C0055Steering Wheel Position Sensor Signal D
- Generic OBD-II code · Chassis
- Can trigger limp mode
- How the car detects it
- Covers signal D of the steering wheel position sensor, the fourth multi-track channel that completes the set with signals A, B and C. The ESC module reconstructs absolute steering angle from all channels and uses their agreement to detect a single faulty track; this code is set when channel D is out of range, open, shorted or inconsistent with the others. Ford documents C0055 together with C0052, C0053 and C0054 on 2020-2021 Police Interceptor Utility vehicles, where the codes store in the steering module if the police-package steering-wheel accessory outputs are left unwired. A fault disables stability control and sets the ABS/ESC warning lamp while base braking remains. The entry follows the SAE J2012 generic definition and multi-track steering-angle sensor design.
