U0328Software Incompatibility With Steering Angle Sensor Module
- Generic OBD-II code · Network
- Can trigger limp mode
- How the car detects it
- The steering angle sensor module reports wheel angle and turning speed over CAN, mainly to stability control and electric power steering. U0328 means a receiving module rejects the software or variant of this sensor. No manufacturer documents U0328 publicly. GM shows how tight the pairing is: on 2012–2013 cars with NJ1 steering, among them Volt, Malibu and Equinox, a wrongly performed sensor alignment set C0544 and U0415 that would not clear, lit the MIL and cut assist; only flashing the steering module with different software removed it (PI0800A). Audi fixed an intermittent low-voltage code B116816 for the angle sensor in the ABS unit of the 2015 A3 with new J500 software and a fresh sensor calibration (2040449). U0126 is lost contact, U0428 invalid data, U0320 concerns the steering module. ESC and lane assist may switch off.
- What you may notice
- ESC, traction control or lane assist warning lamps on
- Steering assist uneven or the car pulls after alignment work
- Code appears after wheel alignment or steering column repair
- Likely causes
- LikelySteering angle sensor or column part replaced without calibration or setup
- PossibleSensor of another part number or software variant fitted
- PossibleBrake or steering module software does not support the fitted sensor
