Steering Angle Sensor
The steering angle sensor measures how far and how fast the steering wheel is turned.
What is Steering Angle Sensor?
Stability control needs it. It is often near the clock spring. It needs calibration after alignment. After wheel alignment or steering work, many cars need the sensor zero point to be relearned with a scan tool. A straight steering wheel is required for correct calibration.
How it works
Optical or magnetic elements detect rotation.
Why it matters for your car
Wrong calibration causes warning lights. Recalibrate after steering work.
