Calibration Of Steering Wheel Angle Sensor
The steering wheel angle sensor must be calibrated after working on the steering assembly and aligning wheel angles.
Note. The wheel alignment must be correct before calibration is carried out.
- Put the wheels straight ahead.
- Connect Tech 2 and select Programming - Steering wheel angle sensor. Follow the instructions displayed on Tech 2.
- Read and clear ESP trouble codes.
- Test drive the vehicle.
- Check for any DTCs that have been generated. If there are any DTCs present, refer to the respective code for fault diagnosis and procedure.
- Disconnect Tech 2.

- Remove the centre console, see «CENTER CONSOLE (2006)»(ref-274851-S18034877482007122400000) «CENTER CONSOLE (2007)»(ref-278645-S13105446952008013000000) .
- Manual gearbox: Remove the gear lever housing, see «TO REMOVE»(ref-274821-S07838937202007122400000) . Automatic transmission: Remove the selector lever housing, see «TO REMOVE»(ref-274852-S02605481352007122400000) .
- Remove the gyro sensor. Use a large screwdriver to prise aside the air duct slightly to access the left-hand screw.
- Unplug the connector from the gyro sensor. NOTE: The connector has a locking device that must be released.
Scheme 7
- Plug in the gyro sensor.
- Fit the gyro sensor to the bracket. Use a large screwdriver to prise aside the air duct slightly to access the left-hand screw. IMPORTANT: Fit the gyro sensor with the connector and arrow pointing forward in the car.

Calibration
In order for the microprocessor to know the straight-ahead position (0-position), the sensor must first be calibrated. When calibrating, the steering wheel angle sensor receives information that the steering wheel and the road wheels are in 0 position (straight-ahead).
Calibration must be performed after working on the front assembly or after changing the steering wheel angle sensor. This is done as described in CALIBRATION OF STEERING WHEEL ANGLE SENSOR .
If the correction value is 15°, the system is disabled and the TCS OFF/ESP OFF INDICATOR LAMP comes on.
