FLIGHT 4085 WAS STARTING THE TAKEOFF ROLL WHEN THE CREW RECEIVED A NOSE WHEEL STEERING FAIL MESSAGE.  THE CREW ABORTED TAKEOFF.  MAINTENANCE INSPECTED AND CLEANED THE NOSE WHEEL STEERING PACK CANNON PLUGS, INSPECTED THE HARNESSES,  AND PERFORMED EXTENSIVE TAXI RUNS IN ACCORDANCE WITH DORNIER MAINTENANCE MANUAL 32-51-00.  OPERATIONAL CHECKS WERE PERFORMED AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS RELEASED FOR SERVICE.
