Total Steering-Angle Sensor

The total (summation) steering-angle sensor is only fitted in the vehicle if the active front steering system is fitted. The total steering-angle sensor records the rotation angle of the steering pinion and thus the wheel deflection (or actual steering angle) of the vehicle. The total steering-angle sensor is flange-mounted at the bottom of the steering gear. See Fig 1.
