1.2 TDI Fabia 2 from 2012: steering angle sensor no communication --> ESC, Servo , Start stop not working

Featured Replies

Hello Everyone,I hope you can help me!


I have a Skoda Fabia II      2012 1.2 TDI
A few days ago, the car reported 3 errors at the same time while driving

  • ESC
  • Start stop
  • servo light (plus a tire pressure light)

The servo works fine, but if I turn the steering wheel a little faster, it seems to not have enough pressure (as expected in limited info mode)
also ABS is working, but ASR and ESC are not. 

The diagnostics report errors (Icarsoft diagnostic tool) :
00778 no signal/communication - steering angle sensor
03022 Electrical fault in circuit - local data bus 4.
I checked fuse number 22 and it is fine.
I changed the steering wheel position sensor, exactly the same error.
When I try to read anything related to the steering wheel angle, the diagnostics report a communication error.

Is SSP i have found short schematic but i am not sure what are fuses marked by blue in the picture 
aslo found only one fuse number 9  blowing up as soon i put it it, but i think it is onot related to this issue  (correct me if i am wrong, also marked in the picture) 
Does anyone have any ideas or advice?

 

just note that i have put new Varta AGM 70Ah battery so battery is not the issue. 
 


Thanks in advance and sorry for longer post!

From May 2012 fuse 9 is listed as the following:

9 - Fuse 9 on fuse holder B -SB9- 5A -

Control unit for cornering light and headlight range control -J745- , Air conditioning system control unit -J301- , Climatronic control unit -J255- , Radiator fan control unit -J293- , Parking aid control unit -J446- , Heater element for left spray jet -Z20- , Heater element for right spray jet -Z21- , Multi-function steering wheel, Steering angle sender -G85

 

So you'll need to find which of those consumers is causing it to blow, fix that and you should be good.

If the car has heated washer jets try unplugging those for starters.

Hello Pete, 
This was fast response, and confirms this fuse is powering steering angle sender.
thank you for suggestion, i will check if it has heated washers (it is for Danish market so it is possible that it has).

just wondering why in vehicle book they did not have same info, there it is written (in Danish, picture attached): 9 Operating controls for the heating, control unit for air conditioning system, parking aid, control unit for cornering lights, radiator fan, washing nozzles .

Thanks again for fast reply and help, now i will work on locating connection points for affected consumers.

Hardcopy manuals struggle to keep up with changes over time.

Windscreen washer nozzles are likely to have local connectors at the individual nozzles, probably easily spotted and disconnected.

Hello again,
I have unplugged both washer heaters, and fitted new 5A fuse and fuse did not burn this time. 
after ignition on no warning lights popped out, all is working well.
Only tire pressure warning is still on, but to reset it I believe I need to do some miles with the car so system can reset itself.

@Breezy_Pete thank you again for providing curtail information and good advice where to start from, hats off!
