When the steering angle sensor finds a discrepancy between the

direction your car is headed and the position the steering wheel

is pointed, it employs counteractive stability measures to

assist in maintaining vehicle control. If your car is in an

understeer condition, an inside rear brake will be applied

to correct the slide.

Conversely, if you’re in an oversteer condition, the stability system will

apply the brake on the outside rear wheel to correct your course.

If the steering angle sensor is not working, the stability system simply

will not work, and a warning light will illuminate on your dash.

 

                                                                                                                

 

 

                                                          The steering angle is defined as the angle between

                                                   the front of the vehicle and the steered

                                                   wheel direction. 

    
                                                   The steering system has a maximum(minimum)

                                                    steering

                                                    angle of +0.52359878 (-0.52359878)

                                                    radians or +30 (-30) degree.
