C0051 error code

[2Gunns]

That dang flashing handle bar stayed up long enough yesterday for me to punch up the code error.... C0051.

Anyone know what that is?

C0051: Error in DPS module: SAS Adaptative Fault. Error in VCM module: Steering Wheel Position Sensor Failure.

Faults Galore

I headed out from home on my 2010 RT when almost all the lights came on. ABS, VSS, Limp Home, Engine Fault (DPS, TCM) and the affore-mentioned handle bar indicator.:sour: I turned the engine off and back on and the lights all came on again. I turned around and headed back home. Even though the Limp Home light came on, I was still able to run at normal speeds (<50mph in the city).

I read for one of the faults (Engine,TCM) that I should remove the key and reinsert it. I did that and all the faults went away.
Now, I am glad I didn't limp all the way to my "Nearest Can Am Roadster Dealer (45mi) like the book says. But also I am a little apprehensive about the fault lights coming on again.:gaah:

Any thoughts?:chat:

Hold down the "mode" and "set" button then hit the turn signal button.
