Test G: The Steering Angle Sensor Module Does Not Respond To The Scan Tool

PINPOINT TEST G: THE STEERING ANGLE SENSOR MODULE DOES NOT RESPOND TO THE SCAN TOOL


G1-G2:






G2-G3:






G4:






Normal Operation
The steering angle sensor module communicates with the scan tool through the high speed controller area network (HS-CAN). Circuits VDB04 (WH/BU) (HS-CAN +) and VDB05 (WH) (HS-CAN -) provide the network connection to the steering angle sensor module. The steering angle sensor module shares the HS-CAN network with the PCM, the ABS module, the four wheel drive (4WD) control module (if equipped), the restraints control module (RCM), the occupant classification sensor module, the adaptive front lighting module (if equipped) and the instrument cluster. Voltage to the steering angle sensor module is supplied by circuit CBP34 (VT/BN). Ground is supplied by circuit GD115 (BK/GY).

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
- Fuse
- Wiring, terminals or connectors
- Steering angle sensor module
