Faulty Clock spring/Steering Angle Sensor - Used or new?
Hi chaps
I've got a couple of error codes on my 2004 facelift V70 (which is putting the Anti-Skid service warning up): BCM-0109 communication between control units ; Communicational problems with SAS, internal fault SAS-000E steering wheel angle sensor ; Internal fault I gather this is the Clock Spring/Steering Angle sensor from my research, would that be the usual suspect for these codes? I read that a software update for this can solve the issue as it widens the parameters. I'm a bit short of time to take it somewhere for this, plus i'm not sure I want to do it if it might not even work. When I erase the codes, they appear straight after turning the wheel, so I suspect it's too far gone. I hope to fix it myself at the weekend. Anyone bought a new sensor and if so, how much was it? I don't have silly money to throw at the car, so might have to go secondhand. Or are secondhand ones pointless? Lastly, are they the same sensors for all P2 V70/S60s? Thanks chaps! |

Our V70 has the same steering angle sensor issue but we just live with it. It is not an MOT fail (or at least our local tester hasn't failed it on this).
Software update didn't solve it. See this: https://forums.swedespeed.com/showth...Guide-w-photos Last edited by marcb; Jan 27th, 2019 at 20:40. |

Thanks for that, i've a feeling that my MOT tester will fail it though, I thought a warning related to traction control would be a fail?

Got issues with this myself on 2003 XC70 AWD.
BCM0109 and BCM0115 communications errors and SAS024 error. Interested you say not an MOT fail....is this correct. Our MOT is due in 3 weeks, and I could really do without the hassle of investigating this, swapping out units etc. The previous owner had swapped the clock spring (with a second hand one) and seemed to make no difference, but I didnt have a VIDA/DICE to check when got it. Any tips..... |

There is a permanent Amber (not red) light. The service message can only be "losts" by toggling the display, but that is same for all messages in the display. Actually wondering if I could take the LCD illumination lamps and backlights out....Lol, just as temporary thing to get through test and give me chance to sort it. |

On our 2005 V70 there is no light, just the service message. It makes no difference to braking - may have some significance in extreme conditions but I stand to be corrected.

I think these don't go bad that often, not sure why they fail, but I wouldn't hesitate to try a used one. If installing yourself, careful with 'setting' the new one - really not difficult to set or replace, only difficulty is with some steering wheels which are awful to remove because the holes behind for the release mechanism are tiny and hard to release. But I believe your 2004 is one that is easy to release
https://youtu.be/idmPhHNNixI It seems that all cars with DSTC will require a calibration of the DSTC unit after angle sensor replacement. "The contact reel/SAS replacement requires a calibration reset using VIDA. When it is replaced and this isn't done it will almost always set codes for lateral accel and yaw sensor correlation. The new SAS/contact reel can (and usually does) have a slightly different signal at straight ahead compared to the previous one it was last calibrated to. Effectively when its signal matches the last one's straight ahead signal the yaw and lat-accel sensors say you are cornering or when cornering according to SAS those say you are going straight. Calibration blanks those memory cells and the BCM the learns those as a set once you drive a short distance with some left and right directional change." Fcpeuro.com lists different parts depending on the year and if the cars has STC or DSTC - see below the Fitment section STC 2001-2004 S60 V70 XC70 S80 https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/vol...622185#fitment DSTC 2001-2004 S60 V70 XC70 S80 XC90 https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/vol...622186#fitment STC 2005-2009 S60 V70 XC70 S80 XC90 https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/vol...264468#fitment DSTC 2005-2009 S60 V70 XC70 S80 https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/vol...313083#fitment DSTC 2005-2014 XC90 https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/vol...313084#fitment A forum discussion that may be useful https://forums.swedespeed.com/showth...Guide-w-photos
