Candidate cause (the documents say what to do)
Stability System Disabled / Service Stability message with DTC C0455 (bent terminals at the steering wheel position sensor)
Owners may comment on a Stability System Disabled or Service Stability message with DTC C0455.
The concern may be caused by bent terminals on the SWPS (Steering Wheel Position Sensor).
How to tell
C0455Stability control message (StabiliTrak)
What to do
- Remove the SWPS connector and inspect for bent terminals.
- In most cases the terminals can be straightened without replacing the sensor.
