C0295Steering Sensor Indicates Bias
- Generic OBD-II code · Chassis
- Can trigger limp mode
- Needs a drive cycle to confirm a fix
- How the car detects it
- Public evidence for C0295 is lacking. The code appears neither in the publicly available J2012 tables nor in GM's PIP5094 keywords, the AA1Car chart, the Saab manuals or the NHTSA bulletin index. What remains is the fault the title names, a steering angle sensor whose zero point no longer matches straight-ahead driving. GM stores this case as C0710 5A on the 2011 Saab 9-5, comparing steering angle with yaw rate; ESP and the hill start aid then stay off for the ignition cycle. The earlier Saab 9-5 disables the system once the stored correction reaches 15 degrees. GM bulletin 16-NA-151 cures a 2016 Malibu C0460 after a voltage dip by turning the wheel lock to lock. Bosch measures the angle with two magnet gears.
