What Does the U0428 Lincoln Code Mean?

The Steering Angle Sensor Module (SASM) broadcasts the absolute steering angle value to the Power Steering Control Module (PSCM) over the HS-CAN at predefined intervals during every drive cycle from the first ignition ON status. During normal operation the absolute steering angle from the SASM is compared against a steering angle derived from the rear wheel speed values broadcast by the ABS module over the HS-CAN and an angle derived from the EPAS motor position. If the absolute steering angle values and the derived steering angles do not match, the EPAS system is set to a default level of assistance. The invalid data Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be set when a receiving device detects a discrepancy in the information it receives from the Steering Angle Sensor Module causing its integrity to be questioned.
