This basic setting is used to zero-compensate the value from the steering angle sensor.
This must be done if:
The ABS control unit has been replaced.
The steering angle sensor has been replaced.
The steering column has been replaced.
Bodywork that affects the wheel alignment has been done.
The steering wheel has been removed.
An error code that requires zero compensation is stored in the ABS control unit.
Note:
The basic setting can only be done after entering a login code. This is done in the programming menu, using the function: Login
During basic setting, the ignition must not be switched off.
Method:
Make sure that no error codes are stored.
Check that the steering wheel is in the correct position when the front wheels are straight ahead.
Start the engine and turn the steering wheel one revolution to the right and one revolution to the left.
Drive the car straight ahead on a flat surface at not more than 20 km/h to check that the car does not pull to one side when the steering wheel is held in the straight ahead position.
Stop the car and make sure that the front wheels and the steering wheel are aligned.
Enter the login code.
Choose the basic setting: Zero compensation of the steering angle sensor.
The text: ”Adaption correct” confirms that zero compensation has been done. If the value for the steering angle sensor is greater than ±10°, zero compensation will not be accepted (adaption not possible).
Test drive again and check that the value for the steering angle sensor in data list 5 is within ±5°.
