General Information: General Description

The steering angle sensor has a function to sense a steering angle and a velocity of a steering wheel.

The procedure is as follows: A drive turns a steering wheel → Main/Sub-gear turns → Rotation angle senses → A steering angle is calculated. The EPS (MDPS) CM uses signals of steering angle sensor and controls for its restoring and damping control.
