Circuit/System Description

The steering angle sensor receives a 12 V reference voltage from the electronic brake control module (EBCM). The EBCM receives high speed controller area network (CAN) message inputs from the steering angle sensor identifying the position and direction of the steering wheel rotation. The EBCM utilises this signal to calculate the driver intended driving direction.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition ON.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

C0710 00

The steering angle sensor signal is invalid.

C0710 42

The steering angle sensor is not calibrated.

C0710 5A

•	The steering angle sensor signal is out of specified range.

•	The steering angle sensor offset is out of specified range.

C0710 71

The steering angle sensor signal is not plausible with the yaw rate sensor signal and lateral acceleration sensor signal.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

•	The EBCM disables the stability control for the duration of the ignition cycle.

•	The traction control/stability control-active indicator turns ON.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

•	A current DTC clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.

•	The EBCM will turn OFF the indicator in the next ignition cycle.

Diagnostic Aids

The car should not pull in either direction causing the steering wheel to be OFF centre while driving in a straight line on a level surface.

Circuit/System Verification

Ignition ON, observe the scan tool Steering Column Position parameter. As the steering wheel is turned, the reading should travel between -550° and 550°.

Circuit/System Testing

Ignition ON, verify that DTC C0710 is not present.

⇒	If DTC C0710 is present, perform the Steering Angle Sensor Centreing .

Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B99 Steering Angle Sensor.
Test for less than 5 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 6 and ground.

⇒	If greater than the specified value, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.

Ignition ON, test for greater than 11 V between the 12 V reference circuit terminal 5 and ground.

⇒	If less than the specified range, test the 12 V reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K17 Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM).

If all circuits test normal, replace the B99 Steering Angle Sensor and verify the DTC does not reset.

⇒	If the DTC resets, replace the K17 Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM).

Repair Instructions

•	Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.

•	Steering Angle Sensor Replacement
