0E Steering Angle Implausible



0E Steering Angle Implausible

Possible cause(s) of fault:
- Faulty calibration
- Vehicle track maladjusted
- Incorrectly coded
- The steering angle sensor can be twisted on the steering column

Storage condition(s):
- If the total steering angle exceeds a specified value, the fault entry is made. The total steering angle is specified on coding.

Troubleshooting procedure:
If other faults are entered for the steering angle sensor, these must be dealt with beforehand.

Check whether the steering angle display is supplying plausible values, i.e. with straight ahead setting of the front wheels, the steering angle display must show 0 degree and when the steering wheel is turned from stop to stop it must output the same maximum values.

If the check results in nothing unusual and the fault was only entered once, the fault can be ignored. Otherwise, the following tasks must be performed:
- Check the mounting of the steering angle sensor on the steering column
- Code and calibrate the steering angle sensor
- Move the steering wheel from stop to stop and then into a straight ahead setting

Switch off ignition and switch on again

Read out the fault memory of the steering angle sensor

If the steering angle sensor is OK, there must now be no fault entered and the steering angle display must be showing a plausible steering angle.

NOTE: On calibration, the fault memory in the steering angle sensor is automatically deleted.
