→ Be cautious of shock on the partial component and replace the damaged part (due to drop, etc.) with a new one.
When fastening the steering, excessive impact may result in twisting the center point of the torque sensor.
When removing/installing the connector the wiring may be damaged (deformed) by excessive external force.
Be cautious when storing and replacing the partial components under the abnormal temperature and humidity conditions.
