Less commonly, the logic board itself fails due to thermal cycling or component aging. This requires module replacement or reprogramming.
DTC060AF1 is a manufacturer-specific diagnostic trouble code. In Renault’s proprietary diagnostic language (not a generic OBD-II code), this translates to:
"Steering Angle Sensor – Signal Incoherence or Internal Electronic Fault."
More precisely, Renault’s DCS (Diagnostic Command System) describes 060AF1 as: "The steering wheel angle sensor supplies an invalid value. Coherence between the steering angle and the direction of the wheels not consistent." Renault Dtc060af1
This means the car’s network (typically the CAN bus) is receiving a steering angle signal that does not match the actual mechanical position of the front wheels. The ESP/ESC system relies on accurate steering angle data to apply brakes individually during cornering. If the signal is wrong, ESP is disabled, and you will see warning lights.
Renault DTCs can often be accessed and cleared using a Renault-specific scan tool or a more universal OBD-II scanner that supports Renault vehicles. Some common issues that might trigger DTCs include:
For Renaults, DTC060AF1 is a notorious code. While you should always check the wiring and the EGR valve first, do not be surprised if the root cause is internal to the ECU. Do not replace the ECU without verifying that the wiring harness is 100% intact, as a shorted wire will burn out a new ECU instantly. Less commonly, the logic board itself fails due
The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) Renault DTC060AF1 typically relates to a communication fault between the engine control unit (ECU) and the electronic throttle control (ETC) system.
Here is a detailed explanation of this code, its causes, symptoms, and solutions.
If battery voltage drops below 11.5V while cranking, the sensor’s memory corrupts. "Steering Angle Sensor – Signal Incoherence or Internal
While ESP pump failures are often age-related, you can reduce risk:
If the problem is electronic (relay or PCB):
