APPLICABILITY

1

NOTE: If a system undervoltage or overvoltage DTC is set along with this
DTC, diagnose the system voltage DTC first.
NOTE: Electromagnetic (radio) interference can cause an intermittent
system malfunction by interrupting communication between the sensor
and the CAB.
NOTE: The Steering Angle Sensor is very sensitive to changes due to
alignment problems. The sensor must be recalculated using the DRBIII

t if

alignment has been changed by more than 5 degrees.
Turn the ignition on.
With the DRBIII

t, erase DTCs.

Move the Steering Wheel from stop to stop several times.
With the DRBIII

t, read DTCs.

Does this DTC reset?

All

Yes

→ Go To 2

No

→ Go To 3

2

NOTE: When the vehicle is in a turn, the ESP compares the Steering Angle
Sensor value and the speed of the inner and outer wheels to determine if the
values are plausible.
Inspect the front end and steering components for damage or misalignment.
Inspect the steering column and Steering Angle Sensor for correct mounting and
installation.
Inspect the tires and wheels to make sure that they are the correct size. All tires must
be the same size.
Were any problems found?

All

Yes

→ Repair or replace components as necessary in accordance with the
