Where is the steering angle sensor located in a Volkswagen Skoda?
1 Answers
Volkswagen Skoda's steering angle sensor is located at the very bottom of the steering column. Introduction to the steering angle sensor: The automotive steering angle sensor is used to detect the rotation angle and direction of the steering wheel. Whether the steering wheel is turned left or right, it will be detected by the steering angle sensor, enabling the vehicle's electronic control unit to issue the correct steering commands. The rotation angle of the steering wheel provides the basis for the vehicle's steering amplitude, allowing the car to drive according to the driver's steering intentions. Composition of the steering angle sensor: The steering angle sensor consists of components such as a photoelectric coupling element and a perforated slot plate. The photoelectric coupling element includes a light-emitting diode and a phototransistor. The perforated slot plate is placed between the light-emitting diode and the phototransistor. The perforated slot plate has many small holes. When the steering wheel is turned, the perforated slot plate rotates accordingly. The phototransistor operates based on the light passing through the perforated slot plate and outputs digital pulse signals. The vehicle's electronic control unit uses these signals to identify the steering angle, direction, and rotation speed of the steering wheel.
