steering sensor


Recommended Posts

Brake lights and diagnostic code pull. This started happening after I had an alignment done. I took it back and they said nothing was wrong. 3 months later the error message is populating again on the console. Not sure what it could be? I just have a hard time is the steering angle sensor.

Front and rear alignment procedures in the 2014 Edge Workshop make no mention of need to recalibrate any modules or sensors, and the Steering Sensor's description indicates its function measures direction and angle of Steering Wheel rotation only (with emphasis added).

 

Steering Sensor

The steering wheel rotation sensor uses an optical sensor and a slotted wheel to measure the rate of rotation (angle) of the steering wheel. The steering wheel rotation sensor uses the HS-CAN to transmit information to the ABS module about steering wheel turning direction (left or right) and how far the steering wheel is being turned. The steering wheel rotation sensor does not indicate the absolute position of the steering wheel relative to straight-ahead. The ABS module learns this position by comparing the steering wheel position with other signals and storing the position it has learned. The module confirms this position and modifies it as necessary during every new driving cycle.

Will2U, you're probably rightfully recalling that following front or rear Toe Adjustment, beginning with 2015 Edges, GEN 2 vehicles equipped with the Lane Departure Warning (LDW) System require the camera alignment procedure to be performed on the vehicle's Image Processing Module A (IPMA) using a scan tool.

 

Good luck!
