[SOLVED] Steering angle sensor error (trifecta light)

Not sure actually. For a start we had a torque code pop up.
Also, turning the wheel to the right all was good. Turning very gently to the left was ok, but turn it quickly to the left and it failed the EPS and kicked back, indicating it didn't like the sudden torque loading. Never any of that random twitching.
That video is telling me the EPS ECU is getting continual inputs telling it that the steering column is turning and its trying to adjust for them all.
As always................... what codes are there?

Always happy to help if I can.

If the forum helped you, why not help the forum back. Thats the Z4 way! :thumbsup:

To be honest I have no idea. I am dusting off the old laptop so I can plug her in and have a look at the codes.

I know that people have changed the brushes themselves in this sensor. New counters were taken from the ERA 550485 sensor (VAZ / LADA 2112) - the price is about 10 GPB + shipping
