CUSTOMER STATES
- There are cracking or creaking noises when steering that come from the front end near the steering column, intermediate steering shaft, steering rack, and/or the steering wheel.
TECHNICAL BACKGROUND
Noises from dynamic steering actuator due to tolerances.
PRODUCTION SOLUTION
Under development.
SERVICE
To narrow down the source of the noise, proceed as follows:
- Remove the fuse for the dynamic steering, J792 (address word 001B). This disables the actuator.
- If the noises now no longer occur when steering, the dynamic steering actuator is the cause of the noises that were heard previously.
- If the noises persist, continue investigating other components of the steering system outside of this TSB.
