C2205




C2205 - STEERING ANGLE SENSOR INTERNAL






For a complete wiring diagram Refer to the Wiring Information.

- When Monitored:
With the ignition on.

- Set Condition:
When the Anti-Lock Brake Module detects the Steering Angle Sensor has sent the internal failure status.






1. CHECK FOR A DTC C2205-STEERING ANGLE SENSOR INTERNAL

NOTE: This DTC must be active for the results of this test to be valid.

1. Turn the ignition on.
2. With the scan tool, read and record DTCs.
3. With the scan tool, read and record Freeze Frame information.
4. With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
5. Turn the steering wheel lock to lock.
6. With the scan tool, read and record DTCs.

Does the scan tool display: C2205-STEERING ANGLE SENSOR INTERNAL?

Yes
- Go To 2

No
- Refer to the INTERMITTENT CONDITION diagnostic procedure.
- Perform ABS VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.

2. CHECK THE STEERING ANGLE SENSOR OUTPUT

1. With scan tool read Steering Angle Sensor Signal.
2. Graph sensor while making wheel from lock to lock, left turns reading increases and right turns reading decrease.

Were any erratic readings found?

Yes
- Go To 3

No
- Replace the Anti-Lock Brake Module in accordance with the Service Information.
- Perform ABS VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.

3. CHECK THE WIRING HARNESS, TERMINALS, AND CONNECTORS

1. Check the Steering Angle Sensor installation.
2. Visually inspect the related wiring harness. Look for any bruised, chafed, pierced, or partially broken wires.
3. Visually inspect the related wiring harness connectors. Look for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded terminals.

Were any problems found?

Yes
- Repair as necessary.
- Perform ABS VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.

No
- Go To 4

4. CHECK THE VOLTAGE ON THE (F500) STEERING ANGLE SENSOR SUPPLY CIRCUIT






1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the Dynamics Sensor harness connector.
3. Turn the ignition on.
4. Measure the voltage of the (F500) Steering Angle Sensor Supply Circuit.

Is the voltage above 10 volts?

Yes
- Go To 5

No
- Repair the (F500) Steering Angle Sensor Supply circuit for an open.
- Perform ABS VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.

5. CHECK THE RESISTANCE BETWEEN THE (Z455) STEERING ANGLE SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT AND GROUND






1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the Dynamics Sensor harness connector.
3. Measure the resistance between the (Z455) Steering Angle Sensor Ground Circuit and Ground.

Is the resistance below 5.0 ohm?

Yes
- Replace the Steering Angle Sensor in accordance with the Service Information.
- Perform ABS VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.

No
- Repair the (Z455) Steering Angle Sensor Ground circuit for an open.
- Perform ABS VERIFICATION TEST - VER 1.
