Q: What does code C0625 mean?

Variable Effort Steering Sensor Circuit Range/Performance. The C0625 code indicates that the variable effort steering (VES) sensor circuit has reported a range or performance fault, meaning the steering control module detected a signal that is out of expected limits or inconsistent with other inputs. The computer compares the VES sensor voltage against a calculated model and sets this code when the signal does not behave as designed during a self-test or while driving.
