Angle sensor with information about the need for replacement

Angle sensor replacement in a car solves the following problems and improves various aspects of the control system:

  • Steering Accuracy Issues: The steering angle sensor provides accurate steering position data to electronic steering systems.
    A faulty sensor can result in inaccurate steering, making the vehicle difficult to maneuver.
  • Stability control and traction control malfunctions: These systems use data from the sensor to adjust performance, for example, when skidding or sliding.
    Incorrect data from a faulty sensor can reduce the efficiency or cause these systems to malfunction.
  • Problems with adaptive cruise control and automatic steering systems: In modern cars, the sensor is used to operate automatic steering systems such as lane keeping.
    Incorrect readings can interfere with the operation of these systems, reducing driving safety and comfort.
  • Incorrect Dashboard Readings: Errors in sensor data can cause dashboard information such as lane departure warnings to appear incorrectly.
  • Steering System Functionality Issues: Vehicles with electric power steering use sensor data to determine the required level of steering assistance. A malfunction can lead to unpredictable behavior of the power steering.

Replacing the steering angle sensor helps restore proper operation of all of these systems, improving safety, steering accuracy, and overall vehicle performance.
