C0607Steering Wheel Angle Sensor Circuit High
- Generic OBD-II code · Chassis
- Can trigger limp mode
- How the car detects it
- C0607 is the mirror image of C0606: the steering angle signal sits above its allowed ceiling. Usual reasons are a signal wire shorted to the sensor supply or to battery voltage, an open ground at the sensor, after which the line drifts up, or an internal fault driving the output to its top end. In the Kelsey-Hayes quadrature sensor a valid high state is near 4.4 V and readings beyond the upper limit are faults; in the Bosch PWM concept a line stuck at battery level yields no valid duty cycle, and the patent names a short to battery as detectable. HELLA points out that a redundant double angle sensor lets such single-channel failures be caught. No maker publishes C0607. The ESC lamp lights and stability control stays off until the fault is gone.
