The Steering angle sensor(SAS) is joined to the multi function switch and uses a CAN communication.
The SAS is used to determine turning direction and speed of the steering wheel.
The HECU uses the signals from the SAS when performing ESP-related calculations.
The SAS used for ESC control needs zero point adjustment because the SAS measures a absolute angle.
Zero point adjustment is done by using the scantool device. If abnormal zero point adjustment is detected, a failure is reconized.
Item | Detecting Condition | Possible cause |
DTC Strategy | ● Signal Monitoring | ● A fail of SAS zero point adjustment ● Faulty HECU |
Monitoring Period | ● During SAS zero point adjustment. | |
Enable Conditions | ● The position of steering wheel is out of specified range (straight positon, a max. error ±5˚) during SAS zero point adjustment. | |
Fail Safe | ● Reduced controller function caused by faulty SAS signal. Allow the ABS/EBD control. ● The ESP warning lamp is activated. |
