Description And Operation: Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Kia Soul EV. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Installed in MDPS (Motor Driven Power Steering), the Steering Angle Sensor (SAS) sends signals to HECU through CAN communication line.
The SAS is used to determine turning direction and speed of the steering wheel.
The HECU uses the signals from the SAS when performing ESP-related calculations.
Components (Steering Angle Sensor, Torque Sensor Failsafe relay, etc.) of the EPS system are located inside the steering column and EPS control unit assembly. Steering column and EPS control unit assembly must not be disassembled for inspection or replacement (Refer to the appropriate service information. "ST (Steering system) Gr.").
