Valve position sensor (VPS) error
Check wiring and connectors between the ESTA::ECU (E1003) and ESTA::CVU::VPS (T1002). The battery should be disconnected during measurements. 1. Check CAN cable harness and connectors: - Disconnect harness connectors on both ECU side, and CVU side. - Measure the resistance in the cable between pins E1003::A8 and T1002::A. It should be approximately 0 ohm (no interruption or bad connection). - Measure the resistance in the cable between pins E1003::A2 and T1002::B. It should be approximately 0 ohm (no interruption or bad connection). - Measure the resistance in the cable between pins E1003::A12 and T1002::C. It should be approximately 0 ohm (no interruption or bad connection). - Measure the resistance in the cable between each single wire. It should be infinite (no short circuit). - Visually inspect the isolation along the entire cable length, for abrasion damage that could lead to a short circuit against fram or similar. 2. Visually inspect the VPS connector housing. - If cracked och corroded, replace connector housing. 3. If cable harness and connectors are verified OK, and fault remains, replace VPS (T1002) sensor. To invalidate error: 1. Turn the ignition key to OFF, and wait for 10 seconds. 2. Apply Parking brake. 3. Make sure the tag axle wheels are free to steer (e.g. vehicle should not be on a lift) 4. Turn the ignition key to ON. 5. Diagnostic SelfTest is now executed. 6. After approximately 60 second system should return to normal operation. - Faultcodes should be passive.
What you'll see
No driver-visible symptom recorded.
System reaction
Red Steer tag axle fault warn ESTA in released or fixed mode
Diagnostic depth
ValvePositionSensor error. The position reported from ValvePositionSensor (VPS) is not correct. Diagnostic SelfTest indicates that the VPS is not working.
Defect cable harness: - Open Circuit on sensor ground - Short circuit to supply voltage Defect connectors on VPS Defect connectors on ESTA ECU Defect sensor on VPS
