- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- In this final Episode #4:
I remove the tricky steering angle sensor showing the best positions and tools to access. Open up the steering angle and find out whats the issue !
In Episode #3:
If you cannot clear the fault with iCarsoft or diagnostics, then it's likely you have a hardware issue, in this episode I investigate further and perform a full strip down of the compressor to replace the piston ring. This is a common issue where a worn piston seal can result in the compressor running on too long, over heating and triggering 'Air Suspension Inactive Fault' on your dashboard. Will replacing the piston ring clear the dash fault !
IN THE NEXT EPISODE#4 I STRIP DOWN THE STEERING ANGLE SENSOR, WILL THS FIX IT !?
Previous Episode #2:
• iCarsoft on Range Rove...
If you have a warning of 'Air Susp - Inactive' on your Range Rover L322 and you cannot clear it by turning steering wheel from lock to lock, I go deeper into the diagnostic with iCarsoft to understand what other items are linked and can cause the fault, ABS, and Steering Angle Sensor.

No need to remove plastic halves from steering column behind wheel. Just pop off side panel of dash and you can see right at the blind bolts.
Thanks so much for that really informative video; just had the exact same problem with my Disco 3. Drained the internet trying to search various soloutions but yours hit the nail bang on the head. You’ve saved me a lot of money - thank you so much 👍
Thats so great to hear! Do you know I started out helping people years ago by doing quick videos, then without realising saw that people started to subscribe to me.

Thanks if you subscribed etc
Thanks for making another really helpful video for the RR enthusiast
I think I have exact issue with my Disco 3, like you I serviced compressor which has sorted suspension fault but car goes in limp mode if you drive in a straight line for too long!! In limp mode the compressor goes to 50 deg - restart car and all lights go off and temp of compressor goes back to normal after 5 minutes. So making sure I keep moving the steering wheel prevents limp mode - sounds odd but that's what's happening - I have recalibrated with IID tool but problem still occurs.. Steering sensor change will be next.. Thank you.
let me know how you get on
Great videos i.m new to range rover I have 2009 sport 2.7. the BMW angle sensor you used to rebuild the original what model bmw . Keep up good work very helpful.
Thanks so much the steering angle sensor I bought was specifically for my car but is made by BMW
So i have a yello exclamation light that says dynamics fault and cannot choose snow , sand or rock mode ive change my front shocks and i dont loose air over night but light is still there , i did see that i have that code stored for a rear right wheel speed sensor & steering angle sensor & another one for lost communication for steering angle sensor module could thus be the culprit ?
have you tried to calibrate steering angle sensor turning full left and right? If you have Maxicom diagnostic I found you can calibrate this with the tool as I had to do this yesterday when I changed my steering angle sensor.
I don't have a range rover, but I have a icarsoft tool, Excellent work and very interesting too.
Great to hear!
Thanks for your great videos about this SAS problem. I have started the journey of hopefully replicating your success with it! However, I have come up to a STOP POINT!! The 3 screws holding the plastic cover under the steering wheel. Got 1 out. Next one in the very deep hole is not budging. I bought a T15 150mm long to reach it but still no movement. So, near and yet so far :( Any thoughts on other ways to approach that one (without destroying the cover in the process)? Then there is the 3rd screw still stuck in the hole also. Strange thing about this one is there appears to be some thing stuck in there with it - as if someone tried a drill bit and it got stuck.
Now I see that @BruceAllentools has commented "No need to remove plastic halves from steering column behind wheel. Just pop off side panel of dash and you can see right at the blind bolts". Perhaps I should try that alternative. Any thoughts?
Success!! at last .... I had to break the third screw hole but it was worth it ... time tomorrow to press on to the next hurdle ...... :) Couldn't have got this far without you quality video. So, thanks heaps for that.
I know what you mean about those screws, I found I had top pul the cover down as I turned the screw to release it. I did a follow email on steering angle sensor here: ruclips.net/video/y16dPBTGtqs/видео.html
hi i wonder if you could answer a question for me , i changed the SAS and when i tried to add it with the icarsoft it asked me for the steering column number , both the numbers on the column contain letters as well and the icarsoft is numbers only , yhanks jeff
Hmm interesting, did you change for a complete new sensor rather than just the brush part like I did? I haven't tried to add new one using icarsoft. Can you run a calibration?
@@GrooveOn Hi yes it was the other type on mine , so i changed it , and because i tried typing just the number not the letters, it won't communicate,
Just got the two codes. Car is in mid height and compressor turns on and off. But does not raise me high or bring me low. It’s right in the middle.
have you gone into the steering angle info to see what it says?
The air inactive code went away on its own. I have the trans safety program message and transfer case neutral message. I think k those two are the ones that gave me the air suspension message. It’s working perfectly now and it does not leak since in the morning it’s still in its proper height.
@@Truthfulfisherman sometimes turning steering wheel all left and all right can clear the error
Nice video. Really helpful.
cheers Shan !
Thanks, definitely worth a coffee ☕️ Enjoy it on me😊 educational and helpful. You're the first stranger I've bought a coffee for so you're honoured..... I'm a tight arse😂
Amazing, you are the first person to use the super thanks!!
I said I'd comment when i started this job after commenting on another video you had done. Thanks for an informative video. It's literally hanging in place ready to be bolted back up tomorrow. Had to see if it worked before final fitment. Steering left and right and no joy😢. Got my reader out and tried a calibration.... still no joy.... reset codes 🤦♂️ calibration and viola all sorted😊 suspension seems a bit slow moving but no faults. Car has been off road since November and i think the issues probably rose a long time before. How many brushes did i have left on the original one? None😮just wisps of cotton. Used internals fixed my issue as there was nothing left to bend. Cheers buddy😊
That is superb, I'm so glad you got it sorted mate, it's the whole reason I did the channel well done you! Thanks if you clicked on the 3 dots and hit the thanks with ❤️
Hi I've finally managed to finish the Steering angle sensor job ( what a bloody pain). I've come to put the under dash panel back , (fitted light and clipped in that round thingy but there is a connector block with pale green clips and I can't remember how it fits in. There is like a hole for a screw or bolt but I don't know where it attaches and I don't want to trap it as I put everything back.
Can you pay a video of connector?
Hello man i have problem with 2007 range rover sport, when i start car no problems at all, but when i even slightly turn wheel to the left the esc goes off and suspension fault special programs disabled, when wheel is straight left cornering light is on, when turn left the right cornering light is on.
That sounds very much what I had, it's very likely the steering angle sensor
Have a 2003 HSE here and just had this same error pop up yesterday. Very helpful video series. Thanks so much for putting the effort into producing this!
Thanks for the encouragement, 🙏 appreciate the subscribe
So i have the same problem with my 05 range rover. "Air suspension inactive" on dashboard and no lights and the module. I've already replaced the compressor, height sensors and all fuses. Also has same "can bus error. I'm hoping the steering wheel sensor is the answer to my problem. Thanks for video
well done for eleminating the ABS and Compressor, the steering angle sensor is fairly cheap, but a pain to get too. I hope you can use my video and get your Range going !
my plastic gear i think its called on the SAS sensor is very loose , and im guesing its why my hdc fault and lowered suspenion is coming up , cant find a video anywere on youtube to explain to the removal and replacement , any tips on this !!
do you mean the holder that the Steering Angle Sensor fits on too?.
*This channel is worth its weight in gold. I subscribed directly and check out all your other Range Rover videos* 🙃🙏🏻
Thank you, thank you 👍, as long as they help others save 💰
Finally got steering angle sensor done and bingo all lights off on display, no abs no hdc lights thank you.
That's amazing!! Well done you,
Hi you mentioned about changing the SAS top part, which part do you keep to avoid having to reset the system?
Yep, I'm doing a video on it now, if you subscribed and notify the bell it should let you know when it's uploaded👍
Hi mate I just received my 2nd hand SAS from a reputable source, I took it apart to check the contacts and all good thank goodness. Will fit this week all being well, and will let you know how it goes and if the 3 amigos disappear. One question, will it reset the air suspension led, im hoping it will delete the can bus error and reinflate the rear suspension as the front is still in motorway height setting.
@@George-hs2zm okay good stuff, I have also got a used sensor and yet to do what you are going to as since I did the video it's been working great no errors, so I am waiting until next week after the car goes for a MOT yearly UK check. Once you install, turn engine on try turning steering wheel full lock right then left to see if the fault clears on dash as this will calibrate the sensor position. Once this is cleared try turning car off and on and see if the suspension starts behaving, if you have a diagnostic like icarsoft you can use this too. Good luck let me know how things go👍🙏
@@GrooveOn I've tried to untighten the pinch bolt but it's so tight it's rounded off, any tips on getting it off.
You change the part with the worn brushes mate, keep the part you plug in
Great set of videos 👍. Keep doing what your doing. Very helpful and enjoyable to watch. 🙏
Much appreciated! I have just started a new series on an L320 Range Rover Sport
@@GrooveOn is that cost heavy steering wheel if not then what is reason the steering wheel is heavy but when i run the car a few second the steering so smooth but it goes heavy
Very many thanks for posting this excellent video! And also thank you for videoing the difficult, (I am sure) under dash views, the seemingly unrelated steering /suspension connection was very well spotted, but then that is the advantage of your electronic gadget, I do find that most of the electronic faults are due to using German made parts, every such fault I have had on my Range Rover and Land Rover have been traced to these black plastic encapsulated electrical gizmos, now we have your video tutorial to refer to when this fault comes up. Glad you have found the problem; I find it very rewarding when I finally find a broken contact or wire, you know you have found the cause! Chris B.
Again such kind words Chris B! I'll be sure to mention you in a future vid, really appreciate the feedback on my videos, it helps tell me if they are being helpful, it's all I ask 👍
@@GrooveOn Well! The Range Rover can be very intimidating to a lot of people, seeing you attacking it hands on is a huge confidence booster, even knowing that other owners are suffering the same problems make you feel you are not alone. Chris B.
@@453421abcdefg12345 Thanks ! for these older cars (which I love) the need TLC and I have years of figuring out how to fix myself, so love to help others try themselves. !
You info for me is fantastic
Thanks my friend and for considering the subscribe
Very good video that teaches us how it should be. I have a suspension issue where the front suspension is all the way down. The analysis program reports that it is "can bus fault". Could this be related to the steering angle sensor? Thank you very much
The canbus for suspension seems to be linked with three things, steering angle, abs, and air compressor, so if you can check your abs sensors are okay, and the compressor when it works is okay, it would suggest the steering angle sensor. Have you tried turning wheel to left then right?
@@GrooveOn thank you for your answer. Yes I've turned the steering from one side to the other several times and the error persists. "air suspension inactive" on the dash and "can bus fault" on the diagnostic tool
@@pires53 I had a bit of luck clearing the abs fault, then steering angle via the diagnostic, then I cleared the dash suspension fault with steering wheel. In that order.
@@GrooveOn after replace the front air suspension the canbus error disapear, one thing that I don't understand because my front suspension is not linked to anything.
one more thing: I bought the iCarsoft LR V3.0 at Amazon and this tool don't recognize the VIN, also don't read the SAS and the transmission. I cantacted the iCarsoft EU and they kick me off asking me to contact who sell the tool and send me a list of the Land Rovers which this tool read the SAS. On Range Rover only from 2006.
It seems like i'm not the only one with this problem and that it happens quite often... today i'm changing my sensor 😂 Thank you for the video and greetings from Germany, Michael
Go for it!!!
@@GrooveOn wowoooh dude.....what a really shitty job, I can say that...if you can do yoga, you have a clear advantage here 😂
@@GrooveOn So... problem solved. Without your excellent video it would definitely have taken longer. The only thing I did is that I removed the side fan and was able to get to the most difficult screw very easily 🙃 So thank you again for your great instructions, in germany I would now say - Problem gelöst 🙃🙏🏻
@@deutsche_lyrik fantastic, so glad it saved you money !!
@@GrooveOn With the crazy effort I would have paid 500-700€ in the workshop just for the work, without the actual new spare part 😂 I am incredibly grateful to you 🙏🏻
Great stuff! My steering angle sensor was replaced around year ago - it cost aproxx 320 euros in local garage. Now I see how much work and time you have to spend on it to replace that I'm glad I didn't do it myself :). Thanks for share.
Good work bloke. Q. did you look at replacment brushes....about $17 Au. All the BMW brush thingfies look the same. Im going to try that
that could be a great option. I was going to get a used module, but since I did the video and bent the brushes slightly that had worn, so far I have not had the error message come back !
@GrooveOn I pulled my sas apart and it looked like yours so I bent them up and started putting it back together to my surprise the shafts short. Im gunna laugh one day...but seriously its 4 or 5 cm too short. Is it the steering wheel length and height adjustment. A small piece of shaft I forgot
@@domrice9153 did you get that shaft back into the spline? Perhaps the wheel has moved via the adjustment switch?
@@GrooveOn not yet it's night-time so I'm brooding on it lol
@@domrice9153 yeah, good with extra light, what I did was prop up under steering column and lower trim to align it
Nice video. Really helpful.
Thanks
you are mecanik?
no, just an engineer who loves cars !
