C1260 Steering Angle Sensor Circuit-Signal

General Information

Component Location





General Description

The Steering angle sensor (SAS) is joined to the multi function switch and using a CAN communication.
The SAS is composed of main gear, serve gear1 and serve gear2 to determine the turning direction.
If main gear is rotated according to the rotation of steering wheel serve gear1 and serve gear2, which is contact with main gear, will be rotated.
The HECU detects the absolute angle by using magnetic MR effect and the difference gear ratio of each serve gear and then send to the CAN communication line.
The HECU detects the steering wheel's operating speed and operating angle by using absolute angle, and this signal is used as a input signal of anti-roll control.

DTC Description

If the SAS signal is different from calculated value by yaw-rate sensor and wheel speed sensor, mechanically impossible SAS signal is detected, there is a difference between SAS signal and driving condition of the vehicle calculated from yaw-rate sensor and lateral G sensor, a failure is detected.
