Diagnostic trouble code information

Condition

One circuit measures the steering wheel angle and the other measures steering wheel revolutions. If the control unit registers that the signal for any of the steering wheel angle signals A, B, IX, IY, R1, R2, R3 or R4 is too high, diagnostic trouble code SAS-0004, 0006, 0007, 0008, 0010, 0012, 0014, 0016 or 0018 is set, depending on the steering wheel angle signal.
