Summary
This article introduces an I-CAR Repairers Realm educational video and resource series focusing on the design, operation, and diagnostic considerations of electronically-controlled steering systems. It highlights critical collision repair topics such as active returns, electrical end stops, steering angle sensors (SAS), and the necessity of using correct diagnostic tools during programming.
What to do on the job
Utilize the correct OEM-compatible diagnostic tools to program and calibrate electronically-controlled steering systems, paying specific attention to steering angle sensors (SAS), active returns, and electrical end stops.
How to use it
Use this resource to justify the necessity of diagnostic scanning, programming, and calibration of steering angle sensors and electronic steering components during structural or suspension repairs. It serves as industry-standard support from I-CAR to prove that electronic steering systems require specialized diagnostic tools and procedures beyond mechanical alignment.
