Steering angle sensor issue

[roybrown]

Need help. Is it possible to take the steering angle sensor of. without the abs and traction control lights coming on. Cheers Roy.

How do you mean "Take the steering angle sensor off", Perma remove?

Cheers for the reply. I want to remove permanently but when unplugged the abs light and traction control light stay on. Can this be resolved.

 

[MicKPM]

No then - The ABS module requires the SAS Signal to be able to do its job.

That's what I thought. Worth asking though. Cheers MicKPM

You could always fit a non-ESP unit from an early Ph2

Sorry for my ignorance. Do you mean a sas from a early 182.

 

[MicKPM]

No, I mean the entire ABS setup from a non-ESP ph2 172. All 182's have ESP as do most Ph2 172's

A 172 Cup doesn't have ESP so could be a donor option

 

[MicKPM]

No as they don't have ABS at all

 

[TarkMalbot]

Ah yes. I was still half asleep. So the ESP unit is also the ABS unit.

Cheers for the help fellas. Think I need to look at a different wheel.

So if it doesn't have abs or esp does it not have an angle sensor?

 

[MicKPM]

No - The "SAS" is an input device for the ESP equipped ABS modules which allows it to run the extended ABS ESP program.

Ok so I have an 04 182 and I have the esp, abs and Serv lights on, a basic vag is reporting an angle sensor fault.

I took the wheel off and I don't see what I expected to be ythe angle sensor but I just have the unit that the airbag leads come out of and the stalks are attached to.

I went to a breakers and took the wheels off a 172 and a couple of non sports and it looked the same as mine - the bloke I bought it from said he'd replaced the angle sensor - do you think I'm just missing it then and the others I looked at didn't have esp? If I get one it will just fit right in?
Thanks for your help

Well this isn't mine but it looks the same as this, ignore the arrow

I was expecting to see the SAS between this and the steering wheel
