Pinpoint Test AZ: SASM (Steering Angle Sensor Module) Communication Concern With The SECM (Steering Effort Control Module)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning and 2023 Ford F-150. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Refer to Vehicle Dynamic Systems for schematic and connector information.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions 

REFER to: Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) and Stability Control - System Operation and Component Description .

With the ignition ON, the SECM sends messages to the SASM over a private CAN. If the SASM does not receive these messages within a certain time frame, the module sets Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). This can be due to a SECM failure, a circuit failure on the CAN network or an excessive load on the network.

DTC Fault Trigger Conditions 

DTC Description Fault Trigger Condition
SASM U0130:00 Lost Communication With Steering Effort Control Module: No Sub Type Information Sets if the SASM detects any of the SECM messages are missing.
SASM U0419:81 Invalid Data Received From Steering Effort Control Module: Invalid Serial Data Received Sets when the SASM receives invalid adaptive front steering startup or shutdown information from the SECM.
