We have a 2006 VW Golf in for a steering light on dash.
the normal methods of diagnosing and rectifying this issue didn't work, so lets have a look to see what can keep this light on! - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Thanks so much for this informative and professional video, original fault 2006 Golf 1.9tdi - Steering and traction control lights on, caused initially by low battery voltage, fault reading as steering angle sensor. Found a segment missing from the rear abs ring, after replacing with a new one the lights went out straight away. Initially spent a good while chasing my tail trying different steering angle sensors.
Thanks again

Have same problem replaced rear wheel hubs and abs rings corroded will try recalibrate thanks very interesting video
Did it work?
i am just doing new rear bearing hubs on mine as i have steering light on, abs fault at rear, heavily corroded old bearing hubs. i am hoping once done the simple reset procedure will solve the problem!
Hi ..many thanks brilliant vid.
Same issue...ultra low battery and i accidentally cut the ABS wire when i changed the coil spring, rejoined the wire..but the yellow steering light cwas on ...so drove a little...and it went out !
Awesome! Thanks for the information! My gti had the same issue and she was losing my hair trying to diagnose it
After a dead battery on my 2004 Audi A3 2.0 fsi my steering wheel light was constantly on and didn't go off after recalibration. Followed this video and found a rear right abs/wheel speed sensor faulty. Ordered a new speed sensor for around £12 so hopefully that is the gremlin. Epic video and straight to the point. Thank you.
Did it fix
@@MazeedAkanni I tried to fit the new sensor myself but the Allen key bolt was rusted and rounded so I need to get the garage to do it. The wheel speed sensor is definitely faulty as the other 3 detect the correct speed when moving the wheels. The rear right was giving all sorts of readings from 5 to 70 mph. I'll keep you updated. 👍
@@steve323f cool good luck!
Extremely clear and very useful. Thank you.
I’m going to replace my front Abs Speed Sensor if that doesn’t work I’ll do the ABS. I recently had to replace the rear speed sensor. Your video provide some clarification for my problem
Great vid mate Thankyou sorted mine out
Amazing who would have thought that was the problem nice one
Great video
On my 2008 VW Rabbit, this light shows up every time I disconnect the battery and reconnect it. Fortunately, it goes away after I start to drive again. Another example German engineering gremlins in the electrical system. I have other issues as well, but the car performs fantastically as far as the mechanical parts are concerned. With over 162K miles on it, I can't complain. It's a keeper.
Worked on 2007 Mk5, thank you!
Thank you so much for video i had same problem and i fix it ✌️👍
Glad this helped
Hey nice video bro and I’m having the same issue but I finally was able to calibrate the angle sensor but after driving the car a little more the steering wheel light comes back on and I have to recalibrate the steering wheel. Any ideas?
Hi thank you for this video. Mk5 tdi with the abs esp light which i know from scan is rear right speed sensor. Ive ignored it for a week and now my steering angle sensor has flagged up after amber steering light won't reset. Hopefully the 2 are linked.
Thank you!
Hey was replacing front wheel bearing after iam getting warning sign of Power starring, ABS, hand break an engine light on at the same time
What happens if you’re driving with a faulty sensor ?? Going to buy a car unsure if it’s the actual sensor or if it needs calibrating. Would it be safe to do a 3.5hour drive (200 miles) with that light on?
Hey man. If the sensor is giving live data for the angle speed, does it mean it works or it might be faulty? I have passat b6 3c and it locked the ignitay key in. For those who don't know its a button key that is inserted in a hole of sorts. So the car doesn't want to release it and I found out that the calibration is gone. I get angle speed but not the angle in degrees (C). I'll try to recalibrate and check on the abs sensors.
Have the same problem all okay after battery dissconect,one abs wheel bearing is bad i will replace and replay thanks!
This is the problem with cars now to many sensors and so much that can go wrong with them never had all this on mk2 escorts
Must the engine be turned on or just the key turn on?please
I have same problem on an 2012 Audi A6 but all my sensors are reading any ideas??
The steering orange warning light has came on on my 09 Passat after towing it, trying to fix it at tge moment
I'm having a similar problem on a 2013 Tiguan. Replace the clock spring and the steering angle sensor will not reset. I will have to check the ABS rings.
Hi. I've had the same problem so my question is if your steering wheel was hard to turn and if it was a red warning light or yellow?
I have the saem problem
Ihave 2013 tiguan its showing red light
Hello same problem here, turns it's the electric steering rack 😞 ££££££££££££
I get the error steering sensor mechanical failure. No issues on speed sensor. Just got a brake pad warning error. Wire was chaffed. Replaced and brake pad wear sensor still problem
I have the code 00573 every time I fall on bad ground it activates. could that be the problem?
Could I get some quick internet advice on this issue? I have my NCT coming up today and I just got my passat back from service yesterday. I know NCT means nothing to most of u, but the car must pass it to be legally road worthy (car health check kind of thing).
I had my engine thermostat changed, which required the mechanic to take a good chunk of the front of the car apart, including disconnecting the battery. Now my car is displaying the power steering icon on the dash and the steering feels strange - the car won't straighten up on its own; note, the power steering DOES work, it just doesn't work as smoothly as before.
I don't think he damaged anything regarding the power steering, but I am also unable to get the light to go away or to get the steering to feel as it did before - I tried the calibration, nothing happened.
I have 6 hours before the NCT test, so if I could find a solution in this time, I'd be very happy, otherwise its 55 euros thrown in the bin.
Thank you!
If the light is caused by the calibration being out, that may have been caused by the battery being disconnected.
I would call your mechanic and mention this to them as they may be able to recalibrate via the method shown or via diagnostic.
@@MTMMotorServices took it back to the mechanic in the morning before going off for the test - he hooked on his multi thousand euro confuser, tried to clear the error 4 separate times with no luck - not surprising, considering there is a real issue to resolve first.
He couldn't figure out what caused the problem, not on the spot anyway... car failed the test, but at least this dash light was the only reason it failed and it'll be a free visual inspection next time before I'm good to go.
Just gotta figure out what the actual problem is now and get it fixed.
I should have become a mechanic instead lol
@@OriginalUnknown2 hopefully the issue will be resolved soon and your car will pass the test.
When it's fixed, please leave a comment, I'm interested to know what your issue was. And it can help someone in a similar situation if they see it.
@@MTMMotorServices Absolutely, I will. Thanks for your video too, my issue happened to be something else, but its a great instructional - when my mechanic asked me to do this, I wasn't sure how exactly he meant and ur video explained it really well!
Thanks again, for everything!
@@OriginalUnknown2 Hi there, I have the exact same problem here, how did you manage to fix it?
The noise we hear around minute 02:20 is normal? Does it indicate any issue?
most likely a dry/cracked bushing somewhere in the suspension
I changed da same bearing an hub but nw itz flashing red
No ABS codes?
hi im anthony i have seat leon that has same light on red but power serring is working fine but i put back shocks and srings on back then light came on i sad to my macanic and he said its nothing to do with it but i think hes rong just dont whant to spend more trying to find fault it gave a 00573 code
Steering wheel (44) # ecu coding
I am getting an error relating to the steering angle sensor. the main problem I have is the traction control light wont go off.
i have the same issue as well. were you able to find a solution?
lot of corrosion,
thanks
I got an ABS, ESP, & Tyre Pressure Light on & Steering Light On, My steering doesn’t retest to centre when cornering… do I need to replace the rear reluctor & bearing?
Did u ever get it fixed. Because my car is doin the same problem
@@ErinIsBack in the process of it, it’s the rear abs sensors
@@ErinIsBack steering fault is a bad angle sensor
Well I took it someone and they saying the steering rack. But is it hard for u to turn your steering wheel
@@ErinIsBack no the power steering is nice & light as it should be, just no return to centre. I been told it’s the steering angle sensor & so did the diagnostic tell me (g85 error code) I’m waiting for a steering angle sensor to arrive
Brother I have problem can’t solve it
The steering become red light and so heavy
I change the gearbox and light become yellow
No one can clear the yellow light
Today red light come again
What should I do ?
Can you help me about that
