Code C0710 Pontiac Description

The Steering Wheel Angle Sensor receives a 12 V reference voltage from the Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM). The Electronic Brake Control Module receives serial data inputs from the Steering Wheel Angle Sensor identifying the position and direction of the steering wheel rotation. The Electronic Brake Control Module utilizes this signal to calculate the driver's intended driving direction. The Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be set when the Steering Wheel Angle Sensor signal is invalid.
