Hi all,
I have a 2008 Saturn Aura. 2.4L with electronic steering.
I recently had issues with steering wheel jitters and occasionally shutting down of the power steering. I replaced the steering angle sensor purchased from Auto Zone. I also purchased a ENCEL AD610 PLUS diagnostic tool to calibrate the new sensor. After installation, the steering jitters have gone away and the power steering does not shut down.
The ANCEL AD610 Plus has these three functions under the SAS module.
*Steering Angle Sensor Centering
*Steering Position Sensor Calibration
*Steering Tuning Selection
When I run the Steering Angle Sensor Centering test, I believe I found "center"? While on flat ground driving, the steering wheel does seem to center out and I don't feel any steering assist taking place. The wheel is centered while driving straight.
When I run the Steering Position Sensor Calibration I get an error message saying "Request Rejected by the Control Module/Request Sequence Erro"
When I run the Steering Tuning Selection, I can see live data and I have an option to select "Calibrate" but it doesn't seem to do anything, zero directions on how to use any of these functions. Of course Tech Support for the ANCEL unit is from China so response times are off hours and have actually been more confusing than anything.
Besides not understanding how to use each of these calibration modules or sequence I should be following, the only problem I'm having is the car is harder to turn left that it is to run right. It takes just a little more effort to turn left at any speed I'm going.
May be important to say that prior to taking out the old sensor the car's steering was perfect. No tire wear, not clunking, knocking from the front end.
I believe I've installed the sensor correctly lining up the arrow with the grooves as well as the steering wheel grooves. It seems they both truly only go back together in one position.
Any help would be greatly appreciated to resolve this...
