Signal Too High
Signal too high
Checking the connectors
- Ignition on
- Read off the current.
Turn the steering wheel to the limit position in both directions. The current should be between 11 and 30 mA.

Is the value OK?
Yes - FAULT FOUND
No - Checking wiring and sensors
-------------------------------------------------
Checking wiring and sensors
- Disconnect the cable harness between the control module for the steering wheel angle sensor and the steering wheel module (SWM).
Check the wiring between the control module for the steering wheel angle sensor:
terminal #9 (terminal (#A33) and steering wheel module (SWM) terminal #12 (terminal #A12)
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 wiring between the control module and the steering wheel angle sensor.

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 the current in the circuit.
Turn the steering wheel to full lock in both directions.
The current should oscillate between 11 and 30 mA.
Is the current OK?
Yes - Verification completed
No - Fault-tracing information

Fault-tracing information
The fault should have been detected and remedied. As this is not the case fault-tracing has failed.
Exit fault-tracing for this diagnostic trouble code (DTC) or make another attempt.
Do you want to exit fault-tracing?
Yes - Exit Fault-Tracing
No - Attempt New Test
