The cost of replacing the steering torque sensor in a 2012 Chevy Malibu is approximately $140 for the parts and $400 for the labor. This sensor is a crucial component of the electromechanical power steering system and provides the driver with feedback on the steering torque. It measures the angle of the torsion bar needed for steering movements. Common signs of a faulty steering torque sensor include illuminated check engine and traction control lights, heavy steering, and unstable handling. Other warning indicators such as ABS or Airbag lights may also appear. Since the airbag is typically connected to the steering torque sensor, damaged sensor wiring can lead to issues with the airbag system as well.
