Steering Angle Sensor
A sensor that measures steering wheel rotation and direction.
The steering angle sensor communicates with stability and ADAS systems to determine wheel position. It's critical for traction control, lane keeping, and electronic stability control. Misalignment causes warning lights or erratic steering assist. Calibration is required after suspension or alignment work. Accurate readings ensure vehicle stability and safe cornering.
