BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Steering wheel
Operation: Steering wheel angle sensor calibration

If the ABS warning light or the stability control warning light (triangle with scum in the center) remains on on the instrument panel display, it is necessary to calibrate the steering wheel angle sensor; the same operation must be carried out every time the steering column or convergence is removed; to perform the calibration, a diagnostic tool is required to be connected to the OBD diagnostic socket, select the make and model, enter the ABS diagnosis module and perform the cancellation of the fault memory and calibration following the instructions of the diagnosis itself (steering wheel on the center); once the calibration is finished, make sure that the warning lights are off even by turning the steering wheel and perhaps check the parameters to verify that the steering wheel position corresponds to the zero angle and that the same varies linearly by turning the steering wheel to the right and left .

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
