C0051-49 Steering Position Angle Sensor


Recommended Posts

Anti Skid light came on.  Would not leave.  Hard shift on left turns.  Binding on the back when backing into the driveway.  

 

Took it to a Dodge mechanic (he only works on Dodge).  He did a scan.  C0051-49 code.  Steering Position Angle Sensor.

 

Had to go to a dealer to get the part.  SOB!  $610.00 plus taxes.  Got it for $530 plus taxes because they screwed up on the price on the phone before heading over to get it.  Original quote was for $330.  SOB!

 

Information about it on these sites:

There is also some information about it here on our site:

Prevents binding during low-speed turns a third condition, which is independent of the others, uses the ESP steering angle sensor to determine when the vehicle is turning in a tight circle. This condition causes the electronic control module to reduce torque to the rear wheels to prevent binding in the driveline. The electronic control module is always checking for this condition as well.

 

Part should be here on Friday pm.

Getting it installed then (2.5 to 3 hours labour) .  Then I have to take it to the dealer for a flash.

 

I hope that this never happens to anyone else here.  This vehicle is getting expensive.  I am very frustrated.

My 2013 Dodge Journey has a Traction light always ON (nothing else). I am using a BlueDriver OBD scanner and it gives me these codes. 

 

U0429-00  Invalid Data Received From Steering Column Control Module: No Sub Type
Information MIL/CONFIRMED


C0051-49 Steering Wheel Position Sensor: Internal Electronic Failure
MIL/CONFIRMED


C0037 Left Rear Wheel Speed Sensor: Signal Compare Failure

 

Did anyone else have the same code? Do you think it's the wheel sensor or the steering wheel clock spring?
