VW Steering Angle Sensor Fault? Maybe not! 

Great advice and video. All of my dashboard ABS /steering angle sensor/traction control lights remaining on were resolved, as soon as I renewed the heavily corroded N/S/R abs sensor ring. The system simply corrected itself when I took it for a mile roadtest.

Thanks so much for this informative and professional video, original fault 2006 Golf 1.9tdi - Steering and traction control lights on, caused initially by low battery voltage, fault reading as steering angle sensor. Found a segment missing from the rear abs ring, after replacing with a new one the lights went out straight away. Initially spent a good while chasing my tail trying different steering angle sensors. Thanks again Will Brewin 🙏

Hi ..many thanks brilliant vid. Same issue...ultra low battery and i accidentally cut the ABS wire when i changed the coil spring, rejoined the wire..but the yellow steering light cwas on ...so drove a little...and it went out !

Awesome! Thanks for the information! My gti had the same issue and she was losing my hair trying to diagnose it

Extremely clear and very useful. Thank you.

I’m going to replace my front Abs Speed Sensor if that doesn’t work I’ll do the ABS. I recently had to replace the rear speed sensor. Your video provide some clarification for my problem

After a dead battery on my 2004 Audi A3 2.0 fsi my steering wheel light was constantly on and didn't go off after recalibration. Followed this video and found a rear right abs/wheel speed sensor faulty. Ordered a new speed sensor for around £12 so hopefully that is the gremlin. Epic video and straight to the point. Thank you.

Amazing who would have thought that was the problem nice one

Great vid mate Thankyou sorted mine out

Have same problem replaced rear wheel hubs and abs rings corroded will try recalibrate thanks very interesting video

Great video

Hey nice video bro and I’m having the same issue but I finally was able to calibrate the angle sensor but after driving the car a little more the steering wheel light comes back on and I have to recalibrate the steering wheel. Any ideas?

What happens if you’re driving with a faulty sensor ?? Going to buy a car unsure if it’s the actual sensor or if it needs calibrating. Would it be safe to do a 3.5hour drive (200 miles) with that light on?

Worked on 2007 Mk5, thank you!

Hi thank you for this video. Mk5 tdi with the abs esp light which i know from scan is rear right speed sensor. Ive ignored it for a week and now my steering angle sensor has flagged up after amber steering light won't reset. Hopefully the 2 are linked.

On my 2008 VW Rabbit, this light shows up every time I disconnect the battery and reconnect it. Fortunately, it goes away after I start to drive again. Another example German engineering gremlins in the electrical system. I have other issues as well, but the car performs fantastically as far as the mechanical parts are concerned. With over 162K miles on it, I can't complain. It's a keeper.

Hey was replacing front wheel bearing after iam getting warning sign of Power starring, ABS, hand break an engine light on at the same time

Hey man. If the sensor is giving live data for the angle speed, does it mean it works or it might be faulty? I have passat b6 3c and it locked the ignitay key in. For those who don't know its a button key that is inserted in a hole of sorts. So the car doesn't want to release it and I found out that the calibration is gone. I get angle speed but not the angle in degrees (C). I'll try to recalibrate and check on the abs sensors.

Thank you so much for video i had same problem and i fix it ✌️👍

I have same problem on an 2012 Audi A6 but all my sensors are reading any ideas??

Must the engine be turned on or just the key turn on?please

Thank you!

Have the same problem all okay after battery dissconect,one abs wheel bearing is bad i will replace and replay thanks!

The steering orange warning light has came on on my 09 Passat after towing it, trying to fix it at tge moment

I have the code 00573 every time I fall on bad ground it activates. could that be the problem?

I'm having a similar problem on a 2013 Tiguan. Replace the clock spring and the steering angle sensor will not reset. I will have to check the ABS rings.

I get the error steering sensor mechanical failure. No issues on speed sensor. Just got a brake pad warning error. Wire was chaffed. Replaced and brake pad wear sensor still problem

Hi. I've had the same problem so my question is if your steering wheel was hard to turn and if it was a red warning light or yellow?

The noise we hear around minute 02:20 is normal? Does it indicate any issue?

No ABS codes?

I changed da same bearing an hub but nw itz flashing red

This is the problem with cars now to many sensors and so much that can go wrong with them never had all this on mk2 escorts

Could I get some quick internet advice on this issue? I have my NCT coming up today and I just got my passat back from service yesterday. I know NCT means nothing to most of u, but the car must pass it to be legally road worthy (car health check kind of thing). I had my engine thermostat changed, which required the mechanic to take a good chunk of the front of the car apart, including disconnecting the battery. Now my car is displaying the power steering icon on the dash and the steering feels strange - the car won't straighten up on its own; note, the power steering DOES work, it just doesn't work as smoothly as before. I don't think he damaged anything regarding the power steering, but I am also unable to get the light to go away or to get the steering to feel as it did before - I tried the calibration, nothing happened. I have 6 hours before the NCT test, so if I could find a solution in this time, I'd be very happy, otherwise its 55 euros thrown in the bin. Thank you!

hi im anthony i have seat leon that has same light on red but power serring is working fine but i put back shocks and srings on back then light came on i sad to my macanic and he said its nothing to do with it but i think hes rong just dont whant to spend more trying to find fault it gave a 00573 code

I am getting an error relating to the steering angle sensor. the main problem I have is the traction control light wont go off.

Steering wheel (44) # ecu coding

I got an ABS, ESP, & Tyre Pressure Light on & Steering Light On, My steering doesn’t retest to centre when cornering… do I need to replace the rear reluctor & bearing?
