For the torque sensor on the electric power steering rack, which controls the power assist operation, insufficient contact pressure can be exerted, due to the improper surface finishing of the electrical contacts. If this happens, the sensor may not generate the proper signals, and in the worst case, the warning light is illuminated and the power assist system fails to work properly.
