What tools can do a steering angle sensor calibration?

@CoreyNJ

Thinkdiag - best bang for buck .. software like x431

So if the x431 has it I am pretty sure thinkdiag will

I don't have in front of me .. but i recommended to someone who is on vacation for another week ,,i can ask him to check

Or order on amazon and send back if you don't like .. it is a great piece of equipment even if it doesn't have steering calibration

I have the launch x431 and foxwell .. but won't be near my car for a while to check either one

I asked someone to look at Launch and under Ferrari there isn't any steering calibration .. even service functions doesn't have Ferrari .. so now not sure even x431 can do .. hope others will chime in ... if x431 can't do i doubt the thinkdiag can since same software

but the coverage does say it has it

https://qcar.x431.com/qcar/#/pc/detail?series=1&car_type=3&soft_name=Steering%20angle%20reset&package_id=RESETSAS&ver=11.01&q=e30%3D

 

Sorry for the multiple replies but I powered up omy launch and it has Ferrari listed under Service Functions .. but of course It needs to be connected to a real car to get any further .. 12v just got me to menu

I would take the chance and order it now

 

It is listed in the 431 manual but only works on some cars, i will try on my 430 tomorrow to see if it connects to it

 

I asked @RonScuderia to test and he got all the way to the point of actually doing it so it should work ..

I know you like to do odds and ends on the car and look at issues before bringing to shop

The thinkdiag is very very powerful for 120dollars for one year

No he tried the x431 which the thinkdiag uses the same software .. so most likely it will work
If you want someone with thinkdiag ( link provided above ( 2nd post) I can have that tested july 10th -
But i think you will be extremely happy with the link I provided - just know it is for one year

If I didn't have a few launches, foxwell, ODIS etc I would pick it up as well

 

Corey .. if you are in the manalapan / freehold area ..i would be more than happy to run steering calibration for you on the x431

Probably take a few minutes

 

Ok I will ask next week

But you can't go wrong with that Amazon purchase .. i am almost positive it will work and all the things it does like a x431 and being so inexpensive

Just let me know ..I am here whenever you need me

The Launch works. I've performed the procedure a number of times.

 

@CoreyNJ - I had the same problem, Brake light would off after about 15 miles every time I drove. Used thinkdiag to reset the steering angle and has been fine so far.

 

Other than following the prompts anything special that we should be aware of thanks in advance

I dont remember the exact steps but it was straight forward. I think I went to the actuator function and reset the steering sensor and that was about it.

There isn't a selection under the brand Ferrari but it looks like it is under the service function menu ..

The road wheels must be pointing dead ahead when the procedure is performed - I say road wheels because it's possible that the steering wheel wasn't centered correctly after tracking/alignment.

 

Corey, I thought I would go and try it out and realize my software is called Diagzone Pro - not sure how different it is to them though looks very similar. Couldnt run it as it says my license has run out which is very strange.

Corey, Will take a look at the actual software tomorrow, I do remember doing a reset and not a learn

 

Glad it worked out

I am here if you ever need anything

Hey Corey, do you happen to have any pics of the steering nut that you tightened up?

I've got some play in my steering and plan to do same

Thank you!

 

Awesome! Thank you!
