This guide demonstrates the effective use of Launch SmartLink B and SmartLink C diagnostic tools to eliminate error codes following steering gear replacement on a 2018 Maserati vehicle.
Step-by-Step Process:
Begin by establishing connection with your diagnostic interface and launching SmartLink B. The system will perform automatic vehicle identification. Select ‘Continue’ to initiate the advanced diagnostic platform’s comprehensive scan across all electronic control modules.
After completing the full-system diagnostic sweep, navigate directly to the Electronic Power Steering (EPS) system module.
Since the steering assembly has been replaced, direct access to the corresponding control module is required. At this stage, you can examine any stored Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). Typically, without proper calibration procedures, two error codes will be present—one indicating component mismatch and another related to steering angle sensor discrepancy.
These fault codes can be systematically eliminated through specialized programming sequences and component matching protocols.
Following this methodology, the problem is fully resolved using Launch SmartLink C and Launch SmartLink B systems, as confirmed by the successful completion with zero active fault codes remaining.
