What the code means
This is a manufacturer-specific code: the meaning depends on the make and sometimes on the year.
How to read C200D: the letter C means chassis (brakes, ABS, steering, suspension); the second digit 2 marks a manufacturer code whose meaning is set by the make; the last three characters 00D identify the specific fault.
Electric power steering, steering angle sensor and steering column codes. After a front wheel impact the steering angle sensor often needs calibration, and a bent rack or tie rod produces errors scanners describe as invalid data.

What owners report
Excerpts of owner complaints in the original wording. Owner statements not verified by the regulator; personal data removed.
Warning light display: "Steering Assist Fault", "Service AdvanceTrac", turn signals unable to lock and release. Hard Fault codes present: U3000 96-C8, C200D, 49-48 C1B00, 64-48.
The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed an ABS and power steering failure and determined that the power steering rack unit needed to be repaired. The independent mechanic scanned the vehicle and retrieved DTC: U0131, 87-48, C102D, 00-8a, and C200D, 49-08.
This sudden loss of power steering assist created a serious safety risk for myself and others on the road. The vehicle was inspected by a dealership, which confirmed diagnostic codes U3000 and C200D in the Power Steering Control Module and recommended replacement of the steering gear assembly and related components.
