C1290Steering angle sensor zero point fault
- Toyota/Lexus code · ABS / stability control
- Lights a warning lamp
- How the car detects it
- The steering angle reading doesn't agree with where the car actually goes when driving straight. Typical after a wheel alignment with the steering wheel not centred, or when the yaw rate zero point was not calibrated. While this fault is stored, the skid control unit may switch off VSC (stability control) and traction control, and sometimes ABS; normal braking still works. Drive gently and have it checked.
