Steering Angle Sensor: A device that measures the position of the steering wheel.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC): A system that helps prevent skidding and loss of control.
• C0569
• C0570
This code means that the car's computer has detected a problem with the steering system. It's like when your video game controller isn't working right, and you can't turn your character properly.
C0568 indicates an issue with the steering angle sensor, which helps the car's computer understand how the steering wheel is positioned.
The C0568 code is triggered when the vehicle's control module detects an error in the steering angle sensor. This sensor is crucial for systems like Electronic Stability Control (ESC) to function correctly, as it informs the system about the steering wheel's position and rate of turn.
• Use an OBD-II scanner to confirm the C0568 code.
• Inspect the steering angle sensor and its connections for damage or corrosion.
• Test the wiring and connectors for continuity and proper voltage.
• Replace the faulty steering angle sensor.
• Repair or replace damaged wiring or connectors.
• Clear the code and test drive the vehicle to ensure the issue is resolved.
• OBD-II scanner
• Multimeter
• Screwdriver set

• Regularly inspect and maintain the steering system.
• Ensure all electrical connections are clean and secure.
• Avoid harsh driving conditions that may stress the steering components.
Sensor Issue
• Have the steering system inspected by a professional if you notice unusual behavior.
• Do not ignore warning lights related to the steering or stability systems.
Check if the steering components are covered under the manufacturer's warranty, especially if the vehicle is relatively new.
The C0568 code has been associated with steering angle sensor issues in vehicles equipped with advanced stability control systems.
Moderate – While the vehicle may still be drivable, the stability control system may not function properly, which can affect safety.
Driving with a malfunctioning steering system can be dangerous. It is important to address this issue promptly to ensure vehicle safety.
• Vehicle must be on a flat, stable surface.
• Ensure the steering wheel is centered before testing.
The steering angle sensor is typically located near the steering column, behind the steering wheel.
Q: Can I drive with a C0568 code?
A: While you can drive, it's not recommended as the stability control system may not work properly, which can be unsafe.
Q: How do I reset the C0568 code?
A: After repairing the issue, use an OBD-II scanner to clear the code. If the problem persists, the code will reappear.
