Steerin angle sensor

Steering angle sensor

Hi guys,

I copied this quote from another section of the forum, I hope someone can enlighten me.

Howdo folks.

In the last week, my wife's drives have been accompanied by a loud beep, a big flashing red (!) in the centre of the dash (replacing mpg, etc) and an orange circle around a triangle with a warning ! in it to the left. (Kinda looks like the post icon I tagged here).

I came accross this problem when driving home late last night. As all others who have had this problem, I pulled over and turned off the engine. Once I started it again the lights had gone out. Driven this morning no problems, however, I leave at 6am tomorrow for a 2000+ mile road trip into Europe and am unsure what to do about the fault.

Does anyone know if the problem of steering angle sensor will escalate or could it wait until I get back. I am aware of the link to clean the system, however, I don't want to be removing airbags etc before such a long trip out (just in case I open a can worms).

Any advice before I leave tomorrow morning would be great!!

Thanking you in advance,

Greg.
