C0710 — Steering Position Signal Malfunction
The chassis or stability control module has received an invalid or missing steering position signal — often via the communication bus from the steering control module. ESP, lane assist and electric power steering may be limited.
General code reference. Confirm the definition and diagnostic procedure for your vehicle's year, model and engine. A stored code alone does not identify a failed part.
Affected components
- Steering angle sensor
- Power steering module
- Esp control module
- Communication bus

- Steering angle sensor or steering control module failed
- Communication bus fault between modules
