Have the "Drive System Control" message and think it's the steering angle sensor. Does anybody a rough estimate on the cost of replacement?

I had something similiar. I has DSC and EDC (electronic damper control) faults come up and the dealer said it was the SZL steering angle sensor not calibrated. So maybe u have a "calibration" fault too?

I would think that's less costly than replacing the sensor

I also would like to know the answer to this, I also have the same problem. Also, any idea how long it takes to fix?

Not sure if this helps, but I had this come up twice in 10 months of ownership (last time maybe a month or two ago). SA tells me its the Steering Angle Sensor that's out of whack. His advice: shut off the car, restart, turn steering wheel all the way to the left, then all the way to the right, then center again. Shut off. Restart. No fault messages, everything works as it should. If this keeps happening though I'll make them replace the sensor before I'm out of CPO... Hope this helps!

The dealer has recalibrated that sensor twice on my car. It's 1 year old now and has 9000 miles. It sounds like this is a common occurrence.
