Steering angle sensor

The steering angle sensor is an important component of modern vehicle safety systems, detecting the current position and rotational speed of the steering wheel. This data is transmitted to various electronic control units in the vehicle and is crucial for systems such as the electronic stability program (ESP), traction control (ASR), driver assistance systems, and electric power steering.

The sensor is usually located in the steering column area, often directly behind the steering wheel in the so-called slip ring module or integrated into the steering column module. Modern steering angle sensors use precise electronic measuring methods, such as magnetic or optical sensors, to determine the steering angle exactly and continuously transmit it to the vehicle control unit.

The data provided by the steering angle sensor allows electronic stability systems to compare the vehicle's movement with the driver's intended direction of travel. If deviations are detected, systems such as ESP can selectively brake individual wheels or adjust engine power to stabilize the vehicle.

A faulty steering angle sensor can lead to error messages in the vehicle, deactivated driver assistance systems, or impaired stability control. In many cases, the sensor must be recalibrated or relearned after replacement.

In this category, you'll find steering angle sensors for numerous vehicle makes and models, available in perfect original equipment manufacturer (OEM) quality or as high-quality aftermarket alternatives.
