  • power steering light illuminated

The mentioned error code means: C1512 Torque Sensor 2, Malfunction.
So there is a malfunction in the second torque sensor of the electric power steering (All in all there should be four torque sensors.)

First, I would check the wiring, harness etc. It could be a corrored or damaged cable. Maybe the sensor itself is defective.

I hope this information will help you.
With kind regards,

Hi,
thanks for your quick answer.

I don't believe, your error has something to do with the change of fuse and battery.

So, did I get it right? The Power Steering Indicator is on and the Power Steering isn't working?

I would check the harness. Often I heard something about a broken wire here, a corroded connector plug there. But it could get quite difficult to find the real cause. Your only hint is the torque sensor. This is the area where I would begin to check the wirings and so on.

Sorry, without a closer look that's all what I can do from here.
