Speed PRO Steering Solenoid Over-Temperature

NOTE: After making any repairs, perform SPEED PROPORTIONAL STEERING SYSTEM VERIFICATION TEST  under VERIFICATION TESTS.
  1. Turn ignition off. Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC). Start engine. Turn steering wheel and observe amount of steering assist. Using scan tool, de-activate Speed Proportional Steering (SPS) solenoid for 15 seconds while turning steering wheel and observing amount of steering assist. If steering power assist is unchanged once SPS solenoid is de-activated, go to next step. If steering has less power assist once SPS solenoid is de-activated, fault may be intermittent. Check related wiring and connectors for poor connections or damage to wiring harness. See WIRING DIAGRAMS  . Repair any problems found as necessary. If no problems are found, check if any Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) apply to vehicle. If no TSBs apply, test is complete.
  2. Turn ignition off. Disconnect SPS solenoid connector. Measure resistance between SPS solenoid terminals (component side). If resistance is 5.7-6.3 ohms at 68°F (20°C), leave SPS solenoid connector disconnected, and go to next step. If resistance is not 5.7-6.3 ohms at 68°F (20°C), replace SPS solenoid.
  3. Check related wiring and connectors for poor connections or damage to wiring harness. See WIRING DIAGRAMS  . Repair any problems found as necessary. If no problems are found, check if any Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) apply to vehicle. If no TSBs apply, replace Body Control Module (BCM).
