Steering angel sensor

[peely]

After putting new strut top mounts on me van and taking it for a test run the steering angle sensor as thrown a dickie as Vcds tells me is there a calibration to do or is it just coincidence it’s jaffered , any advise appreciated

[Giddy]

Have you tried to turn the steering wheel lock-to-lock?

[Doc]

The steering angle sensor on your van is compared from the steering rack and the ABS wheel speed sensors if I remember correctly. Did you disconnect any of the wheel speed sensors? Or maybe adjust track rod ends?

[peely]

I put a new track rod end on driver side doc .

[Doc]

Ok, did you adjust the tracking at all or just put the new end on where the old one came off?
There is a tolerance on the sensor, it must be within X° of its actual centre.
I'm not sure exactly of the tolerance but it is in the Ross-tech wiki.

Steering wheel was still bang on straight but I did have to wind the adjuster nut another 3/4 of a turn to lock it up , was going to get the tracking re done on my first day off , if it’s adjusted back will it fix the issue, ?

[Doc]

Without plugging in a looking at measured values it's hard to say exactly what is wrong. If you have VCDS, check what's going on in the steering assist module.
