Speed Proportional Steering Solenoid Over-Temperature

NAME OF CODE
Speed Proportional Steering Solenoid Over-Temperature

WHEN MONITORED
With ignition on

SET CONDITION
BCM detects an over temperature condition on its speed proportional output driver.

THEORY OF OPERATION
The BCM's Field Effect Transistor (FET) that drives the speed proportional solenoid is self-protected from over temperature conditions. If the FET shuts itself off for this reason, the fault will be set.

PROBABLE CAUSES
- Wiring short to ground
- Speed proportional steering solenoid failure
- BCM failure
