How to reset the steering angle sensor using the Schwaben scan tool

[R1pilot]

I had to do this procedure after lowering the car and having the traction control kick in while turning. I first got a four wheel alignment and once that was done I went ahead and reset the steering angle sensor as follows:










From that point, you select Yes and it will ask you to center the steering wheel. At this point I started the car in order to have the steering wheel properly centered and hit go. It will then tell you to turn off the car and turn it on again and check for faults.

When I had checked for faults earlier, none showed, but the traction control was acting up. I did not check for faults again but I went for a spirited drive and the traction control did not act up anymore.

Hopes this helps.

Nice post.


Can this be done using INPA?

Looks like it.

Chassis->MK60->Compensation Routines->then F1

Ya I think this tool performs functions that you'd do with INPA or DIS. I did the ABS activation recently, I think I still have pics I can add.

I have INPA but did not try it as it has a steep learning curve and I could never figure it out. I am sure anything this can do, INPA can as well.

Awesome, just aligned my car with strings, will need to do this. I've never had an issue with DSC coming on but feel like my luck might be running out doing alignments myself and not having an issue. Will try it!

Good post.
i was hoping to revisit the function when I could find a stretch of time to browse the reader.
I had stumbled on the steering angle, abs purge and other useful tech when looking to solve a no crank no start issue during the Easter period.
