A driver can control the car by turning and steering using the wheel.
In that sentence, is "by turning and steering" a prepositional phrase?

It's an adverb phrase which modifies the verb phrase can control.

Yes, you are correct. A prepositional phrase is just a phrase that begins with a preposition. In this case 'by' is the preposition.

"By turning and steering" is a gerund prepositional phrase used as an adverb, modifying the verb "can control" telling "how."
