SAS-0026 - LED group 2 circuit. Signal too high
System
Steering Angle Sensor (SAS)
Volvo models this fault code applies to
Applies to the following models:
5 modelsS60 (2001–2009), S80 (1999–2006), V70 (2000–2008), V70 XC / XC70 (2001–2007), XC90 (2003–)
What does this fault code mean?
The current through LED group 2 in the sensor is too high. Possible causes are poor contact, a short to supply voltage in the LED circuit, defective LEDs in the group, or a defective control module.
Possible causes
- Contact resistance or oxidation at connections and connectors
- Short circuit to voltage in the LED circuit
- LED 5-8 defective in the sensor
- Defective control module
What you can do
- 1Read and note the code, clear it and road test to see whether it returns
- 2Check the connectors at the sensor control module and the steering wheel module for oxide and contact resistance
- 3With diagnostic equipment, if the current reads normal once the connectors are clean and firmly seated, poor contact or oxide was the cause
- 4If no wiring fault is found, a workshop may need to replace the steering wheel angle sensor
- 5Stability control is off while the fault is present, so have a workshop repair it promptly
Symptoms you may notice3
- Anti-spin warning lamp is on
- Stabilising function absent
- Anti-spin does not work
What the fault can affect2
