This is an angle sensor, often referred to as a clockspring, used in vehicle stability control systems like DSTC (Dynamic Stability Traction Control). It measures the rotational position and speed of the steering wheel, providing critical data to the vehicle's computer for precise control of braking and engine power. A malfunctioning angle sensor can lead to inaccurate stability control interventions or disable the system entirely, often illuminating warning lights.

Disconnect main battery before working on electrical components. Use dielectric grease on all connector pins. Check ground connections — most electrical faults trace to poor grounds. Test with multimeter before installing new parts.
Always consult the OEM service manual for model-specific torque values and procedures. WhatsApp our technical team if you need fitment guidance.
The most immediate symptom is the illumination of the DSTC or traction control warning light on the dashboard. If ignored, the stability control system may not function correctly during evasive maneuvers or on slippery surfaces, compromising vehicle safety. The ultimate risk is reduced vehicle control in critical driving situations.
Before removing the old clockspring, ensure the steering wheel is perfectly centered and locked in place to avoid damaging the new component. Never rotate the new clockspring independently before installation, as this can cause internal damage.
After replacing the steering angle sensor, a wheel alignment and a recalibration of the stability control system are typically required.
