Read off the steering wheel angle. With the steering wheel and the front wheels in the straight ahead position, the value for the steering wheel angle must be approximately 0°.
Turn the steering wheel 90° to the right. Check that the value is correct
Turn the steering wheel 90° to the left. Check that the value is correct.
