The Steering angle sensor(SAS) is installed in MDPS assembly.
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 HECU checks the CAN communcation lines for normal control and if a steering anlge sensor's message is not received for a certain period, this DTC is set.
