STEERING WHEEL ANGLE SPEED SENSOR 

DESCRIPTION 

GENERAL DATA 

The steering angle speed sensor detects the angle of the steering wheel in order to which direction a user 
chooses. 

MEASURING PRINCIPLE 

A non contact, analog angle sensor carrying out absolute measuring by the use of the Anisotropic-Magneto-
Resistive effect (AMR). Measuring of the absolute angle b means of a toothed measuring gear with magnetic 
properties in combination with different ratios. Corresponding AMR elements that change their electrical 
resistance according to the magnetic field direction detect the angle position of the measuring gears. A micro-
controller decode: the measured voltage signals after A/D converting with the help of a mathematical function. 
Output of the digital angle value and velocity via CAN-interface.

STEERING ANGLE SENSOR (SAS) CALIBRATION 

1. PURPOSE OF CALIBRATION 



On vehicle control, an ESC analyzes the intention of the driver.  



An ESC recognizes a steering angle which a driver rotates through the steering angle sensor.  



A steering angle sensor used in ESC adjusts 0° setting of steering wheel through K-line or CAN 
communication.

Angular velocity

0- 1016 °/s

Non-linear angle

-2.5 °-+2.5 °

Hysteresis angle

0 °-5 °

Rotational friction torque measuring

10 °/s

1. Align the wheel to the straight line, (steering wheel < ± 5°) 

ex) Perform the wheel alignment first. 

Align the wheel to the straight line. 

A driver moves the vehicle forward and backward 

about 5 meters twice or three times. 

2. Connect Scan tool to the vehicle.  

3. Select Brake system.  

4. Select Steering angle sensor (SAS) calibration.
