Vehicle Dynamics Control Module Fault

The computer that helps manage vehicle stability and traction is having issues, so it can't properly do its job of keeping your vehicle steady on the road.

The dynamics control module monitors signals related to wheel speed, steering angle, and yaw rate. When it detects an unexpected error—like a voltage spike above 5 volts or a circuit failure—it triggers this code.

Don't just throw parts at it. Walk through these in order — each step tells you whether to keep going or stop and fix what you found.

1. 11. Inspect the wiring and connectors to the vehicle dynamics control module for damage or corrosion. Repair or replace as necessary. Decision: If wiring looks good, proceed to step 2.
2. 22. Check the voltages at the wheel speed sensors. At rest, voltages should be around 0.5 to 2.5 volts. Decision: If voltages are out of range, replace the faulty sensor. If voltages are normal, proceed to step 3.
3. 33. Examine the steering angle sensor. Ensure it reads around 0 degrees when the steering wheel is centered. Decision: If the reading is off, replace the steering angle sensor. If normal, proceed to step 4.
4. 44. Test the vehicle dynamics control module using a scan tool to check for internal faults or errors. If it indicates a fault, replace the module.

• Faulty vehicle dynamics control module
• Wiring issues (shorts or opens) in the control module circuits
• Corroded or loose connectors to the module or sensors
• Faulty wheel speed sensors
• Steering angle sensor out of range or malfunctioning
