The Steering Column Control Module (SCCM) continuously monitors the voltage supplied to the steering wheel rotation sensor (also known as the steering wheel position sensor). If voltage outside of defined limits is detected by the SCCM, the applicable DTC sets.
- DTC C0051:16 (Steering Wheel Position Sensor: Circuit Voltage Below Threshold) - If the SCCM detects voltage to the steering wheel rotation sensor below 10 volts this DTC sets.
- DTC C0051:17 (Steering Wheel Position Sensor: Circuit Voltage Above Threshold) - If the SCCM detects voltage to the steering wheel rotation sensor above 15.5 volts this DTC sets.
This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:
