Fault description
：
Skoda Octavia accident car, repair shop after replacing the brand new steering machine, the instrument light on the steering machine red fault light, the fault code is: G85 angle sensor not matched. The workshop has tried a variety of methods but still cannot match and set the steering angle sensor, and has not been able to eliminate this failure.
Troubleshooting:
First check the lines, plugs, fuses to make sure there is no problem, connect the PS90 decoder to enter the steering machine to read the fault code, there is no match or setting for the steering angle sensor, and then enter the data stream, 060 group, read the value, and show that the G85 steering angle sensor is impossible.
This means that the steering angle sensor is not matched or activated. Normal data values are
Probably, according to the fault code and data flow analysis read by the PS90 decoder, the steering machine of this car is brand new, this car is the third generation of ZF steering machine, the control unit and the steering machine are assemblies, can not be replaced separately, then the new control unit and the steering angle sensor factory setting is not communication, that is, there is no activation meaning. Conversely, the steering angle sensor cannot be matched and set without activation. Now that the fault is obvious, just activate the sensor in the control unit.
Troubleshooting:
Activate the steering angle sensor, connect PS90 to enter the steering machine, select the matching option, enter, and then enter the channel number of 001–009 respectively to read the value, (the value must be the same as the value of the original steering machine, the reading method is, one Install back to the original steering machine to read the value, two Find the same configuration of the model to read so the repair shop must read the matching value of the old steering machine when replacing the new steering machine), and then set the steering angle sensor, troubleshooting.
Summary:
This car because the repair shop is not familiar with the Skoda car needs to do the procedure to activate the steering angle sensor after changing the steering machine, so it is necessary to understand more about the working principle of this steering machine, and skillfully apply PS90 to activate, match and set the steering angle sensor.
