hmm.........there is simply not enough information provided to answer this question. Please post-up a copy of the SCAN report so we can see what errors are reported on this car. Once we understand what problem we are trying to fix - perhaps a dialogue can be had about how to proceed!

I would like to post a copy of my scan report if I good find some instructions on how to do it can you guide me to any information on how to post it?

Also I need to ask which scan should I send when this steering stopped working and I scanned it I didn't then realize that the steering rack had become unplugged ,afterwards when I plugged it back in and scanned it and tryed to recalibrate it ,then a lot of other faults showed up, so do you want the first scan ,the last scan or something else?

I posted a copy of my scan report to your website because the forum website address was invalid that's the best I can do with no instructions.

I posted a copy of my scan report to your website because the forum website address was invalid that's the best I can do with no instructions. Michael: There ain't anything even remotely resembling "your [my] website" on this forum - most moderators in this place are just ordinary forum members (like you) with absolutely no connection to the deities on the OBD11 mother-ship!
So, my colleagues and I are volunteers. We are ALL eager to help where we can - but as unaffiliated forum voices, each with our own independent views (which on a few rare occasions have been critical of the forum sponsors)!!
OK, as for your request - the first part of the task is to digitize the SCAN information into a form that can be attached to a forum post. To do this - do the following:
I will assume that you are using iOS version software and I also assume that you have already created the SCAN report. If so, a copy of your SCAN will be stored against your account on the remote servers at OBD11 HQ in Lithuania.
- Fire-up OBD11 software - no need to plug-in the OBD11 dongle, or to connect to the car.
- On the Home screen, select Garage (it's on the lower left side of the screen)
- If you have registered multiple cars against your account - select the correct vehicle
- On the car information screen, select History
- Follow the screenshots below:
Once you receive the email that you sent to yourself in the last screenshot above - copy and paste the contents into a new post (as an attachment, if possible)
Don
PS: if you are using Android version software - do this:

Thanks for your response, explanation and patience I obviously don't know what I'm doing. I sent the file to support at obd11 since I had no idea I want to send it. I'll try to find some one to help me find out how to copy and paste to a post since I have no idea how to do it myself, thanks for your help.

michael: hmm......... the SCAN reports are saying that the steering module is faulty (internal malfunction). Exactly what work has been done on this car on or around 2023-08-23 and why was this done? Does the Steering Assistance module have a long-code value that is not zero?

Thanks for your response, on that date after scanning I looked under the car and found the steering rack plug was hanging loose after plugging it back in I tried doing the calibrations numerous times but nothing seem to work except for temporarily getting the hearing angle to go back to zero from the era of 3257 degrees. It became unplugged while I was driving it and the steering went out, I'm wondering if I made mistake trying to recalibrate it?

Clear ALL faults - then SCAN again. Try re-calibrating the steering angle in the Brake module

Post by michaelr on Sept 12, 2023 6:14:40 GMT
Thanks for the suggestions. I checked the steering angle long code right now it is 0002 looks like it was changed on 9/6/23 from 9102 I'm not sure how that happens should I try to change it back? I could not clear 4 faults, B200FFO,B116816, and two others I can't find right now. I can't find any way to do the steering calibration in the brake module ,I see no settings for the steering angle sensor, I tried the g85 calibration but that still won't work.

hmm..........OK, so there has been coding changes made to this car (long-code doesn't change by itself- it must have been altered deliberately for some reason).
As for your words "I could not clear 4 faults, B200FFO,B116816, and two others I can't find right now" - my understanding of your situation is totally (meaning "utterly") dependent on the effort that you are prepared to make to sharing information.
It really doesn't matter to me - but without access to the new SCAN report and the latest fault records, I have no basis to make comment - and it's not helpful if I start guessing what's happened

thanks for your response here is my latest scan. |

Post by dv52 (Australia) on Sept 13, 2023 22:29:56 GMT
Arrhh........... that's better!! So, it's concerning that your latest SCAN is still reporting an internal fault in the steering module. This fault first appears on your SCAN dated 2023-08-24 16:40. and the internal error was first registered on the module on 2023-08-23 10:54. This error keeps being reported on EVERY scan thereafter - which is not good!! You say that the long-code change on the steering module happened "on 9/6/23" -so this is about 12 mths before the internal module fault and the earlier SCANs in your attachments don't report an error before the dates in my first sentence. So, I'm not sure about the validity of the current long-code string on this module - but it doesn't appear to have caused the faulty module error!

Thanks for your response. It appears to me that after reconnecting the plug on my steering rack, the main faults are B116854 no basic settings,in 03 brakes and B 1168f2 no initialization in steering assistance. Is there a way to reset these settings are a procedure to determine if the control module is actually faulty and I need to replace the steering rack?

Post by dv52 (Australia) on Sept 14, 2023 22:04:52 GMT
oops- my analysis in my last post was incorrect! Of course the change in the long-code string happened AFTER the fault in the module was first recorded. However, your SCANs BEFORE the change date (and after 2023-08-24) were still showing the internal module error! So my general reply above still stands You could try restoring the original long-code string on the module before attempting the BASIC SETTING procedure. Read HERE

Thanks for your suggestions. I looked at the instructions for a long codeing but I have no faith in my ability to do it without making mistakes. Looks like I change the code in the steering assistance info system, where there are options to click on different changes that then change the code that's where the 0002 code came from though I haven't been able to find the 91 02 number that showing is the old value. Previously you mentioned something about it needing to end in 00 ?. In another post I found the procedure for testing the control modules which I can do but it says I should check the factory repair manual before running output test in order to know what to expect, do you know how I can access that information?

Michaeir: hmm......... THIS is how to change long-code with OBD1.
Where did I say "Previously you mentioned something about it needing to end in 00"? The ending of a long code string is entirely dependent on the way the car is built. If you have a change record in History that says "old value"=9102, then it means that this WAS the original setting (change records don't lie).
This steering module has a module with 2 x Bytes in its long-code. Your change record is saying that Byte 0 has been altered from 91 to 00 (Byte 1 has remained unchanged).
To set Byte 0 back to 91 - these are the Bit values: - Bit 0 = tick
- Bit 1 = no tick
- Bit 2 = no tick
- Bit 3 = no tick
- Bit 4 = tick
- Bit 5 = no tick
- Bit 6 = no tick
- Bit 7 = tick

Thanks for the advice, when I tried entering values in long codeing, and steering assistance and entering the values you suggested ticking bit zero got me 0102, but if I continue and enter a bit 4 and bit 7 ,I end up with 0909 or 4949. So I don't understand how to change the first digit back to 9. I have been searching for any clear instructions but not able to find anything that explains the process clearly and simply. Do you have any more suggestions?

Good news on the coding I finally got it to work after many attempts. Now I can get back to my original challenge with the steering control module. Thanks for your advice.
