Hey guys, do you guys know anything about the steering wheel angle sensor? The dealership told me that the sensor failed and wants me to pay about $180 more for more in depth diagnostics on it before they can tell me what is really wrong with the car. I have a 2006 too. Any help would be great. Thanks

 

What was wrong in the first place?

 

My VSA stayed on and I had it checked out at the dealership to see whats wrong. They said it was a steering angle sensor failure but to make sure, they need to run more tests on it and it would cost me $180 more on top for the extra tests. DTC code: 27-1

 

Just not run VSA More fun anyway. Your VSA is your right foot.

 

Yeah I know but that bright" vsa [!]" light on the dash gets really annoying to look at too. If there was only a way to disable that light, then I wouldn't mind because I've been driving this car with that light on since I got it about 10 months ago.

 

Take the bulb out

 

 

 

would it be quite simple to do so? or would I need experience in electricals to take apart the dash?

 

Are people really recommending running without VSA (or does it still work)?
