Steering Wheel Position Sensor

The power steering control module uses the steering position sensor to determine the steering system on center position. Since the power steering motor provides a slight amount of return to center assist, the power steering control module will command the power steering motor to the steering system center position and not beyond. The sensor is a 5-volt dual analog triangle signal device with a valid signal voltage range of 0 - 5 volts. The sensors signal 1 and signal 2 voltage values will increase and decrease within the valid voltage range, and stay within 2.5 - 2.8 volts of each other as the steering wheel is turned.
