The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.

Condition/Concern:

Some customers may state that the Drivers Information Center (DIC) displays a "Service Power Steering" message. Upon further inspection a diagnostic code C0460 may also be present in the power steering control module. This condition usually occurs when the steering wheel angle is offset 360 degrees and the vehicle is subjected to extreme cold or hot conditions.

Recommendation/Instructions:

Please do not replace any components on the vehicle as this will not resolve the concern. Engineering is working on a permanent solution for the concern.

A temporary fix for this issue is to keep the vehicle at room temperature for at least 2 hours and then perform the Steering Position/Torque Sensor Calibration procedure. This procedure is listed under the power steering control module in the Tech 2 special function screen. Once completed, clear all DTCs in the power steering control module.

This PI will be updated when a permanent solution is available.

Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.
