C062BVariable Effort Steering Module Temperature Too Low

The variable effort steering module has reported that its internal temperature is below the calibrated minimum for reliable operation, so the system cannot guarantee the intended steering assist. The module sets this code when the temperature sensor inside the steering control unit reads colder than the threshold during the allowed operating window, often after a cold start or in freezing ambient conditions.
