Functionality steering angle sensor
The steering angle sensor is an important component in modern cars that measures the steering wheel lock angle. It is located in the steering column and provides precise information about the steering movements of the vehicle. The steering angle sensor enables the correct functioning of various systems, such as the electronic stability program (ESP).
These systems use the data from the steering angle sensor to monitor driving behavior and take corrective action if necessary. The steering angle sensor can operate potentiometrically, optically or with the aid of Hall sensors. The information provided by the sensor is of great importance for driving safety.
