not fix my problem. got a motor from junk yard and problem fixed.
what was the symptom
hey...
please help i have a kia picanto 2009
when i turn on my car the steering wheel turns to the max left by itself very fast... I cannot leave the steering wheel when driving.. to the right its hard to rotate.. when i unpluged the eps wire under the steering wheel it went back to the center.. torque sensor should be calibrated? changed? may be the motor? i asked many mecanic and they all said that i should change the column and everything, but im searching for any possible chance that it could be fixed..
thank you
Did you resolve the issue?
@@georgevoight7276 the eps system (torque/mdps/motor) should all be replaced with the steeing column linked to the rack... they sell it all as one part!
Good.
So if after installing a new torque sensor, the wheel is still hard to turn....is that a motor problem? Or does that sound like something else????
In the beginning the wheel was shaking ....I parked it and turned it off...went to start it back up and drive it- but noticed the wheel suddenly became hard to turn......
So I too wasted money by buying just the sensor. Same thing happened to me. It worked for about two days and started shaking again. Like I said in the video just buy the motor. It comes with the sensor already installed. I had to check four or five ford dealers in order to find the cheapest one. Also if you have a LKQ in your area, you can pull one off in about 10-15 minutes. Watch the video to see the tools you need.
@@rogerwilson2147 that's the thing tho.....the shaking was only going on for maybe 10 mins.... quickly after the wheel got stuff and it was hard to turn.....I'm asking of that also sounds like a motor problem?
@@rogerwilson2147 *stiff
@@menarenottheenemy yes the stiffness is the motor. The shaking is the sensor.
@@rogerwilson2147 thanks brother!!!
$1541.22 was the price on the link provided. Ouch.
Hey Roger. That piece that you didn't need that holds the steering wheel. I need it. Can you send me yours?
Sold it to lkq. Sorry.
Did you need to program it after the repairs?
no programing needed.
Do you still have the car?
I have an 09 Escape Hybrid. My steering column looks nothing like this.
Yes still have the car and still working great.
Does the control model come with it?
Yes
You wouldn't by chance have the part number for that would you?

How much was the motor ?
Did it had to be programmed
No programming needed.
roger wilson did it now it says power steering assist fault? Now what?
Need help!!! installed new one and it says power steering assist fault now what?
sorry i didnt respond. my computer broke and i just set my accounts on my new computer. hope you figured it out.
@@rogerwilson2147 this is why I brought mine to Huntington station ford I do think it needed to be programmed to the model number. but I'm also out 3600.00
dollars. but I'm satisfied with the job.
feel more safe driving it again.
just don't understand why there wasn't a recall on a safety issue.
