Innova 5610: Performing a Steering Angle Sensor (SAS) Calibration

A Steering Angle Sensor (SAS) calibration using the Innova 5610 is a specialized service procedure that resets the vehicle's Steering Angle Sensor to a zero-degree baseline.

What the Steering Angle Sensor Does

The Steering Angle Sensor measures the position, angle, and turn rate of the steering wheel. This data communicates directly with safety and handling systems like:

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
Anti-lock Braking Systems (ABS)
Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)

When You Need a Calibration

A calibration is required when the computer loses its center baseline, which commonly happens after:

Getting a wheel alignment
Replacing steering or suspension components (affecting toe or thrust angle)
Being involved in a collision or disconnecting the battery/steering column
