Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) information

Condition 

Fig 1: Identifying Brake Control Module (BCM) & Steering Wheel Angle Sensor

Courtesy of VOLVO CARS OF NORTH AMERICA.

The control module for the steering angle sensor transmits signals from the steering wheel angle sensor on the Control area network (CAN) from where it is retrieved by the brake control module (BCM). A reference signal is calculated using the signals from the wheel sensors, the yaw rate sensor and the lateral accelerometer. Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) BCM-0106 is stored if the brake control module (BCM) registers that the reference signal is outside its permitted range.

Substitute Value 

• Stability control is blocked
• Active yaw control is blocked
• Traction control is blocked.

Possible Source 

• Incorrect front wheel alignment
• Incorrectly installed steering wheel angle sensor
• Defective steering wheel angle sensor.

Fault symptom[s] 

• The anti-spin warning lamp is lit (up to and including 2002 model year)
• Anti-spin does not function
• The stability control does not function
• The traction control system does not function.
