C2205 is an OBD-II diagnostic trouble code meaning “Steering Wheel Sensor System — Internal Malfunction.” Manufacturer-specific (Mitsubishi). The control module has received a failure status reported by the steering wheel angle sensor's own self-diagnosis, meaning the sensor reports an internal fault rather than a wiring problem. Mitsubishi service information lists this code under the ABS/ASC and AWD (S-AWC) control modules, which communicate with the steering wheel sensor over the CAN bus. Because steering angle is an input to stability, traction, and all-wheel-control functions, those systems typically drop out and the ABS/traction warning lights come on. The vehicle usually still drives, but electronic stability assistance may be reduced or disabled. This code is most commonly reported on 2007-2017 Jeep Wrangler (Sport, Sahara, Rubicon, Unlimited), with repair costs ranging from $200 to $600.
