steering assist warning light on error 00573
ive got this error on 2005 A3:
00573 - Steering Torque Sensor (G269): Implausible Signal
ive checked and the torque value changes as I turn the steering wheel. my mechanic has noticed the steering is very tight when it was on a 2 post lift and he tries to turn the wheel by hand. so we found the top mount bearings seem to be binding slightly as the spring will turn then the top mount shortly after.
if I clear it it comes back. I have found if I delete the code whilst the ignition is on then go for a drive all is well until I turn the ignition off then on, then it errors after a short drive. After that it comes on almost straight away after turning the ignition on.
