obd2 code c1219?

[newwh]

While driving last week the "service electrical brake system" warning came on.
And stayed on. Car drives perfect, not a thing wrong, just the service warning and orange traction light on the right. After hooking up the code reader it read "c1219 steering angle sensor erratic performance", among other stored codes. So i erased all codes, reset the whole thing, and checked again. All codes cleared....except for the one code. "c1219 steering angle sensor erratic performance". I then thought maybe a loose plug?, so after abit of research on this forum (awesome place for info!!!) pulled the airbag off, steering wheel and had a look. All plugs fine and tight. Ive checked the wiring harness the best i can and cant see any rub marks or wear anywhere. Every single fuse has been checked, all good...any suggestions? Im leaning towards a new clockspring but is there any way to test them to be sure, they"re not exactly cheap or easy to find. any help would be greatly appreciated, cheers

Hey newh,

Have you got an OEM manual
There are several specific tests to perform
All up there are 11 separate tests (p618 )

For example;
Check voltage to module
Check ground to module
Check the resistance on CAN bus
Check voltage on CAN bus
Check Anti-Lock Brake Module wiring

Cheers

Probably the clockspring. $980 is the cheapest I found in Aus.

Hey renovator,
A manual is definitely something i"m looking for now, was always going to get one but never got around to, nothing has gone wrong with it to remind me untill now (touch wood), those testing points you mentioned are pretty much what im looking for exactly. Was going to see if i can download that information somwhere/how to start with.
Clarky im 99% sure its a replace the clockspring thing, but between $900 to $1000 for a new one, just trying to be 100% haha, maybe im grasping at straws

Got the manual, did the tests, need a clockspring Wouldnt happen to know offhand the exact part number for the clockspring by any chance? There seems to be....alot. Would one from the U.S be the same thing or is it a AUS specific thing i need to get? cheers

Sorry clarky, part numbers right there in your link Cant beat that price in aus, sussing out usa, i'm guessing from what i'm reading its doesn't matter whether lhd or rhd? Seems abit of a longer wait helps the back pocket abit, unless someone knows something i'm missing lol

[Clarky]

same for LHD and RHD
