What does this fault code mean?
Steering wheel angle signal R2 reads too low. The fault is intermittent, so it may have occurred once without being active now. It may stem from poor connections or wiring to the sensor, or from the sensor element.
Possible causes
- Poor contact or oxidation in connections and connectors
- Open circuit in the wiring
- Short circuit to ground
- Defective sensor element
What you can do
- 1Clear the code and road test the car to see whether it returns
- 2Check that the connectors at the steering wheel angle sensor are tight and clean
- 3Look along the wiring from the sensor for breaks, chafing and pinched sections
- 4With diagnostic equipment, follow the R2 signal in live data while turning the wheel and see whether the value stays low or jumps in certain positions
- 5Stability control stays off while the fault is present, so have a workshop repair it promptly if it returns
