Steering sensor

Postby littlespoon » Fri May 07, 2021 1:26 pm

Hi quick question, if I changed the steering wheel to say a cMax, you have to get the sensor aligned, but if swopping out for a transit sport steering wheel, or just a new standard wheel, do you still have to align it?
Thanks

Good idea to do it either way I suspect....no two would be identical.

+1

It's a service function, calibrate steering angle sensor. There is also calibrate the longitudinal yaw sensor which is for abs/esp.

But if you look at the steering wheel you'll see 2 holes and those are on either side of the centre of the wheel and on 1 set they are like 10 to 2 position and the other set they aye quarter to 3 position maybe not evaluate but you see what I mean. This is why they don't always fit. You could I guess drill 2 holes that are the same on the transit wheel. But that seems over kill.


Hey mr knobby do you know if you can do these tasks in forscan?

You can definitely calibrate steering angle with forscan

Yes Sir...Forscan can do 95% of the IDS functions these days.
