Default VSC light diagnosed as steering angle sensor

Girlfriend's car is a 2007 Lexus ES350 with 190,000 miles. The VSC light has been going and off for a couple of months.

A mechanic has diagnosed it as a steering angle sensor. We are going to get a second opinion.

Looking on the Internet, it looks as though this is going to be a $300-400 part. Is there a website that has this part cheaper? Would it be worth it to check salvage yards?

And please don't flame me for the salvage yard question. I think it is a valid consideration.

Thank you

Apparently the code says steering angle sensor. The VSC light comes on, but It does not stay on. She turns the car off and it doesn't come back on. Then it will show up again.

might be worthwhile to pull the codes yourself or free from Pep Boys
