SIGNS OF A MALFUNCTIONING STEERING ANGLE SENSOR
2
Nowadays, advanced stability control systems are
used in cars.
3
This helps the driver maintain control of the car
during an evasive maneuver.
4
The steering angle sensor is a part of the
electronic stability program.
5
Here are the signs of a malfunctioning steering
angle sensor.
6
ILLUMINATION OF THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT
Issues with electronic stability program will
trigger error codes.
7
This traction control light will also illuminate
on the dashboard.
8
When the steering angle sensor fails, there is a
malfunction indicator on the dashboard.
9
You will need an OBD- II scanner to correctly
diagnose the error codes.
10
LOOSE STEERING WHEEL
A malfunctioning sensor can relay false
information to the ECM.
11
This can cause the ESP to provide input at the
wrong time.
12
In most cases this will lead to a loose condition
in the steering wheel.
13
The amount of steering input you provide is not
reciprocated by the action of the car.
14
CAR DRIVES DIFFERENTLY
The steering angle sensor is attached to multiple
points within the steering system.
15
The front end alignment can cause problems with
the steering angle sensor.
16
It is common for mechanic shops to forget to
realign the sensor after an alignment service.
17
This will affect the performance of the car as
the steering will not respond properly.
18
CONCLUSION
Having control over your steering is essential
for the safe operation of your car.
19
Take your car to a certified repair shop to fix
the sensor immediately.
