  • Open/short circuit in sensor wiring harness
  • Blown fuse (usually F25-F35 in the mounting block)
  • Oxidation of contacts in connectors
  • Malfunction of the steering angle sensor itself
  • Problems with the clockspring block (in designs with integration)
  • ABS/ESP module malfunction

How to Fix

  1. Check the fuses of the SAS circuit (according to the power supply diagram)
  2. Inspect the wiring harness at the steering column for damage.
  3. Check the voltage at the sensor connector (should be 5V/12V depending on the model)
  4. Clean the connector contacts with contact paste.
  5. Test the sensor with a scanner (the readings should change smoothly when you turn the steering wheel)
  6. If necessary, replace the sensor or clockspring
