COMPONENT LOCATION
General Description

The Steering angle sensor(SAS) is installed in EPS (Electric Power Steering) and it sends messages to HECU through CAN communication line. 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.

DTC Description

The SAS used for ESP control needs 0 set because the SAS measures an absolute angle. 0 set is done by using the scantool device. If abnormal 0 set is detected or no information in SAS is detected, a failure is recognized.

DTC Detecting Condition

Item

Detecting Condition

Possible cause

DTC Strategy

Signal Monitoring

A fail of SAS 0 set

Monitoring Period

During SAS 0 set.

Enable Conditions

The position of steering wheel is out of specified range (straight positon, a max. error ±5˚) during SAS 0 setting.

When SAS is not calibrated.

Fail Safe

Reduced controller function caused by faulty SAS signal. Allow the ABS/EBD control.

The ESP warning lamp is activated.

Monitor Scantool Data
1.

Connect scantool to Data Link Connector(DLC).

2.

Ignition "ON" & Engine "ON".

3.

Monitor the "SAS CALIBRATED" parameters on the Scantool.

Specification : YES

4.

Is parameter displayed within specifications?

▶ Fault is caused by having been repaired and HECU memory was not cleared. Clear the DTC and then go to "Verification Of Vehicle Repair" procedure.

▶ Go to "Component Inspection" procedure.

Component Inspection
1.

Line up wheels like (figure 1).

(1)

Perform the wheel alignment.

(2)

Set the steering wheel so that the wheels point straight ahead.

(3)

Go ahead and Go back the vehicle 2~3 times without holding steering wheel.

2.

Connect scantool to Data Link Connector(DLC).

3.

Go in Elec. Power Steering system. (figure 2).

4.

Perform ASP calibration. (figure 3).

5.

Check the condition of "SAS 0 SET" by oprerating the vehicle (turn right and left at least 1 time)

6.

Is "SAS 0 SET" completed normally?

▶ Go to "Verification Of Vehicle Repair" procedure.

▶ Substitute with a known-good HECU and check for proper operation. If problem is corrected, replace HECU and then go to "Verification Of Vehicle Repair" procedure.

Verification of Vehicle Repair

After a repair, it is essential to verify that the fault has been corrected.

1.

Connect scantool and select "Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)" mode

2.

Using a scantool, Clear DTC.

3.

Operate the vehicle within DTC Detecting Condition in General Information

4.

Are any DTCs present?

▶ Go to the applicable troubleshooting procedure.

▶ System performing to specification at this time.
