Steering Angle Sensor (SAS) Calibration

  1. PURPOSE OF CALIBRATION
    • On vehicle control, an ESC analyzes the intention of the driver.
    • An ESC recognizes a steering angle which a driver rotates through the steering angle sensor.
    • A steering angle sensor used in ESC adjusts 0° setting of steering wheel through K-line or CAN communication.

    1. Align the wheel to the straight line, (steering wheel < ± 5°)

      ex) Perform the wheel alignment first.

      Align the wheel to the straight line.

      A driver moves the vehicle forward and backward

      about 5 meters twice or three times.

    2. Connect Scan tool to the vehicle.
    3. Select Brake system.
    4. Select Steering angle sensor (SAS) calibration.
