Causes

  • Open, shorted or damaged wiring between the sensor and control module (CAN/LIN or analog lines).
  • Poor or corroded connector contacts at the sensor or control module.
  • Failed steering wheel angle sensor (internal electronics or connector).
  • Faulty ABS/ESP or gateway module that reads the sensor data.
  • CAN/LIN bus fault (missing terminator, short to battery/ground, high bus error rate).
  • Blown fuse or lost power/ground to the sensor or related module.

Symptoms

  • ESP/ABS/traction control warning lights illuminated.
  • Steering angle or stability-related messages on the instrument cluster.
  • Loss or malfunction of stability control, traction control or adaptive cruise related features.
  • Cruise control may be disabled or behave erratically.
  • Steering angle reading on diagnostic tool is missing, fixed at zero or erratic.
  • Possible steering calibration or alignment warnings; some driver aids unavailable.

What to check

  • Scan vehicle with an OBD-II / manufacturer diagnostic tool. Read U1305 and any related codes or bus errors.
  • Check for other module communication codes (U0121, U0155, etc.) to identify a bus-wide problem.
  • Visually inspect sensor connector and wiring at the steering column for damage, corrosion, pin push-out.
  • Verify sensor power and ground at the connector with key on (see signal parameters).
  • Measure CAN/LIN bus voltages at the sensor connector and at nearby modules; check for correct idle voltages and termination.
  • Perform continuity checks from sensor connector pins back to the relevant control module(s) with ignition off.

Signal parameters

  • Power supply: typically 5 V reference (±0.5 V) or fused ignition supply — confirm with manufacturer wiring diagram.
  • Ground: good chassis ground continuity and
  • Analog sensor types: two sinusoidal outputs (sine/cosine) that vary approx. 0.5–4.5 V across wheel travel (exact values vary by model).
  • Digital/CAN type: no direct analog output — data appears on CAN bus. Idle CAN voltages typically ~2.5 V; dominant bits pull CAN_H toward ~3.5 V and CAN_L toward ~1.5 V.
  • LIN bus (if used): idle ~12 V or defined LIN levels depending on network — check manufacturer spec.
  • Resistance: internal sensor winding/resistance varies by design; use service data for exact Ohms before replacement.

Diagnostic algorithm

  1. Record all DTCs and freeze frame data with a capable scan tool. Note conditions (ignition state, wheel position).
  2. Attempt to read live steering angle sensor data. If no data, confirm the sensor is present in the network map.
  3. Inspect connector and wiring at the steering column for physical damage, corrosion or loose pins. Repair any visible faults.
  4. With ignition on, measure sensor supply voltage and ground at the sensor connector. Compare to manufacturer spec.
  5. If analog sensor: probe signal lines while slowly turning the steering wheel and observe voltage change. If digital: monitor CAN frames and error counters for the sensor node.
  6. Check CAN/LIN bus integrity: measure CAN_H and CAN_L voltages at multiple points, check for proper termination and for any short to battery/ground.
  7. Perform continuity/resistance checks from sensor pins to the related control module connector. Repair wiring faults found.
  8. If wiring and power/ground are good but no communication, swap/replace the steering angle sensor with a known-good unit (or use an appropriate bench test) and test.
  9. If new sensor or wiring repaired, perform manufacturer-required sensor calibration/relearn and clear codes. Re-test vehicle functions.
  10. If problem persists and network issues remain, consider diagnosing or replacing the gateway/ABS/ESP module per service procedures and consult manufacturer technical bulletins.

Likely causes

  • Corroded or loose sensor connector or wiring at the steering column.
  • Broken wiring harness (pinched at column, under-dash, or during steering work).
  • Failed steering wheel angle sensor.
  • CAN bus wiring fault or high bus error rate preventing data frames.
  • Faulty control module (less common) or missing module wake-up.

Fault status

⚠️ Status
