Galaxy steering angle sensor issue

My 2023 Ford Galaxy Hybrid has an issue. At 240598 km, the steering requires increased effort, possibly power steering failure, and the steering wheel vibrates. Diagnostics suggest a defective steering angle sensor, maybe from faulty coding. Any advice?

I had a similar experience with my 2018 Audi A4. Stiff steering and vibrations. It also affected the traction control system, as the steering angle sensor inputs are critical for electronic stability. Did the fault codes indicate problems with the steering column or electronic stability program?

Thanks. The fault codes pointed to the steering angle sensor. How did the steering angle sensor issue impact your traction control system?

The steering angle sensor provides crucial data about the driver's intended direction. When it malfunctions, the electronic stability program interprets this as a potential loss of control. Systems like traction control and electronic stability control may engage unnecessarily or fail to engage when needed. I had to visit the workshop.

I appreciate your explanation. It was the steering angle sensor, specifically its coding. The repair cost 195€. Thanks for your help.
