Renault/Nissan Steering Wheel Angle Sensor Calibration

Supported coding features by RenCOM diagnostic tool https://www.obdtester.com/rencom

Steering Wheel Angle Sensor Calibration

What it does

• Calibrates the steering wheel angle (SWA) sensor
• Ensures accurate steering input data for ESP, ABS, and traction control systems
• Synchronizes sensor with vehicle control units for stability and safety functions

When it is required

• After SWA sensor replacement
• After steering rack, column, or related ECU replacement
• When ABS/ESP warning lights or fault codes appear
• After collision repairs affecting steering geometry

Conditions that must be met

• Vehicle stationary
• Steering wheel centered
• Ignition ON
• Stable battery voltage
• Diagnostic tool connected

What happens during calibration

• Sensor zero point is detected and stored
• ECU updates steering and stability control algorithms
• Plausibility of sensor signals is verified

If calibration is not performed

• Incorrect ESP/ABS intervention
• Fault codes or warning lights may remain active
• Reduced vehicle stability and handling

After calibration

• Verify sensor values in live data
• Perform a short test drive
• Confirm correct ABS, ESP, and traction control operation
• Clear any remaining fault codes
