About this code
Code C0710 indicates that the steering angle sensor is sending implausible data. If the steering wheel is crooked following suspension repairs or pothole impacts, the car thinks you are turning when driving in a straight line. Straightening the alignment or recalibrating the sensor solves this issue.
