Code result
C0295
Steering Sensor Indicates Bias
Moderate severity
What it means
The stability control module has detected that the steering wheel position sensor reports a non-zero angle when the vehicle is driving straight. This bias makes ESP intervene incorrectly and the system requires recalibration.
Is it safe to drive?
Use caution
The vehicle is usually drivable for short distances, but the problem can worsen or affect emissions. Diagnose and repair as soon as practical.
