Diagnosis instructions

Commissioning/aligning of the active steering is necessary during or after the following work:

axle adjustments
After work on the steering column
after replacing or programming the active steering control unit
after replacing or programming the steering column switch cluster (SZL): E60/61/63/64
after replacing the steering column switch cluster (SZL): E90/91, E87
after replacing or programming the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)
on adjustment of the steering angle sensor
After replacing the steering box

Here, select the service function Commissioning/aligning active steering and work through it (automated operation).

The function can be found at the following path: Service functions/Chassis and suspension/Active steering Angular range of the cumulative steering angle sensor

The steering movements permit the following angular ranges of the total steering angle:

E60/61: +/- 506 degrees E63/: +/- 526 degrees

With increased steering momentum, the total steering angle can be slightly enlarged. If the vehicle is on the ground with the engine running (full power-assisted steering), the angular range at normal steering momentum for the E60/61 is approx. +/- 500 degrees.
