Normal Operation and Fault Conditions

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Lincoln Continental, 2019 Lincoln Continental, and 2018 Lincoln Continental. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The PSCM calculates steering wheel rotation speed, angle and direction of rotation and sends the information to the ABS module over the HS-CAN 2. A failure of the HS-CAN 2, the PSCM or the internal sensors causes the ABS to set one or more DTCs. 

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions 

The steering angle sensor inside the SASM monitors steering wheel rotation speed, angle and direction of rotation and sends the information to the SCCM over a private CAN which relays the information to the ABS module over the HS-CAN 2. A failure of the HS-CAN 2, the SCCM, the SASM or the internal sensors causes the ABS to set one or more DTCs. 

PPT AJ ABS MODULE DTC FAULT TRIGGER CONDITIONS

DTC Description Fault Trigger Conditions
C0051:62 Steering Wheel Position Sensor: Signal Compare Failure Sets when the ABS module detects the difference between the steering wheel angle signal and the calculated reference signal is too high.
C0051:64 Steering Wheel Position Sensor: Signal Plausibility Failure Sets when the ABS module detects the difference between the steering wheel angle signal and the calculated reference signal is too high or if the steering wheel angle sensor does not match other stability control sensor inputs (yaw rate, lateral acceleration, longitudinal acceleration, roll rate).
C0051:67 Steering Wheel Position Sensor: Signal Incorrect After Event Sets when the ABS module detects the center position of the steering wheel cannot be determined after 30 seconds of driving at a speed between 12 km/h (7 mph) and 50 km/h (31 mph).
C0051:85 Steering Wheel Position Sensor: Signal Above Allowable Range Sets when the ABS module detects the absolute value of the calculated steering wheel angle is greater than a predetermined threshold.
