29 Steering angle implausible
Possible cause(s) of fault:
- Faulty calibration
- Vehicle track maladjusted
- Incorrectly coded
- The steering-angle sensor can be twisted on the steering column
Storage condition(s):
- The DSC continuously checks internally whether the values measured by the sensors are plausible. If the steering angle does not match up to the other values, the fault is entered in the DSC.
Troubleshooting procedure:
Read out the fault code memory of the steering-angle sensor If the causes of the fault mentioned above are present, a fault must also have been entered in the steering-angle sensor.
If the check results in nothing unusual and the fault was only entered once, the fault can be ignored. Otherwise, extreme driving situations can also cause this fault entry.
Examples of extreme driving situations:
- Towing with raised front or rear axle with ignition switched on
- Driving at high speed and strong cross-wind
- Straight-ahead driving with submerged wheels, e.g. in deep snow or mud
- Skidding with steering wheel not held
