Tilt Sensor

TILT SENSOR

Description

- The tilt sensor is installed to the steering column assembly.
- The resistance of tilt sensor changes according to the up/down position of steering column.
- The terminal voltage of automatic drive positioner control unit changes according to a change of tilt sensor resistance. Automatic drive positioner control unit calculates the tilt position from the voltage.
