Fault Tracing Information






Fault tracing SAS-C008B64

Checking the fitting of the Steering Angle Sensor (SAS)

Note! The trouble code indicates that the Steering Angle Sensor (SAS) is incorrectly fitted. It is very important that the switch roller/Steering Angle Sensor (SAS) is correctly fitted. If the unit is fitted with the rotating centre section displaced by one complete revolution, internal components can be damaged when the steering wheel is turned to full lock. If it is possible that the unit is incorrectly assembled, the switch roller must be replaced.




- Ignition off
- Align the wheels in the straight ahead position.
- Remove the steering wheel.
- Ignition on
- Turn the steering wheel by more than 5° in either direction to initiate the Steering Angle Sensor (SAS).
- Read the value of steering angle by clicking on the VCT2000 symbol.
Check that the steering angle is 0° when the wheels are in the straight ahead position. If the steering angle is incorrect, position the wheels straight ahead and loosen the steering wheel. Then adjust the contact roller so that the yellow mark can be seen in the contact roller window when the contact roller locking screw is in the correct position.

Note! If the ignition key is turned to position II when the steering wheel is removed, trouble codes for the steering wheel switches are stored in the Central Electronic Module (CEM).
