Position Sensor

A sensor monitors the position of the hollow shaft and the bearing eccentricity. A magnetic ring on the hollow shaft works as a sensor. The magnetic ring has eight poles. A sensor with three Hall elements monitors the magnetic field. Every time the engine rotates 15 degrees (corresponds to 0.3 degree on the steering wheel) a signal is sent to the Active Steering Control Module -J792-. When the ignition is turned off, the actual position in the Active Steering Control Module -J792- is stored. If there is a sudden loss at terminal 30, the Initialization sensor recognizes the zero position.
