I have this code appearing intermittently on my car. My steering wheel does not make noise when it turns, but my radio went out years ago when this started happening. And it still does not function correctly today. Sometimes very few and far between my cruise control will not operate. Do you think I can repair this by removing and replacing the clock spring or is it usually something else? Thank you, Bob

Welcome to 2CarPros.

Chances are the clock spring isn't the issue, but rather the switch itself is bad. The code is directly related to the automatic speed control device (ASCD) switch on the steering column. What I suggest is to test it to see if that is the problem. Here are the directions related to testing the switch. The attached pictures correlate with the directions. Picture 1 indicates the resistance being checked with each function.

Component Inspection

ASCD STEERING SWITCH
1. Disconnect ASCD steering switch.

2. Check continuity between ASCD steering switch terminals 1 and 2 with pushing each switch.
If NG, replace ASCD steering switch.

Hello,

This Direct Trouble Code (DTC) is a DTC that deals with your steering switch. It goes bad and causes the problems that you have described in your question. I have included for you in the diagrams down below a diagnostic troubleshooting flowchart from your vehicle's manufacturer for this DTC. Please go through it and get back to us with what you find out. You will need to use a multi-meter so I have included a link below for you to go to if your unfamiliar with how to use one:
