A perfectly logical and well thought out answer young man .. i swear you are after my job here
joking aside it's a good point .. the reluctor rings do indeed corrode .. the car looks at these .. the normal fault with corrosion on them is an abs activation at low speed though but this is a point worth checking :thumb:
My trouble here is the fault code says it can't see or it gets an implausible signal from the steering angle sensor .. thats a sensor on the steering column that measures the angle of turn .. it's only accurate if its been calibrated though .. if not then it could well cause this issue .
let's just say if the car thought a left hand down was straight ahead ( calibration ) .. it then entered a corner on a right hand it would know the angle of the steering was more than the car could do based on the wheel speed sensors then it will throw a code .
Either way the car says at certain times it can't see this signal .. hence im leaning towards this being the issue ... car may well be confused though by the wheel speed sensors and the steering angle sensor and this is the best code it can throw up due to the circumstances .
Both need checking i feel and no offense but an excellent answer that i hadn't considered .
I do hate answering a comment other than the OP,s question .. i don't like to offend people
