Caution

Severity: Caution - get it checked when you can

Axial motor or sensor failure (steering column)

21 brands affected · Description from Toyota data.

Key terms: Powertrain: engine, transmission and emissions

Safety: This code relates to the steering system. Steering effort may increase.

1What it means in plain English

This range normally covers the transmission control system, but some manufacturers use P07-P09 codes for unrelated functions (fuel pump control, air-mix motors, lighting or windows). Check the description before assuming it is a transmission fault.

2Common causes

  1. Low or dirty transmission fluid
  2. Faulty shift solenoid
  3. Faulty speed sensor
  4. Wiring or connector fault
  5. Internal transmission wear

3Can I drive?

Caution · drive with care

Steering effort may increase. If the steering feels heavy or unpredictable, stop safely and have it checked.

This page gives general information. It is not professional advice. For a definite diagnosis and a repair quote, ask a qualified mechanic to inspect the car.
