DTC Descriptor
DTC C0460 00: Steering Position SensorDTC C0460 12: Steering Position Sensor Below Minimum Threshold
DTC C0460 42: Steering Position Sensor Calibration Data Set Not Programmed
DTC C0460 71: Steering Position Sensor Invalid Serial Data Received
DTC C0460 5A: Steering Position Sensor Plausibility Failure
Circuit/System Description
The electronic brake control module (EBCM) receives CAN message inputs from the steering wheel position sensor identifying the position and direction of the steering wheel rotation.
Conditions for Running the DTC
| • | Ignition ON. |
| • | Ignition voltage is greater than 10 volts. |
Conditions for Setting the DTC
C0460 00, C0460 12, C0460 5A, or C0460 71
The EBCM detects an internal steering angle sensor failure.
C0460 42
Steering angle sensor not calibrated.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
| • | The EBCM disables the ABS/traction control system (TCS)/vehicle stability enhancement system (VSES) for the duration of the ignition cycle. |
| • | A DIC message and/or a warning indicator may be displayed. |
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
| • | The condition for setting the DTC is no longer present. |
| • | The EBCM clears the history DTC when a current DTC is not detected in 100 consecutive drive cycles. |
