Steering Wheel Rotation Sensor

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Mercury Mariner and 2008 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The steering wheel rotation sensor measures the rate of rotation of the steering wheel by monitoring the steering wheel rotation ring as it passes through the sensor gap. The steering wheel rotation sensor uses the high speed communication area network (HS-CAN) bus to transmit information to the ABS module about whether the steering wheel is being turned left or right and how far it is being turned. The steering wheel rotation sensor is integrated into the electronic power assisted steering (EPAS) module and is not serviced separately. For information and diagnostics on the EPAS system, refer to STEERING SYSTEM - GENERAL INFORMATION article.
