PINPOINT TEST H: DTCs C1278, C1956, C1963 AND C1975

NOTE: Use the Flex Probe Kit for all test connections to prevent damage to the wiring terminals. Do not use standard multi-meter probes.
NOTE: Over tightening of the steering wheel rotation sensor fasteners may deform or damage the sensor housing, possibly resulting in faulty operation.
NOTE: Make sure that the steering wheel rotation sensor is mounted securely to the column with 2 fasteners. A loose sensor or missing fastener may result in incorrect sensor operation. Make sure that the sensor connector is mated securely to the harness connector. Before proceeding with electrical testing, make sure that the vehicle battery is fully charged.
  1. H1 MONITOR THE STEERING WHEEL ANGLE (SWA) PID 
    • Connect the scan tool.

      For all other DTCs, GO to the ABS MODULE DTC CHART .

    • No  : The condition is not present at this time. INSPECT the rotation sensor and the slotted-wheel for cracks, looseness and foreign material. REPAIR or INSTALL new as necessary. CLEAR the DTCs. CYCLE the ignition key. REPEAT the self test. If DTCs C1963 and/or C1975 return, Go To PINPOINT TEST I .
  3. H3 CHECK THE STEERING WHEEL ROTATION SENSOR CONDITION AND INSTALLATION

    • Are the sensor and toothed-wheel installed correctly and undamaged? 
    • Yes  : GO to H4.
    • No  : REINSTALL or INSTALL new as necessary. CARRY OUT the IVD Initialization Procedure, FOLLOW the scan tool directions. CLEAR the DTCs. CYCLE the ignition key. REPEAT the self test. If DTCs C1963 and/or C1975 return, Go To PINPOINT TEST I .
  4. H4 CHECK FOR VOLTAGE AT THE STEERING WHEEL ROTATION SENSOR 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect: Steering Wheel Rotation Sensor C226.
    • Ignition ON.
    • Measure the voltage between steering wheel rotation sensor C226-4, circuit CBP35 (YE/GY), harness side and ground.

    • Is the voltage greater than 10 volts? 
    • Yes  : GO to H5.
    • No  : VERIFY SJB  fuse 35 (10A) is OK. If OK, REPAIR circuit CBP35 (YE/GY). CLEAR the DTCs. CYCLE the ignition key. REPEAT the self-test.

      If not OK, REFER to the appropriate Systems Wiring Diagram to identify possible causes of the circuit short. CLEAR the DTCs. CYCLE the ignition key. REPEAT the self-test.

  5. H5 CHECK CIRCUIT RCA09 (GN/VT) FOR AN OPEN 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Disconnect: ABS Module C135.
    • Measure the resistance between steering wheel rotation sensor C226-1, circuit RCA09 (GN/VT), harness side and ABS module C135-12, circuit RCA09 (GN/VT), harness side.

    • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms? 
    • Yes  : GO to H6.
    • No  : REPAIR circuit RCA09 (GN/VT). CLEAR the DTCs. CYCLE the ignition key. REPEAT the self-test.
  6. H6 CHECK CIRCUITS VCS06 (GY/BN) AND VCS07 (VT/OG) FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE 
    • Ignition ON.
    • Measure the voltage between ground and:
      • steering wheel rotation sensor C226-3, circuit VCS07 (VT/OG), harness side.
      • steering wheel rotation sensor C226-2, circuit VCS06 (GY/BN), harness side.

    • Is any voltage present? 
    • Yes  : REPAIR the affected circuit(s). CLEAR the DTCs. CYCLE the ignition key. REPEAT the self-test.
    • No  : GO to H7.
  7. H7 CHECK CIRCUITS VCS06 (GY/BN) AND VCS07 (VT/OG) FOR A SHORT TO GROUND 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Measure the resistance between ground and:
