Circuit Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 GMC Sierra, 2002 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2002 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2002 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The rear wheel steering module monitors the input signal of the rear wheel position sensor and the hall sensor circuits. The rear wheel steering module tracks the signals sent by the rear wheel position sensor and the hall sensor circuits, phase A, phase B, and phase C. If any one of the hall sensor circuits are open, shorted to voltage or shorted to ground while the rear steering motor is tracking the rear wheel position sensor, an invalid motor position will occur, thus setting the DTC.
If the rear wheel position sensor signals have invalid values the rear wheel steering control module will not be able to track the position of the rear wheel position sensor, causing an invalid motor position, thus setting the DTC.
