Essential Steering Angle Sensor

When it comes to the seamless navigation of your vehicle, the steering angle sensor plays an indispensable role. Positioned within the delicate mechanics of your car's steering column, this sensor acts as the digital eyes and ears for your vehicle's stability control systems.

Why This Sensor is Needed ?

The primary function of the steering angle sensor is to monitor the position and rate of turn of your steering wheel. It is crucial for effectively coordinating the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS). By providing real-time data, it ensures that your vehicle remains stable and responsive, even during sharp turns or on slippery surfaces.

How It Works ⚙️

This sensor measures the angle of the steering wheel and sends data to the car's onboard computer. It correlates the desired steering direction with the actual position, allowing for precise adjustments to maintain the vehicle's intended path.

Consequences of a Faulty Sensor ?️

If this part becomes defective, you might experience unexpected issues such as the ESC warning light illuminating or even problems with automatic braking systems. A malfunctioning sensor can lead to decreased vehicle stability, putting you and your passengers at risk.
