Code RS0031: SSS Solenoid Valve Short To Ground

  1. Clear codes. Using scan tool, select RSS OUTPUTS, and then RS 005 (STRG SOL). Cycle SSS solenoid for 20 seconds. Display codes. If Code RS0031 is set, go to step 3). If Code RS0031 is not set, go to next step.
  2. Using scan tool, select RSS DATA and monitor RS D05 (STRG DEM) and RS D06 (STRG FBK). Drive vehicle. See Figure . If data CV parameters are as specified, diagnose power steering system. See STEERING SYSTEM - POWER RACK & PINION article in STEERING section. If data parameters are not as specified, go to NOTES ON INTERMITTENTS  under SELF-DIAGNOSTICS.
  3. Turn ignition off. Disconnect 32-pin RSS control module connector C1 and 24-pin RSS control module connector C2. Check continuity of SSS drive circuit (White wire) at RSS control module harness connector C1 to ground. See WIRING DIAGRAMS  . Also, check continuity of SSS return circuit (Brown wire) at RSS control module harness connector C2 to ground. If continuity exists on either circuit, go to step 6). If continuity does not exist on both circuits, go to next step.
  4. Check RSS control module connectors for corrosion or loose connection. Reconnect RSS control module connectors. Turn ignition on. Clear codes. Using scan tool, select RSS OUTPUTS, and then RS 005 (STRG SOL). Cycle SSS solenoid for 20 seconds. If Code RS0031 is set, go to next step. If Code RS0031 is not set, check for intermittent short to ground in White wire and Brown wire. Clear codes.
  5. Replace RSS control module. Calibrate NEW RSS control module. See CALIBRATING RSS CONTROL MODULE  under ADJUSTMENTS.
  6. Disconnect SSS solenoid valve connector. Check continuity of SSS drive circuit (White wire) at RSS control module harness connector C1 to ground. See WIRING DIAGRAMS  . If continuity exists, repair short to ground in White wire. Clear codes. If continuity does not exist, go to next step.
  7. Check continuity of SSS return circuit (Brown wire) at RSS control module harness connector C2 to ground. See WIRING DIAGRAMS  . If continuity exists, repair short to ground in Brown wire. Clear codes. If continuity does not exist, go to next step.
  8. Check SSS solenoid valve connector for corrosion or loose connection. Reconnect SSS solenoid valve connector. Check continuity of SSS return circuit (Brown wire) at RSS control module harness connector C2 to ground. See WIRING DIAGRAMS  . If continuity exists on either circuit, replace SSS solenoid valve. Clear codes. If continuity does not exist on both circuits, go to next step.
  9. Check RSS control module connectors for corrosion or loose connection. Check for intermittent short to ground in White wire and Brown wire. Clear codes.
