DTC C0526-2A: Steering Angle Sensor Module Signal Stuck In Range [08/2019 - ]: Procedure

1. Clear the DTCs.

   Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [08/2019 - ]

2. Turn the ignition switch off.
3. Turn the ignition switch to ON again and check that no CAN communication system DTC is output.

   Refer to DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM [08/2019 - 08/2021] , or refer to DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM [08/2021 - 08/2022] , or refer to DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM [08/2022 - ]

4. Start the engine.
5. Drive the vehicle at a speed of 35 km/h (22 mph) and turn the steering wheel to the right and left to check that no speed sensor or yaw rate and acceleration sensor DTCs are output.

   Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [08/2019 - ]

   HINT: 

   • If there is a malfunction in any of the speed sensors or the yaw rate and acceleration sensor (air bag sensor assembly), an abnormal value may be output although the steering sensor is normal.
   • If speed sensor and yaw rate and acceleration sensor (air bag sensor assembly) DTCs are output simultaneously, repair these two sensors first and inspect the steering sensor.

   Result

   Result	Proceed to
   No CAN communication system, speed sensor, or yaw rate and acceleration sensor DTCs are output	A
   CAN communication system DTC is output	B
   Speed sensor or yaw rate and acceleration sensor DTC is output	C

Result: 

B 

CHECK CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM. Refer to  HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING [08/2019 - ] 

Result: 

C 

REPAIR CIRCUIT INDICATED BY OUTPUT DTC. Refer to  DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART [08/2019 - ] 

Result: 

A 

See step  2

1. Turn the ignition switch off.
2. Remove the steering wheel and the column cover lower.
