The power steering control module (PSCM) receives a vehicle speed message from the powertrain control module (PCM) via the serial data circuit. The PSCM uses this vehicle speed message and other inputs to determine the desired amount of steering assist. If the PSCM does not receive the vehicle speed message, it sets DTC C0000.
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC C0000 Vehicle Speed Information Circuit
• | The ignition is ON. |
• | DTC U1300 or U1301 are not set. |
The PSCM receives an invalid, or no vehicle speed message from the engine control module (ECM).
• | DTC C0000 is stored in memory. |
• | The instrument panel cluster (IPC) displays the SERVICE VEHICLE SOON warning indicator. |
• | Steering assist is set to a default level. |
• | A current DTC will clear on the next malfunction-free ignition cycle. |
• | A history DTC will clear after 100 consecutive malfunction-free ignition cycles. |
