Obviously in my case I just had thrown something out of kilter during my turning the wheel back and forth during my fluid purge / replacement process and nothing was really worn, broken or dead in the system. If I had BMW's Active Steering this may not have worked but in my case it did the trick. I turned the steering wheel lock to lock (all the way left and then all the way right) 3 times with the car running and that re-calibrated the system and the error was then gone. BMW Scanner 1.4.0 is an easy tool to use that will allow you to program or code a replacement Steering Angle Sensor, will show you Live Steering Angle Sensor data and will read codes in other modules such as the ABS unit and/or cluster. I was pretty frustrated so I was up for trying anything and it worked surprisingly.Īfter 45 minute I reconnected the battery and started the car. I ran into a post that suggested centering the steering wheel and then disconnecting the battery (negative terminal) for 30 to 45 minutes. The process overall worked well but somehow during that process I upset the steering angle sensor gods and could not reset / clear the codes with the Carly app. The I put i new reservoir in and topped up the system. I actually had the misfortune of getting myself a steering angle sensor code and dash warning after changing out my steering fluid by hooking a clean reservoir of fluid to the intake side of the steering system and placing the other end into a waste tank and then turning the steering wheel back and forth (lock to lock with the car off) many time to pump out all of the old fluid and replace with the new (did this until the fluid come out the return side was crystal clean).
