Most Reported On
C1725 is an OBD-II diagnostic trouble code meaning “Steering Torque Sensor Circuit.” C1725 is a chassis code indicating the control module has detected a problem in the steering torque sensor circuit. The steering torque sensor measures how much twisting force you apply to the steering wheel and feeds that signal to the electric power steering (EPS) or stability/4WD system so it can deliver the right amount of assist. When the sensor's signal is missing, out of range, or electrically faulty, the module sets this code. You may notice heavier or inconsistent steering effort and a warning light, since the system can reduce or disable power assist as a precaution. This code is most commonly reported on 2003-2017 Ford Expedition, with repair costs ranging from $200 to $1,500.
