Steering Angle Sensor: Description and Operation

The steering angle sensor contains a potentiometer with two wipers which signal the control unit how far and how fast the steering wheel is turned.

The signals received from the sensors are processed by the control unit, which sends signals to solenoids on the front and rear shock absorbers. The system response can be varied by the driver by selecting the Sport (S) or the Comfort (K) position on the console mounted program switch.
