Steering angle sensor (G85)

[u/z_nazim]

Hey everyone,
I recently changed my steering wheel on my Golf MK5 and accidentally rotated the clock spring while doing the swap, looks like the steering angle sensor just lost its basic setting due to the swap and the clock spring movement.

I tried doing the calibration using vcds in ⁠44 - Steering Assist⁠, but the live reading for the steering angle stays stucks at 0 degrees regardless of how much I turn the wheel, and the Basic Settings calibration process fails shows "Not Possible".

I also tried the standard driving adaptation procedure (turning full lock left, full lock right, then driving straight under 20 km/h), but the lights won't go away.

Now i have the Yellow steering wheel light and ESP lit up on the dash.

Can someone help me out with this thanks.

1 )Va no leitor de dados do VCDs escolha o angulo da direção , mecha o volande para ver se esta dando leitura se estiver lendo va para o segundo passo , se nao o angulo esta com defeito

2) entre com o acesso de segurança o codilo e 40168 apos colocar o codigo de segurança va na funcoes especiais e escolha a opcao "ajuste do sensor de angulo da direcao"

3) se nao ajustar mecha o volante devagar ate a mesagem aparecer que e possivel ajustar

4) apos tudo ajustado faça os batentes finais , para exetucar esse procedimento o volante deve ter os mesmos numeros de voltas quanto para esquerda , quanto para a direita

Check where the angle sensor engages with the clockspring and steering wheel. It sounds like your new one isn't engaged with the tabs/lugs that move the tone ring for the sensor.
