1. What does C1512 mean?

DTC C1512 is identified in verified Mitsubishi/NHTSA communication as “Torque Sensor Main/Sub Voltage Found in EPS.” The communication directs technicians to capture Freeze Frame Data and follow the Workshop Manual diagnostic procedure.

2. Technical explanation

Verified evidence associates C1512 with the Electric Power Steering (EPS) system. For 2015–16 Outlander Sport/RVR, Mitsubishi’s communication says to obtain and attach Freeze Frame Data (FFD) to the PRC and perform all checks in the Workshop Manual diagnostic procedure. The supplied evidence references checks of the CAN bus line, connectors C-145-1 and C-145, pins 21–24 at C-145-1, wiring-harness inspection, and voltage measurement at pins 22 and 24. The evidence excerpt does not establish the final diagnostic conclusion or repair procedure.

3. What system is affected?

Electric Power Steering (EPS).

4. How serious is this code?

Not yet established by verified evidence.

5. Symptoms you may notice

Not yet established by verified evidence.

6. Possible causes

  • A torque-sensor main/sub voltage condition is identified by the DTC description.
  • The official communication directs inspection of the CAN bus line, connectors C-145-1 and C-145, specified connector pins, wiring harness, and voltage at pins 22 and 24. It does not establish which item is the cause in an individual vehicle.

7. Can I still drive the vehicle?

Not yet established by verified evidence.

8. Can I charge the vehicle?

Not yet established by verified evidence.

9. What you can safely do

  • Have a qualified Mitsubishi service facility diagnose the EPS fault using the applicable Workshop Manual procedure.
  • Preserve diagnostic information, including Freeze Frame Data, before clearing codes if possible.

10. Step-by-step troubleshooting

  1. Obtain Freeze Frame Data (FFD) and attach it to the PRC, as directed in the verified Mitsubishi communication.
  2. Perform all checks in the Workshop Manual diagnostic procedure.
  3. The evidence references checks of the CAN bus line; connectors C-145-1 and C-145; pins 21–24 at connector C-145-1; wiring-harness condition; and voltage measurement at pins 22 and 24.
  4. Do not assume a component replacement is required based on C1512 alone; the supplied evidence does not establish a final repair decision.

11. When to contact service

Contact a Mitsubishi service facility for EPS diagnosis. The supplied official communication specifically directs Workshop Manual diagnostics and Freeze Frame Data collection for C1512.

12. What the service center may check

  • Collect Freeze Frame Data (FFD).
  • Follow the applicable Workshop Manual diagnostic procedure.
  • Check the CAN bus line.
  • Inspect connectors C-145-1 and C-145.
