Symptoms of a snapped Steering Wheel Angle Sensor
Anybody know how the car would act if that snapped?
Ive been dealing with the VDC issue with it because of an aftermarket steering wheel for awhile. I just turn off VDC and the slip light comes on as soon as I start driving and its driveable.
Tonite the car wouldnt go past 1000rpm in any gear without it feeling like its hitting fuel cut or something. Thats why if that steering wheel angle sensor snapped after all this time of being not centered would the car react like that with no SES?
Thanks!

The Steering Wheel Position Sensor will relay false information to VDC. Like the car is turing when it is really going straight. VDC (along with the brakes) will act on the false information.
