BCM-A030



BCM A030 Communication between Control Modules (The initialized check has not been run)

Condition





The steering wheel angle sensor is initialized when the steering wheel is moved at least within a certain amount of time of the ignition being switched on. Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) BCM-A030 is stored if the steering angle is not initialized after 2 minutes driving at a speed above 10 km/h. The initialization can be run before the ignition is switched off even after Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) BCM-A030 has been stored. The anti spin warning lamp then goes out. Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) BCM-0108 is also stored if the initialization is not completed before the ignition is switched off.

Substitute value
- Active yaw control is blocked.

Possible Source
- The steering wheel angle sensor is uninitiated after two minutes driving above 10 km/h.

Fault symptom[s]
- The anti-spin warning lamp is lit (up to and including 2002 model year)
- General yellow warning lamp lit (from model year 2003 inclusive)
