Steering Wheel Movement Speed

Measurement range 0-1020Β° / s.

Shows the current steering wheel angle speed. The Power Steering Control Module (PSCM) receives the steering wheel angle speed signal from the Steering wheel angle sensor module (SAS) via the CAN network. The Steering wheel angle sensor module (SAS) registers the number of degrees/second as the steering wheel angle changes during a steering movement.

HINT: When the engine is running and no steering wheel movement is taking place, the value must be 0Β° / s. A rapid steering wheel movement should produce a high value, while a slower steering wheel movement should produced a low value.Β
