Power Steering Control Module Programming and Setup - Electronic Power Steering

The following service procedures require either a programming or a setup event performed for a complete repair.

The electronic power steering control module is part of the power steering assist motor assembly and is electronically paired with the steering gear's sensors.

If the complete steering gear INCLUDING the assist motor assembly was replaced, or for reprogramming of an existing power steering system WITHOUT replacement, refer to the POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE REPROGRAMMING instructions in this article.
If ONLY the Power Steering Assist Motor assembly is replaced, follow the POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE REPLACEMENT instructions.

Power Steering Control Module Replacement

Note: During the procedures listed below, critical data is retrieved from vehicle components and stored in the scan tool computer's hard drive. This data is needed during the programming and setup sequences.

Ensure the same scan tool is used and capable of reading, storing, and writing the vehicle's system data.

  1. Connect a scan tool to the vehicle and access SPS. Refer to Service Programming System (SPS) .
  2. Note: Step 2 copies the worm gear wear counter data from the power steering control module PRIOR to the module's removal and stores it on the scan tool computer's hard drive.

    AFTER completing step 2, the power steering control module can now be removed and replaced.

  3. Perform the SPS function Electronic Power Steering - Prepare Control Module for Removal and follow the on-screen instructions.
  4. Replace the Power Steering Assist Motor containing the Power Steering Control Module. Refer to Power Steering Assist Motor Replacement .
  5. Note: The next two steps will transfer the vehicle's critical data, including the worm gear wear counter data saved in step 2, back to the vehicle components.

  6. With the Power Steering Assist Motor replaced and reconnected, using the same scan tool, perform the SPS function Electronic Power Steering - Programming and follow the on-screen instructions.
  7. Perform the SPS function Electronic Power Steering - Setup and follow the on-screen instructions.
  8. Perform the Steering Angle Sensor Centring and Software Endstop Learning procedure. Refer to Power Steering Control Module Calibration .
  9. Clear DTCs after completing the programming and setup procedures.

Power Steering Control Module Reprogramming

Do not program or reprogram the electronic power steering control module unless directed by a service procedure or a service bulletin.

Note: This procedure applies to reprogramming of the existing steering gear or the initial programming if the complete steering gear assembly including the assist motor was replaced. If only the power steering control module is replaced, follow the Power Steering Control Module Replacement instructions above.

  1. Connect a scan tool to the vehicle and access SPS. Refer to Service Programming System (SPS) .
  2. Perform the SPS function Electronic Power Steering - Programming and follow the on-screen instructions.
  3. Perform the SPS function Electronic Power Steering - Setup and follow the on-screen instructions.
  4. Perform the Steering Angle Sensor Centring and Software Endstop Learning procedure. Refer to Power Steering Control Module Calibration .
  5. Clear DTCs after completing the programming and setup procedures.

Steering Angle Sensor Centring and Software Endstop Learning

For the steering angle sensor centring and software endstop learning, refer to Power Steering Control Module Calibration .
