4560 Steering Angle Sensor

The steering angle sensor must be reinitialized when the battery is disconnected and connected.

• Turn wheels to straight-ahead position. 
• Switch ignition off and then on again twice. 
• Start engine. 
• From the straight-ahead position, turn steering wheel approx. 20° to the right, past the straight-ahead position. 
• Drive the vehicle straight ahead for at least one second at a speed above 4 km/h (2.5 mph). 

The steering angle sensor segment is recognized again in this process.

Once the sensor has been successfully initialized, the fault code that is stored in the fault memory is documented using the fault deletion counter.

The fault memory erases itself automatically.

The PSM indicator light in the instrument cluster goes out.
