Power Steering Position Sensor Performance
The chassis or power steering control module has detected that the steering position signal is implausible compared to vehicle motion. Stability control may be limited because correct yaw and slip-angle calculation depends on a valid steering angle.
Affected components
- Steering angle sensor
- Power steering module
- Chassis control module
Common causes
- High likelihood: Steering angle sensor not calibrated after alignment or repair
- Medium likelihood: Steering angle sensor failed
- Low likelihood: Signal path through clock spring degraded
Possible symptoms
- ABS warning light on
- ESC/stability control deactivated
- Possible reduced brake assist
- Speedometer may behave erratically
