Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Circuit/System Verification
If the condition is intermittent or cannot be duplicated, disconnect the connectors and add Nyogel lubricant 760G. This procedure will correct the high resistance condition due to terminal fretting corrosion.
- Ignition ON.
- Verify the scan tool Steering Wheel Position parameter corresponds to the actual steering wheel position as the steering wheel is turned through its entire range of motion.
- If the parameter does not correspond with the steering wheel position or the reading is erratic
Refer to Circuit/System Testing.
- If the parameter corresponds with the steering wheel position
- If the parameter does not correspond with the steering wheel position or the reading is erratic
- Verify the scan tool Digital HWPS Index Pulse parameter cycles between Low and High as the steering wheel is centered and then turned through its entire range of motion.
- If the parameter does not cycle between Low and High as the steering wheel is turned
Refer to Circuit/System Testing.
- If the parameter cycles between Low and High as the steering wheel is turned
