What does code C0460 mean?

Q: What does code C0460 mean?

Steering Position Signal Implausible. The steering angle sensor reports a position that the electronic stability control (ESC) module judges to be implausible when compared with the wheel speeds, yaw rate and lateral acceleration. The computer has detected a disagreement between where the driver is steering and how the vehicle is actually behaving, so it stores C0460 and typically disables stability control.
