DTC Descriptors
DTC C0710 00
- Steering Position Signal Malfunction
DTC C0710 42
- Steering Position Signal Calibration Not Programmed
DTC C0710 5A
- Steering Position Signal Not Plausible
DTC C0710 71
- Steering Position Signal Invalid Data
Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The steering angle sensor receives power supply voltage from the electronic brake control module (EBCM). The EBCM receives high speed controller area network (CAN) message inputs from the steering angle sensor identifying the position and direction of the steering wheel rotation. The EBCM utilizes this signal to calculate the driver intended driving direction.
Conditions for Running the DTC
Ignition ON.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
C0710 00
The steering angle sensor signal is invalid.
C0710 42
The steering angle sensor is not calibrated.
C0710 5A
* The steering angle sensor signal is out of specified range.
* The steering angle sensor offset is out of specified range.
C0710 71
The steering angle sensor signal is not plausible with the yaw rate sensor signal and lateral acceleration sensor signal.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
* The EBCM disables the ABS/traction control system/electronic stability program (ESP) for the duration of the ignition cycle.
* The ABS indicator turns ON.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
* A current DTC clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.
* The EBCM will turn OFF the indicator in the next ignition cycle.
* The history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive fault-free drive cycles have occurred.
Diagnostic Aids
The car should not pull in either direction causing the steering wheel to be OFF center while driving in a straight line on a level surface.

Circuit/System Verification
Ignition ON, observe the scan tool Steering Wheel Position parameter. As the steering wheel is turned, the reading should travel between -780° and +780°.
Circuit/System Testing
1. Ignition ON, verify that DTC C0710 42 or C0710 5A is not set.
• If either DTC is set, refer to Steering Angle Sensor Centering Procedures.
2. Inspect the steering wheel angle sensor for correct installation.
• If loose or incorrect installation is diagnosed, correct the installation of the component.
3. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the steering wheel angle sensor.
4. Test for less than 10 ohms between the ground circuit terminal 6 and ground.
• If greater than the specified value, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
5. Ignition ON, test for greater than 11 V between the ignition circuit terminal 5 and ground.
• If less than the specified range, test the ignition circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the electronic brake control module.
6. If all circuits test normal, replace the steering wheel angle sensor and verify the DTC does not reset.
• If the DTC resets, replace the electronic brake control module.
