Fault-Tracing Information
Fault tracing
Checking the status
- Ignition off
- Wait approximately 10 seconds.
- Engine running.
- First turn the steering wheel max. to the right, then max. to the left. Then set the steering wheel to the straight-ahead position.
- Read the trouble code counter by clicking the VCT2000 symbol.
The counters are used to determine the problem's status. For general information about the counters, see: Description of counter Description Of Counter
Counter 1 indicates the number of drive cycles without fault since the fault was last validated.
If counter 1 is the same as 0, this means that the fault has been detected in this operating cycle (permanent fault). Replace the Steering wheel module (SWM).
If counter 1 is over 0, this indicates that the problem has not been detected in this driving cycle (intermittent problem). The problem has existed earlier but is not active right now. Then check counter 4. Counter 4indicates number of driving cycles with problem since the problem was validated for the first time.
- If the number of incorrect driving cycles is high, this indicates an intermittent recurring problem. Replace the Steering wheel module (SWM).
- If the number of incorrect driving cycles is low, this indicates an intermittent temporary problem. No action.
Hint: Counter 3 indicates number of driving cycles since first time that the problem occurred. If the value for counter 3 is divided by the value for counter 4, the intensity of the problem is obtained. The higher the value, the higher the problem intensity. A high problem intensity indicates that the malfunction recurs often.
Note! If the trouble code returns replace the Steering Wheel Module (SWM).
Remedy as necessary.
Other information
- The Steering Angle Sensor (SAS) is integrated in the Steering Wheel Module (SWM). When replacing the control module, see Steering wheel module (SWM), replacing Service and Repair.
