<p>[QUOTE="Goodysnap, post: 12373779, member: 200878"]Steering angle is used for ABS and stability control. The ECU watches the sensor for steering action from Zero( straight ahead) as it relates to degree of turn from Right (positive) and Left(negative). When the wheel is turned weight is transfered to the opposing wheels. This matters because the ABS now knows that the wheels with less weight on them will likely lock up first during a braking event.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only way I am aware to calibrate the sensor is using the corresponding diagnostic tool to 0 the sensor at wheels straight ahead, be it Bendix or Wabco systems. This should be done any time the sensor is replaced or the steering components are disconnected to ensure its accuracy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
