Love these head scratching issues videos !

Top job Luis. Seems like stupidity is the hardest thing ever to reverse engineer.

interesting 'where's it gone' video .. always something to make us smile.

Learned things the hard way Luis.......there are manny things that can couse a angle foult on these models

I have seen a really similar issue in the past with a Golf. This is my understanding of how this sensor initialisation works and maybe what happened, in case this helps anyone On these cars the steering angle sensor (G85) settings can be lost when the battery is disconnected. It re-initialises by itself when it knows the car is travelling in a straight line. Or when you go through the basic setting procedure (in my experience, doing the basic setting is actually not necessary as long as the rest of the system is working OK... see below) How does the module know the car travels in a straight line? It looks at the ABS wheel speed sensors. When the car is moving slowly and ALL 4x ABS wheel sensors show exactly the same speed, the car assumes it must be moving in a straight line and will then init the steering angle sensor zero position. It seems the cars have more accurate readings from the wheel speed sensors internal to the module than what you see through live data - this makes sense if you think about ABS etc, the ABS module must have very fast/accurate readings for the wheel speeds for the ABS to work effectively. If there is any fault with a wheel speed sensor, giving inaccurate speed reading, it will think the car is not moving straight and will not initialise the steering angle sensor. Usually problems with wheel speed sensors will trigger a fault (as in video - stored fault) however it is so sensitive that faulty wheel speed sensors may NOT trigger a fault code straight away or even at all but still prevent initialising the steering angle sensor! To check if this you can drive the car slowly (

Excellent work Luis! It's unbelievable the number of "mechanics" (sucateiros) that exist :(

easy fix for u bro ,and yea i would have went straight to the part that was changed and checked it ,,,at least we all know what the sensor is and were it is on this model well done bro :)

Holy s**t how do some garages get away with this. Can't fix it "oh that's ok we just get rid of it and customer will never know" Garages like that should be shut down and the owners put into a big hole in the ground. I have to admit it did make me laugh at the stupidly of some people thinking they can get away with it. With social media being so big now, I hope the owner of the car gave them a really sh*t review and actually told the rest of us what they did.....Well done sir for another great video....

I swear It wasn’t me 😇 only joking , top job as always Luis 👍👍👍

It looks very simple when you’re doing, it’s god’s gift for you. 👍

by the looks of the tape on holding the module,,its a fabrications defect,,,i got one no horn,,,pushed module up and works,,had to tape and wire tie down,,,,,tnx for video,,no wonder no angle sensor,,,its not there,,,lol,,,,,,,,,,

Parking brake fault might just be the switch... they're known to go bad sometimes and throw up random/intermittent faults, happened to me on my old B6 Passat. The EPB motors are a problem on the B6's too... the plastic housing cracks around the back of the caliper and lets in road dirt & grime and rusts out the spline drive. Mine stranded me a couple of times like that before I ended up replacing both calipers lol

It’s quite funny how someone could reassemble it with no steering angle sensor 🤔 They make the repair process so much harder having to sort out there mistakes as well as original issue 👍

Would be great to hear the owners actual comments on the previous 'garage'😬

Great job Luis! Love your videos!

Ahh it wouldn't help the Christmas tree lighting if they put petrol in the car. Thank you nice work as always

Morning everyone... A 5:55am start it is then😄

Great video as always, technically not a "fault" haha, it's very worrying that these kind of folks are allowed to work on cars, the kind of garage to put oil on squeaky brakes.

Good job, that second problem has to be a limit sensor im guessing, VW love to play games like that!

Looks like the previous garage just fired the parts cannon at it and probably chopped and changed the stalks/clock spring/module etc. as they didnt know what was wrong?

Do you need to regularly update your MaxiSys, (for a fee) or you buy it once, and works forever? What about new cars that appear on the market? Thanks.

I have this exact car of this year and engine. When i steer at slow speeds, I hear a whining/whirring noise which goes away when the clutch is pressed down. Any ideas?

When problem exist , wheel steering is strong to move or only show yellow light to dashboard?

Electric stearing i gues, crazy in my opinion what do you think

I hate it when vag's instrument panels go like Christmas tree lights....

Hi Lois, Excellent video on diagnostic process. Got a question about TCU modules. Is kess or k-tag capable of copying or clonning automatic transmission control unit modules. Worthing on a getrag continental. Thanks

When you showed the diagram, I was like “why is he highlighting a part that we have not seen yet?”… and then… “the sensor is not here..” I laughed.. a LOT!!

Where is the Link to purchase the sensor???

I hate when people have to over complicate things if you don't know what you're doing it's true don't touch it it's like how are shower didn't work because the water pipes where air locked but my foster mam got someone she knows to take it apart and now it doesn't work at all because annoying he didn't think to turn off the water so now nothing works

Luis, where are you based? I have a 2010 Skoda Superb with electrical gremlins that suit your skillset. Cruise not working, radio turns itself up going around corners, intermittent wipers go full speed on lowest setting, dash lighting rheostat not working. I believe it's a comfort module issue but that's as far as my knowledge extends.

Why did somebody remove the sensor and not put it back in

"If you don't know what you doing - don't do it".... and few second later: " I dismantle all this stuff, trying to understand how it works"... Sound like you don't know ether. Lol. Just joking. They do same things, but you success and they fail. Other then that - great video.

thx

Why all the lights came back after knock of body ?

my sister in law has a ford edge 2016 has adaptive steering fault been in dealership 11 weeks has had 4 NEW steering wheel assy tried each one either another fault or wont program to car dealership brought in ford top technical they have tried repeatedly but cant program it to car but one taken from another car works ok now waiting to see what ford uk come up with.... in america they had recall in around 2017 as steering wheel assy went into various fault modes she bought hers in uk from new when she noticed steering very light it had no errors on display but after investigation seemed just stuck into parking mode so steering very responsive and dangerous its beyond a joke when the car manufacturer cant fix its own vehicles the cars ony done 28000 miles ....my idea is that theve either changed the pcb circuit and memory locations dont match to the latest program or they are trying to load the program to a chip that has no bootloader on it so is just dumb and unresponsive either way they havnt a clue and ford UK have no idea one has to ask how many others are driving around with a fault that dosent register on the fault display and have dangerous steering a five year old car that now seems to be unfixable by its own manufacturer....you could not make this up unbelievable and ford are very unhelpfull initally they were asking £1200 for the repair theve now dropped that but still dont have an answer have you had any dealings with ford adaptive steering?

Goòod joob

Change the wheel bearing

Still have abs fault Left rear abs wheel speed sensor Implausible signal

Hold on. You tell your viewers "If you don't know what you are doing, leave it for those that do.." or something like that. But then you have to call VW to figure out what you're doing, as you don't even know where the steering angle sensor is supposed to be. You even broke apart the steering control module, handled it without proper electrostatic protection while putting your fingers all over a board with CMOS components. Mmmmmmmm....

😄👍
