Signal Too High

Signal too high. Permanent fault

Checking the connectors




- Ignition off
- Check the control module for the steering wheel angle sensor and the steering wheel module connectors. Check for contact resistance and oxidation according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault
- Reinstall the components, reconnect the connectors etc.
- Ignition on
- Read off the status of steering wheel angle signal R2.
Turn the steering wheel in both directions and check that the value changes between ON and OFF.
If the value changes, the cause of the fault was contact resistance or oxidation in the control module or in the steering wheel angle sensor connector.

Does the value change between OFF and ON?

Yes - Fault Found

No - Checking wiring and sensors

-------------------------------------------------

Checking wiring and sensors








- Ignition off
- The control module for the steering wheel angle sensor disconnected
- Steering wheel module disconnected
- Connect the breakout box to the control module for the steering wheel angle sensor and to the steering wheel module
Check the wiring between the control module for the steering wheel angle sensor terminal #12 (#A36) and steering wheel module terminal #13 (#A13). Check for an open-circuit according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault. Check for a short-circuit to supply voltage according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault.
Try replacing the steering wheel angle sensor if no faults are found in the cable between the control module for the steering wheel angle sensor and the steering wheel module.

Hint: After the repair it is necessary to check that the fault has been rectified.




- Ignition off.
- Connect the connectors, install the components, etc.
- Ignition on.
- Read off steering wheel angle signal R2.
- Turn the steering wheel to full lock in both directions.
The value should change between OFF and ON.
