Test Description

2006 Chevrolet Chevy Express G2500, Van Cargo, 6.6 2SECTION Test Description
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2007 GMC Savana Special, 2007 GMC Savana Camper Special, 2007 GMC Savana, 2007 Chevrolet RV Cutaway, and 2007 Chevrolet Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The number below refers to the step number on the diagnostic table.

  1. 2:  If the DTC sets without turning the steering wheel or driving the vehicle, a malfunction exists in the analog steering wheel position signal to the EBCM.
DTC C0455

Step Action Values Yes No

1 Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle? - Go to Step 2  Go to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle
2 
IMPORTANT: Center the steering wheel before proceeding with this step. Do not rotate the steering wheel while performing this step.
  1. Use the scan tool to clear the DTCs.
  2. Turn OFF the ignition for 5 seconds.
  3. Turn ON the ignition.
  4. Wait approximately 5 seconds to verify whether or not the DTC sets.
Does the DTC set?		 - Go to Step 3  Go to Step 10 
3
  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Disconnect the steering wheel position sensor harness connector.
  3. Turn ON the ignition.
  4. Select the vehicle stability enhancement system (VSES) Data Display on the scan tool.
  5. Observe the Analog SWPS Signal parameter on the scan tool.
Does the scan tool indicate that the steering wheel position sensor data parameter is less than specified value?		 0.15 V Go to Step 4  Go to Step 9 
4
  1. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the steering wheel position 5-volt reference circuit and the analog steering signal circuit.
  2. Observe the Analog SWPS Signal parameter on the scan tool.
Does the scan tool indicate that the steering wheel position sensor data parameter is greater than specified value?		 4.75 V Go to Step 5  Go to Step 6 
5 Use a DMM to measure the voltage between the steering wheel position 5-volt reference circuit and the steering wheel position low reference circuit.
Does the voltage measure greater than the specified value?		 4.75 V Go to Step 16  Go to Step 8 
6 Test the 5-volt reference circuit of the steering wheel position sensor for an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 19  Go to Step 7 
7 Test the signal circuit of the steering wheel position sensor for an open or a short to ground. Refer to Testing for Short to Ground and Wiring Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 19  Go to Step 16 
8 Test the low reference circuit of the steering wheel position sensor for an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 19  Go to Step 16 
9 Test the signal circuit of the steering wheel position sensor for a short to voltage. Refer to Testing for Short to Ground and Wiring Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 19  Go to Step 16 
10 Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC as specified in the supporting text.
Does the DTC set?		 - Go to Step 11  Go to Diagnostic Aids
11
  1. Select the VSES Data Display on the scan tool.
  2. Center the steering wheel and verify that the front wheels are straight ahead.
  3. Observe the Analog SWPS Signal parameter.
Does the scan tool display an Analog SWPS Signal within the specified range?		 2.3-2.7 V Go to Step 12  Go to Step 17 
12
  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Disconnect the steering wheel position sensor harness connector. Refer to Steering Wheel Position Sensor or Steering Shaft Lower Bearing Replacement .
  3. Disconnect the electronic brake control module (EBCM) harness connector. Refer to Control Module References .
  4. Turn ON the ignition.
  5. Test the steering wheel position circuits, signal A and signal B for the following conditions:
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 19  Go to Step 13 
13 Test the battery positive voltage circuit to the steering wheel position sensor for an intermittent open. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents and Wiring Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 19  Go to Step 14 
14 Test both of the steering wheel position sensor ground circuits for an intermittent open. Refer to Testing for Electrical Intermittents and Wiring Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 19  Go to Step 15 
15 Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the steering wheel position sensor. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 19  Go to Step 17 
16 Inspect for poor connections at the harness connector of the EBCM. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs .
Did you find and correct the condition?		 - Go to Step 19  Go to Step 18 
17 Replace the steering wheel position sensor. Refer to Steering Wheel Position Sensor or Steering Shaft Lower Bearing Replacement .
Did you complete the replacement?		 - Go to Step 19  -
18
IMPORTANT: Following EBCM replacement, perform the setup procedure for the EBCM and perform the Yaw Rate Reference Table Reset Procedure. Use the scan tool to perform the Tire Size Calibration procedure.
Replace the EBCM. Refer to Control Module References .Did you complete the replacement?		 - Go to Step 19  -
19
  1. Use the scan tool Clear All Class 2 DTCs function to clear all of the DTCs from all modules.
  2. Turn OFF the ignition for 5 seconds.
  3. Turn ON the ignition.
  4. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC as specified in the supporting text.
Does the DTC reset?		 - Go to Step 2  System OK

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
