Steering Wheel Sensor

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mitsubishi Endeavor. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: For the details of the DTC codes, refer to DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART .

This sensor is mounted behind the column switch, and detects the steering wheel position.
The steering wheel sensor has a self-diagnosis function and a memory function. If the diagnosis function finds a trouble, it sends a DTC code to the TCL/ASC-ECU. Then the ECU will illuminate the TCL/ASC indicator light.
