Where did you download it from?

Hi Gazzuzz, Can I have your contact and address to your workshop. I want to bring my vehicle it's having some Steering Sensor problem.

GAZZUZZ:
the steering angle sensor is one of the components that makes up the Vehicle stability system. It measures the variations (in degrees) the steering makes. It is usually located under the steering wheel. It has no mechanical parts, so it seldom goes bad. What goes bad usually is the clock spring which is also attached to the steering angle sensor. Now this is my guess. The clock spring was replaced because of a loss of function on the steering (horn, buttons) when that was done it was not replaced with the exact part number that was removed, this changed caused the VSC system to see a Foreign part that it could not communicate with (the new steering angle sensor attached to the clock spring) this is an assumption. Pls respond by checking the part number of the clock spring

MotorGuru:
You are safe in that respect sir

MotorGuru:
You may just need a recalibration. If you are in Lagos you can contact Gazzuzz on this forum.

MotorGuru:
The Steering angle sensor works with your Vehicle stability control (VSC) system which in simple terms prevents you from spinning out of control when you negotiate a sharp bend or corner at high speed due to excessive (or not enough) steering input. It does this by selectively braking specific wheels to either avoid over-steer (fishtailing ) or under-steer.

It is important you fix the problem (likely a calibration problem) because this will disable your VSC system (your VSC light will be on). Did you recently do an alignment work that required them to remove your steering wheel?
