DTC 27-11: Steering Angle Sensor DIAG Signal Error (Initial): DTC 27-26: Steering Angle Sensor DIAG Signal Error (Main)
- Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
- Clear the DTC with the HDS.
- Turn the ignition switch OFF, then turn it ON (II) again.
- Check for DTCs with the HDS.
Is DTC 27-11, or 27-26 indicated?
YES -Go to step 5.
NO -Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for loose terminals between the steering angle sensor 5P connector and the VSA modulator-control unit 37P connector. Refer to intermittent failures troubleshooting (see DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) ).
- Turn the ignition switch OFF.
- Disconnect the steering angle sensor 5P connector.
- Disconnect the VSA modulator-control unit 37P connector.
- Check for continuity between steering angle sensor 5P connector terminal No. 3 and body ground.Fig 1: Checking Continuity Between Steering Angle Sensor 5P Connector Terminal No. 3 And Body Ground

Is there continuity?
YES -Repair short to body ground in the wire between the steering angle sensor and the VSA modulator-control unit.
NO -Go to step 9.
- Check for continuity between the VSA modulator-control unit 37P connector terminal and the steering angle sensor 5P connector terminal individually.VSA MODULATOR-CONTROL UNIT REFERENCE

Is there continuity?
YES -Go to step 10.
NO -Repair open in the wire between the steering angle sensor and the VSA modulator-control unit.
- Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
- Measure voltage between steering angle sensor 5P connector terminal No. 3 and body ground.
