Steering Wheel Sensor Test

The fourth item on the menu the EVO control module will output to the Star Tester is DTC 32. This represents asking the service technician whether he/she would like to "Perform steering wheel sensor test?". If the service technician releases the HOLD/TEST button for one second then latches the HOLD/TEST button down again within eight seconds after receiving DTC 32, the EVO control module will enter this test. Once this test has been entered and with vehicle speed = 0, the control module will wait 30 seconds for the service technician to rotate the steering wheel at least 40° in one direction only. If the steering wheel rotation is not detected within this time, the control module will store DTC 33 in memory and complete this test by outputting DTC 33 to the Star Tester which represents "Steering wheel rotation not detected". If the steering wheel sensor hardware is operating properly, the control module will complete this test by outputting DTC 26 to the Star Tester which means "Test passed." If DTC 33 is received, go to DTC 33.
