Steering Angle Sensor: Description and Operation

Steering angle sensor -G85-

The steering angle sensor is housed together with the airbag spiral spring/return spring with slip ring. It is located on the steering column between the steering column switch and steering wheel. It transmits the steering wheel's steering angle to the ABS control module -J104- for ABS/ASR/ESP via the CAN-bus. After replacing the control module or the sensor, a zeroing must be performed. For malfunctioning sensor, the ESP function is not available.
