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.
Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
With the ignition ON the SCCM sends steering angle and windshield wiper status messages to the ABS module over the HS-CAN 2. If the ABS module does not receive these messages within the specified time frame or if the data contains invalid data, the ABS module sets a DTC. This can be due to a SCCM failure, a circuit failure on the network or an excessive load on the network. For information on the messages sent to the ABS module by the SCCM, refer to the Network Message Chart in Description and Operation of the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) and Stability Control article.
| DTC | Description | Fault Trigger Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| U0212:86 | Lost Communication With Steering Column Control Module: Signal Invalid | If the ABS module receives the front wiper status messages from the SCCM with an invalid value for more than the alloted time, this DTC is set. |
| U0212:87 | Lost Communication With Steering Column Control Module: Missing Message | If the ABS module does not receive the steering angle messages from the SCCM within a pre-determined time frame, this DTC is set. |
