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 utilizes this signal to calculate the driver intended driving direction.

Conditions for Running the DTC

Ignition ON

Conditions for Setting the DTC

C0460 71

The control module received an invalid steering angle sensor signal.

C0710 00

The steering angle sensor signal is invalid.

C0710 42

The steering angle sensor is not calibrated.


C0710 5A

No steering angle sensor signal

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

The steering angle sensor offset is out of specified range.


Action Taken When the DTC Sets


The EBCM disables the stability control and hill start assist 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 center 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 from -550 to +550°.

Circuit/System Testing


1. Ignition ON, verify that DTC C0710 42 or C0710 5A is not present.

2. If either DTC is present, perform the Steering Angle Sensor Centering .

3. Inspect the B99 Steering Wheel Angle Sensor for correct installation.

4. If loose or incorrect installation is diagnosed, correct the installation of the component and perform the Steering Angle Sensor Centering .

5. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B99 Steering Wheel Angle Sensor.

6. Test for less than 5 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 6 and ground.

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

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

9. 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.

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

11. If the DTC resets, replace the K17 Electronic Brake Control Module.
