XMC 000709.10 – Steering Wheel Position Sensor Channel 2, Fault

XMC 000709.10 (XMC 709.10)

Code: 000709.10

Shortcode: 709.10

Description:

This error code indicates that a speed of over 400 rpm has been registered at channel 2 of the steering wheel position sensor. While the value measured by the XSC control software is within the acceptable range, this anomaly suggests a potential issue with the sensor or its readings.

Reaction:

When this error is detected, the control software will limit or disable certain functions of the control unit to prevent potential malfunctions related to incorrect steering wheel position readings.

Recommendations:

Inspect Sensor Wiring:

  • Check the wiring harness connected to the steering wheel position sensor for any signs of damage, disconnection, or corrosion. Repair or replace any damaged wiring.

Test Sensor Functionality:

  • Use diagnostic tools to test the functionality of the steering wheel position sensor. Ensure it is operating within specified parameters.

Verify Sensor Mounting:

  • Ensure the sensor is securely mounted and properly aligned. Loose or misaligned sensors can give inaccurate readings.

Check for Interference:

  • Ensure there is no electrical interference affecting the sensor. Inspect nearby components for potential sources of interference.

Replace Faulty Sensor:

  • If the sensor itself is determined to be faulty, replace it with a new, manufacturer-approved part.

Consult Technical Support:

  • If the issue persists, consult technical support for further assistance.

Note:

Regular inspection and maintenance of sensors and their wiring are crucial for accurate readings and reliable operation. Addressing issues promptly can prevent further complications.
