The steering wheel angle sensor has to be calibrated when adjusting the toe-in or when replacing the ESP ECU or the switch module at the steering wheel,working on the steering column or the steering column support or if the following fault appears or when the steering wheel angle sensor calibration impossible fault appears.
Before starting the calibration procedure itself,ensure that the wheels are in the straight line position.Two methods can be used to do this.Drive in a straight line:the vehicle should be driven along a level surface for approximately 100 meters and without any strong cross winds.The vehicle must be stationary after being driven,Taking as much care as possible not to alter the position of the steering wheel.Alignment on the test facility a Hunter type test facility ensures the front wheels are aligned.Validate to continue.
Please be sure that all conditions are satisfied select “OK”
It will start the calibration,select “OK”
The calibration was successful.Erase the faults then read the faults.The ‘steering wheel angle sensor calibration fault’ should no longer appear.Check that the zero position of the steering wheel has been set by driving for 1 or 2 km along straight roads and round bends(having disconnected the diagnostic tool).The fault LED should no longer illuminate.During this road test,there is no need to cause ESP regulation.Press no validate to return to the main menu.
