What it means

The steering or chassis system (steering angle sensor, electric power steering, suspension, brakes) found a fault.

What you may notice

  • Warning light on
  • Steering may be heavy
  • ESP may be switched off

What could be wrong

  1. 1Steering angle sensor needs calibration · Sensor replacement €80–160
  2. 2Low battery voltage · Battery replacement €120–220
  3. 3Sensor or wiring · Sensor replacement €80–160
  4. 4Power steering unit or module · Control unit check and software €150–300

Repair difficulty: Moderate

What you can check yourself

If the steering is heavy, drive carefully. After tyre or alignment work the steering angle sensor often needs recalibrating. Best left to a workshop. It needs a diagnostic tool and experience.

How we fix it

  1. We read the codes and calibrate the sensor
  2. We check supply and wiring
  3. We replace the sensor or repair the steering unit
