Steering Angle Sensor

The steering wheel angle sensor is a potentiometer with two brushes positioned at 90 degrees to each other. The potentiometer provides data to the DSC control unit. When first fitted on the factory assembly line or when replaced in service, the sensor must be calibrated with the wheels in the straight ahead position. Thus, steering wheel angle is identified and analyzed by the DSC control unit.
