XMC 522845.18 – Steering Control Valve, Current Too Low
XMC 522845.18 (XMC )
Code: 522845.18
Shortcode:
Description:
This error code indicates that the current in the return line of the steering control valve (steer right) is too low. Such a low current suggests a short to ground, which can impair the valve’s ability to function properly.
Reaction:
When this error is detected, the control software will limit or disable certain functions to prevent potential malfunctions related to the low current.
Recommendations:
Inspect Electrical Connections:
- Check the electrical connections to the steering control valve for any signs of damage, loose connections, or corrosion. Repair or replace any damaged wiring.
Test Current Levels:
- Use diagnostic tools to measure the current in the return line of the steering control valve. Ensure it is within the specified range.
Check for Ground Shorts:
- Inspect the wiring for any signs of a short to ground. This includes checking for any exposed wires that may be touching grounded metal surfaces.
Replace Faulty Components:
- If a specific component, such as the valve or its wiring, is identified as faulty, replace it with a new, manufacturer-approved part.
Consult Technical Support:
- If the issue persists, consult technical support for further assistance.
Note:
Maintaining the electrical integrity of the steering control valve and its connections is crucial for reliable vehicle operation. Regular inspection and maintenance can prevent low current-related issues from affecting system performance.
