What's involved
What this repair actually is.
The steering angle sensor sits in the column and reports the wheel's exact position to the stability control, ABS, and electric steering systems. When it fails, traction and stability warnings appear and safety systems can behave oddly. We replace the sensor and perform the required calibration so all systems read correctly.
Symptoms
How you can tell.
- Traction control or stability warning lights on
- Stability control activates when it shouldn't
- Steering warning light after an alignment or repair
- Lane-keeping or driver-assist features disabled
- Codes for steering angle sensor stored
If you delay
With a bad angle sensor, stability control can brake individual wheels at the wrong moment or shut off entirely.
