Signal description, Control unit for the steering wheel angle sensor (SAS)

The values in the table represent the values between the connections shown in column 1 and #A40 (ground), unless otherwise stated in brackets.

NOTE: It is important that the test box is connected and the ground points checked before testing begins.
- U= DC voltage (V) Ubat = battery voltage (V) -
- I = amperage (A) Ulow = voltage close to 0 V -

#A25 #1 15 supply (voltage supply from the ignition lock) U (Ubat -
#A26 #2 Voltage supply to steering wheel angle sensor U (Ubat 15 supply through control unit
#A27 #3 Steering wheel angle signal A <0.25 V (low)
>0.75 V (high)
I (1 mA
Steering wheel angle signal
The coding wheel in the steering wheel angle sensor is perforated with a special code template. Two circuits, each with 4 LEDs and 4 receptors, read the coding wheel and send a pulsed signal containing information about the position of the steering wheel.
