The Steering Angle Sensor has 12 volts of reference from the EBCM (Electronic Brake Control Module), which in turn forms the Controller Area Network (CAN) and receives multiple message inputs from the Steering Angle Sensor. With these inputs or electrical signals, the module can identify the position and direction of rotation of the vehicle. The signal from this sensor is used by the EBCM to calculate the driver’s intended driving direction.
When the C0710 OBDII fault code is set, it is because a malfunction of the Steering Angle Sensor has been detected. The reason for this failure in the voltages sent by this sensor is not within the parameters set by the manufacturer.
