Calibrating Steering-Angle Sensor
WARNING:
Steering-angle sensor not calibrated or calibrated incorrectly
- Unexpected vehicle handling
- Steering-angle sensor does not function
- Malfunction in steering-angle sensor
→ After working on wheel suspension parts, when replacing the steering-angle sensor and after changing the wheel alignment values, calibrate the steering-angle sensor using PIWIS Tester II 9818 .
→ Keep the front wheels in straight-ahead position on the measuring platform during calibration.
→ On vehicles with electromechanical steering, also re-teach the electric steering lock settings.
- Calibrate the steering-angle sensor if the previous wheel alignment values (at rear and/or front axle) were changed. If each individual case (if the wheel alignment values where changed only slightly), read out the steering-angle sensor actual value first and only calibrate the steering-angle sensor if necessary.
