Kia Sedona: Steering Angle Sensor Description and Operation
Installed in MDPS (Motor Driven Power Steering), the Steering
Angle Sensor (SAS) sends signals to HECU through CAN communication
line.
The SAS is used to determine turning direction and speed of the steering wheel.
The HECU uses the signals from the SAS when performing ESC-related calculations.
Components (Steering Angle Sensor, Torque Sensorm Failsafe
relay, etc.) of the EPS system are located inside the steering column
and EPS control unit assembly.
Steering column and EPS control unit assembly must not be disassembled for inspection or replacement
(Refer to "ST (Steering system) Gr.").
