Steering Angle Sensor Misalignment or Communication Errors
C2205 — Steering Angle Sensor Misalignment or Communication Errors
System: Chassis | Type: Generic (OBD-II Standard) | Make: Chrysler
C2205 is a generic (obd-ii standard) chassis diagnostic trouble code recorded for Chrysler vehicles. It belongs to the C-prefix family of codes, which covers chassis, braking, steering, suspension, or stability-control faults.
When C2205 is stored, the module has detected a sensor-related fault — the reported value from the named sensor is out of spec.
Scanning & clearing: Chassis (C) codes are stored in the ABS, traction control, or stability-control modules. An enhanced or OEM-level scan tool is usually required to read and clear them.
Because C2205 is a generic OBD-II code, its base definition is shared across manufacturers. The specific diagnostic steps, reference values, and repair procedures can vary by vehicle, and the TaT Diagnostic Assistant includes verified procedures submitted by working technicians.
The Steering Control Module or ABS/ESC module continuously monitors the steering angle sensor signal and its communication to determine steering wheel position and rate of turn. DTC C2205 is set when the module detects that the steering angle sensor signal is implausible, not centred when the wheels are in the straight-ahead position, or when communication data from the sensor is missing, corrupted, or outside specified limits. This typically occurs after wheel alignment, steering or suspension repairs, battery disconnection, or when a calibration has not been completed or retained.
