The rear wheel steering module provides the current that activates the rear wheel steering motor actuator control circuits. Phase A, Phase B, and Phase C are the input circuits to the steering gear motor assembly. In its active state, the output current is pulse width modulated with up to 85-amps at 12 volts, with a normal range of 20 to 50-amps. When the rear wheel steering control module does not see the rear wheel steering gear motor respond to the current inputs properly the rear wheel steering control module will set a DTC C0538.
