The following problem: GRA (presumably a system) was installed => steering angle sensor was damaged => a new one was purchased from an online marketplace => it cannot be adjusted. icon_evil.gif

I followed all the instructions as described, but I'm getting the error: "Adjustment not possible!"

I'm stuck now, does anyone have any ideas what might be causing this?

Data:

VAG-COM Version: Release 311.2-N.

Control Module Part Number: 1C0 907 379 E
Component and/or Version: ESP FRONT MK60 0104
Software Coding: 0019970
Workshop Code: WSC 01317
2 Faults Found:

00778 - Steering Angle Sensor (G85)
003 - Mechanical Failure - Intermittent
00778 - Steering Angle Sensor (G85)
005 - No or Incorrect Basic Setting / Adaptation.

Mechanical fault?! Does this mean the steering angle sensor is misaligned or defective?

Well, a dictionary helps: Sporadic mechanical failure. There's probably a reason why this part ended up for sale online...

Could it be that he's confused?

I determined the center point before installation.

Perhaps it's possible, or maybe you should just ask someone who knows about it.

Good idea, are you familiar with it? icon_evil.gif Unfortunately, I don't know anyone who can help, and I don't want to take the car to the workshop.

I've learned all of this information from this forum. It's also one of the reasons why I ended up here and not in a forum dedicated to spoilers or wide tires.

For those who are still interested: the solution to the problem icon_smile.gif

@ Rainer

Not everything that comes from the sea is defective. icon_wink.gif

@ all

I used VAG-com to determine the steering angle and adjusted it until it displayed zero degrees. Then, I adjusted the steering wheel and made the necessary steering angle adjustments.

P.S. The central position of the dispenser was certainly not icon_evil.gif.

Thank you to the forum; the knowledge that has been collected here is enormous icon_biggrin.gif.

Hello, what do you understand by "adjusting the steering angle"?
Does that refer to the zeroing of the steering angle sensor? There's a specific procedure for that that involves using Vag-***.

I hope you didn't mess up the steering's zero point when you turned the steering wheel, otherwise, the steering wheel will be misaligned and you'll have to turn it to drive straight.

Have you ever tried turning the wheel fully to the left and fully to the right and checked the values? If the sensor isn't centered, you might get an implausible signal when you turn the wheel all the way.

No, that's not what I meant. No, I determined a value of 0° in the MWB (which is approximately the center of the sensor) and then reinstalled the steering wheel.
