My iCarSoft code reader has complained about a communication error with the steering angle sensor in my 2005 Cooper S. Today I pulled off the coverings below the steering column intending to take a look at the sensor.My car has ASC, but apparently not DSC. so no sensor. I’d delete this post if I could. Embarrassed.

 

If you had deleted it, I would have one less chuckle in my day.

Kind regards,

Charlie

 

We need all the chuckles we can get! Glad I could provide one.

 

Hello dear,

I'm checking up on this fault as I have the same issue and clueless for whole 3 months.

TIA

 

The sensor is here behind the steering wheel and down the shaft for cars with DSC: https://www.ecstuning.com/Search/Sit...h/32306793632/

The other system (ASC) work off of the ABS sensor on each wheel and reads wheel speed. Most of the time with those its a bad ABS sensor.
