WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Chevrolet Malibu. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Circuit/System Verification must be performed before Circuit/System Testing. The testing listed below is for the external Steering Wheel Position Sensor. Refer to DTC C0460 for the internal Position Steering Angle Sensor diagnostics.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the Steering Wheel Position Sensor.
- Ignition OFF for 60 seconds, test for less than 10 Ξ© between the low reference circuit terminal 2 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the Electronic Brake Control Module.
- Disconnect the harness connector at the Electronic Brake Control Module.
- Test for less than 1 V between the 5 V reference circuit terminal 1 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the 5 V reference circuit for a short to voltage.
- Ignition OFF, test for infinite resistance between the 5 V reference circuit terminal 1 and ground.
- If less than the specified value, test the 5 V reference circuit for a short to ground.
- Ignition OFF, test for less than 2 Ξ© between the 5 V reference circuit terminal 1 at the Steering Wheel Position Sensor harness connector and terminal 31 at the Electronic Brake Control Module harness connector.
- If greater than the specified range, test the 5 V reference circuit for an open/high resistance.
- Ignition ON, test for less than 1 V between the signal circuits listed below and ground.
- Steering Wheel Position Signal A terminal 5
- Steering Wheel Position Signal B terminal 6
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage.
- Ignition OFF, test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit listed below and ground.
- Signal A terminal 5
- Signal B terminal 6
- If less than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to ground.
- Test for less than 2 Ξ© between the signal circuit terminals listed below.
- Signal A terminal 5 at the Steering Wheel Position Sensor harness connector and terminal 8 at the Electronic Brake Control Module harness connector.
- Signal B terminal 6 at the Steering Wheel Position Sensor harness connector and terminal 20 at the Electronic Brake Control Module harness connector.
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for an open/high resistance.
- If all circuits test normal, replace the Steering Wheel Position Sensor. If the DTC resets replace the Electronic Brake Control Module.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- β’ You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- β’ Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- β’ The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- β’ You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- β’ You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
