New to INPA -Steering Angle Calibribration Reset???
First time user - I've just installed and have INPA up and running. I am a complete novice trying to re-set a faulty steering wheel angle sensor to 0.0º with INPA.
Is INPA capable of doing so? I am confused. Below are screen shots I've taken... Loading the initial screen - I select: <shift + F4> (R50,R52,R53) Mini...
After hitting "select", If I choose DSC MK60 from the list - I get this error dialogue...(see list in pic below)...
Selecting "steering angle sensor" from the list, I can get to a screen that shows me an live data steering angle analogue
Having set my front tires and steering wheel perfectly straight (beforehand), I can finally tweak the "Steering angle" to read 0.0º...
But here I am stuck. How do I lock or set the 0.0º value to my steering angle sensor now that I have everything dialed in/straight?
I can't seem to find a selection or way to do so.
I've tried to follow @ssoliman 's tip/AI instructions from the "Foxwell NT510 can't communicate with body modules" discussion thread but this version of INPA maybe a little different (?)
I see no option for "compensation/calibration routines" > select F1 option to "reset or calibrate the steering angle sensor"...
Am I missing something or is INPA incapable of performing the calibration reset?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
OK.
Well, I'm beginning to believe this version of INPA is missing stuff/incomplete.
I've been following a couple of YouTube videos on how to calibrate/reset the SAS using INPA - it is only when I reach the pinnical point to "ACTIVATE"..... huh? - There is no Activate button. There is a spot for it F7 but it's blank.
(no offense intended to anyone and I don't mean to sound ungrateful but so far I kinda find (at least this DL of INPA) this version (?) of INPA quite useless.)
Perhaps someday it might come in handy.

Hey - Thanks for the link.
I can almost recite word for word what@analyte had mentioned. With my wheels absolutely straight my steering wheel is just a slight degrees off (I have a slight amount/1/4" play = L 1/8" & R 1/8" of center). INPA reads the SAS to be .04° - .40°.
My version of NCSexpert is blank when plugged in and launched. I'll have to look for a crash course on how to set it up....
But it appears from what I've read; ISTA maybe what I need as well.
In my attempts with INPA and my C310+ to get access to the Steering Angle Sensor. I had better luck with the C310+ to read the steering angles. My version of INPA did not give me much... maybe even less then you. I do believe that ISTA is what we need.... way more involved than INPA.
Pulling the SAS is not that difficult. Awkward angles working under the steering wheel but 1 bolt out of the U joint and it' slides right off. There's a link to step by step instructions in one of these threads we have going. Once it's out, if you have a scanner or INPA to read the angles, it's pretty straight forward.
**But take this all with a grain of salt because I have not confirmed that my SAS is functioning correctly at this point.... one drive around the neighborhood does not, in my mind, constitute "fixed".
