Signal Specification

General 

All values given below are between the terminals stated in column 1 and breakout box terminal in the control module) and terminal B2 in column 1 (terminal in the Control module) unless otherwise indicated in column 6 (Miscellaneous).

NOTE:

There is no wiring on the Power Steering Control Module (PSCM) for connecting the breakout box. It is therefore important when any measurements are carried out that great care is taken to prevent short-circuits, damage to connectors, etc.

U= DC voltage in volts (V) UAC = AC voltage in volts (V)
Ubat = Battery voltage (V) f = Frequency in Hertz (Hz)
Ulow = Voltage approximately 0 V % duty = Duty cycle (pulse ratio) as a percentage (%)
t = Time in milliseconds (ms) I = Current in Amperes (A)
