Electronic – Automotive power steering unit connector identification

automotiveconnectoridentification

I would like to request some help to identify the following connector (at least the manufacturer and connector family type):

  • located inside the Toyota Camry 2018 Hybrid Power Steering Rack Pinion (marked with 2.)
  • it is connecting the torque sensor with the EPS motor
  • the type of the power steering rack pinion is: JJ501-003031

Thank you in advance,

Connector marked with 2.:

Automotive connectors may very well be proprietary designs done by the company itself or on special sourcing contract with a connector manufacturer. As such it is common that you will not be able to independently source the connectors yourself.

A secondary concern is that these cables also use special crimp on contacts that require very expensive tooling to reliably apply the contacts.

It is an unfortunate byproduct of the mass production world where it is next to impossible to get individual replacement parts and instead have to purchase whole subassemblies instead. Have you considered visiting a auto salvage yard to see if you can get a used cable assembly?
